Goodbye old pedalboard...

Horny bag of electric meat
This is my old pedalboard. It was a good pedalboard, but tap dancing on it wasn't much fun. In fact, I almost tripped over it the other night at rehearsal. And, adding new analog pedals is expensive, even when you use cheap pedals.

This is my new pedalboard. It's much easier to use than I expected it to be. It has 170 built in effects. And I can stack up to 17 different types of pedals in one patch. It's smaller, so it's easier to carry around, and I can put the patches in the order that I need them when I need them. And the software is very intuitive.

Most of the analog pedals will be sold to pay for the new board. I'll probably keep a fuzz box of some kind, but that's about it.
 
I’m glad it’s going to work out. I have some vids on my YouTube channel about assigning switches. The assign capability of this unit is really something.
 
Glad it's working out for you. I have a love/hate with my Headrush myself. I have all of these possibilities and find myself dialing in the same rig over and over. I realize now I would just need a Fender type clean platform with an effects loop for a delay and reverb, two or three drives out front to stack, an envelope filter and a modulation pedal of some type with a mix knob that I can turn down so subtle that it's almost undefinable.
 






First two are done with the Tone Studio app, and the third is done on the unit itself. I actually think it’s easier on the unit.
 
After messing around with this thing for a month, I found a few things that are lacking:

- A bypass function. You can set the tuner pedal to do bypass, but the volume is drastically lowered. Maybe I can get one of the buttons on the external pedal to be a bypass. I just haven't found a way yet. Maybe I'll just use a really clean sounding patch. Either way, it's kind of a PITA.
- The acoustic modelling preset sucks. It's just nasty sounding. There is a German acoustic guitar patch that is much better, but it's not quite the same as the sound of an acoustic.

The reality is that I'm still figuring this thing out. Basic stuff is pretty easy to use. But like I said, some things are lacking.
