Just Killing Time
Ok, so I'm thinking of this for my new live setup and just wondering if there's
any roadblocks.
What I have:
Rockwood Les Paul
MBox 2
Boss ME-50 (just for a little compression going in, controlling peaks etc. nothing else)
Guitar Rig 3.2.1 with Kontrol pedal
What I want:
I'll be looking into getting a new laptop (XP, either with 2 or 3gb of RAM or maybe
upgrading once I get it, I'll look into that separately)
and this:
http://www.behringer.de/EN/Products/FCB1010.aspx
The reason I want the behringer midi controller pedal is because it has easier
ways to switch presets (as opposed to pressing multiple pedals to get to a
specific preset), and it has two expression pedals as opposed to one
So setup like this:
Guitar >
ME-50 compressor >
MBox2 >
Laptop/Guitar Rig Standalone Software - controlled by MIDI pedal
then pan everything hard left in guitar rig and take left mono output from the
MBox2 to the desk, leaving mr. engineer to do what he pleases.
Any thoughts? Or good strummin?
Also, I have a 150w Valvestate Marshall Amp which I've really grown to dislike,
and Guitar Rig blows it out of the water aswell. Bought the amp for about €350
at christmas 2007, was on sale (RRP was approx. €750).
As far as I know, the valves are f****d, so I'm thinking of getting them
replaced (anyone have a rough price?), and then selling the amp for about
€400 - €500 (depending on the price of the valve replacement) to help
pay for this new setup. Is this too much money to be asking? The amp is in
perfect condition except for the valves.
Cheers guys
