Hello Looptatsic Sages, I am 18 and I have decided to sell abunch of stuuf and go to europe for as long as I can afford and kick it loopin improv style when ever and wherever I can. I would like some input on taking gear on the road, european loop/music experiences, places to play/pan handel, free street coner shows borrowed cafe extension cord style, power supplies for euro, or any other tools, tips, or ideas you could give me. One of the major themes of this trip is to make it a complete exercise in improvisation. I only speak english and spanish so that will make being in countries that dont speak those languages intersting. I think I want to fly into paris unless there is a reason not to. About all travel preparation that I will have is 500$ and a lets go book. Here is the gear I am takin\ (18) space shock mounted rack (2) edps (prolly in stereo or with onefoot foot controller connnected to both with an a/b switch? Also may add ev-5's) (1) electrix filter factory with to cv pedals (1) lexicon vortex with foot switches and expession pedal (1) fostex 2016 line mixer( with 4 aux sends) (1) Dl4 (mabey with expression pedal mabey not) (1) Wh-1 whammy pedal Original(perhaps) (1) Eh Micro synth (1) Modded wha (1) Boss dist feedbacker I feel like I will want all the pedals mounted on a board that will fit in and out of a rack drawer, or mabey have all the fx pedals attached to a rack drawer that they live in and have the expression pedals on a borad that cam be removed a nd plced on the ground in a nother rack drawer? For guitar I have an early g&l pawn shop geetar that I would not be too heart broken if she dont survive the trip. ANy way She's got an A bass geetar a string on top, and will be protected only buy my wits and a $19.95 gig bag I was thinking about having a totally stereo path after all my mono fx and star at the stereo out of the dl4. Somthing like Dl4----->Mixer (mabey get 2 2016's so I can have but all my stereo fx in the aux sends and do feedback as well as being able to put my stereo fx in any order) Edp s in one aux,vortex in one aux , and filter fact in one aux, and then send the whole she-bang out to 2 gibson Skylarks( they live in the unused space at the bottom of my rack) I know this rig seems a little complicated but the reduced rig was microsynht--->whmmy---> dl4 1 skylark but then I have to carry them all individually instead on one big shock mounted box on casters. I feel like the best plan is to put my bbb(big bad box) in an airport locker and scope the scene out then comeback and get it? no? Beside the BBB I am just going to have a book bag type back-pack with 2-3 changes of clothes and 2 econo chef boyardee ravioli cans in case the goin gets tuff(they might also be in rack) A NOTe TO KIM OR MAttiIAS G: Are x-rays bad for edps?
