I think the stress of my system crashing at gig or on the road would be so 
psychological disruptive to my creative process that I would likely just 
seek out a nearest music store, buy a Boss RC20 or Jamman, and just go 
back 
to basics...call it my looping version of the Derek Bailey approach!  I 
can 
barely get in the right state of mind for a performance when minor stuff 
happens like one of my stereo channels is not coming through and I have to 
troubleshoot my chords...another reason why I am happy to ditch the rack. 
I 
have a very fragile psyche when it comes to experiencing technical 
difficulties shortly before a gig.
