> At Y2K7 I
essentially used this rig, but I also dragged my big stomp box pedal 
board,
that I use on conventional gigs, along. I realized at the end of my set 
I
had barely touched any of my stomp boxes, and I had a bit of a 
revelation
that, Ah this has happened before... wasting energy setting up a mountain 
of
gear only to not use half of it.  The other revelation that is 
somewhat
obvious is that in pairing back the gear I end up playing more music 
and
spending less time tweaking and thinking about sound design.  


This topic sounds similar to the recent "computer suck creative energy", 
but on the hardware side, funny !

Bill, first of all i have to say that your set was really amazing for my 
taste, despite the unfortunate PA troubles.
What expecially i liked was listening to the music flow. 
Before the Y2K7, i just heard some clips of you playing at the Y2K6, but 
seeing you play live was very different, because i perceived that "magic 
touch" on your fingers...

In the past i had complex setting rigs, but in the last year i'm 
"minimizing" it (quoting Kris  ;-), because me too has discovered 
that,reducing the available options, you could concentrate more on Music 
(i 
would intend: touch, colors, phrasing, etc...).
I think that another example, in the same direction,  was Randolff. For 
what i remember, his set rig wasn't complex (RC50, FCB 1010 and an fx 
processor ?), but his act was musically warm and captured the audience 
attention.
Other example like Zoe and others could be done.

Simple is better ! i'm with you.
