While I have the utmost respect for the contributors on this forum, the gapless thing seems to be a bit over blown. My guess is that there are a lot of us that use to or currently own old analog pedals boards. Tap dancing and time in between where you are and where you are going could seem to take days. Taking two or three tube amps to a gig, was pretty unheard of, maybe a couple Twins! However, taking a nice Fender Deluxe Reverb amp and then switching to something like a Marshall with 2 delays, phazer, wah, and tad of compression and EQ, wait how long did that take? I guess it's just a matter of player preference. To each his own. I'll get off my soapbox now. I'm real happy with my change to Fractal from my tube amps and old pedal boards.
