M@,
I would love to get an idea of the way you would consider building a pedal board (or even see what you currently use) based around an Axe-II and MFC-101.
The majority of my playing takes place in a studio environment where the functionality of my pedal board is not as critical as a live environment. However, I want to begin playing live more and hoping to make my board more functional, if not efficient.
When I built my pedal board, it was based on a concept of getting the max out of my Axe-FX/MFC-101 and not necessarily around a specific need – like a group of shows around a specific set.
As a result, I’ve got a fairly complex pedal board setup that I don’t take advantage of. I would love to have a more minimal setup without sacrificing some of the complex capabilities the system offers.
My current board consists of:
MFC-101
Sonic Research Tuner (Primarily used to plug guitar at pedal board vs running to Axe)
4 switches currently used to control scenes
Mission Control Expression Pedal for Wah (Spring Loaded)
Boss FV500 Expression Pedal – Delay Mix
Boss FV500 Expression Pedal – Volume
Roland EV5 Expression Pedal - Misc
I would love to understand what changes and approach you might consider. (Eliminate this, add that, use this for that, combine this, etc). Understanding how someone with your experience and expertise would open my mind to consider options I would likely have never considered.
The sound I hear in my head might be described as Bonamassa meets Page meets Beck with a splash of Vai, Satch and Halen.
If you have time, this would be greatly appreciated.
