Ingrid,

I am curious as to what electronics you are using on stage.

I'm using the line 6 delay and wah as well as the holy grail reverb unit and a volume pedal. I love the toys (in moderation), especially the loop on the delay modeler. I'm still new to all of it and want to figure out how to get things streamlined into a laptop or something more compact and light to carry.The stuff gets heavy on the road.
I use an audio technica clip-on mic to channel the effects so that I can keep things separate from my dry mic-usually an AKG 414 or a TLM 170. I really avoided the electronic zone for a long time because I was worried about falling into the trap of not 'playing the horn to it's fullest' and thus relying on the effects to sound good. I am still convinced that the more control from intensive chop development (a fancy way of saying practice!) I get,the more the inflections and expressions can be enhanced by the electronics. I have also had alot of fun looping things and improvising off of my own ideas- why not?

Ingrid,

It's been awhile since you commented on this. Any new developments?

ha! what a way to get my butt back on here.
Am in the midst of packing my toys as we meet all~
A gig tomorrow with Brian Lynch at the Renfrew jazz festival in Wayneboro...
Things I learned this summer.
1. Always use the power supply that Boss says to use and do NOT confuse it with other power supplies.
2. The Boss reverb pedal is much warmer that the Holy Grail.
3. NEVER put a glass of wine in front of your volume pedal. It works like a perfect fulcrum (never thought I'd use that word again past math 10!) when the wine glass catches the edge of the pedal on the way down.
:) Don't ask what damage that did.

gotta get my horn on my face.
Back from the road for awhile now after sunday. Ij

I love the Line Six Delay. I bought one aftering seeing Bill Frisell (guitarist) using two them while running his guitar through 2 fender twin reverb amps. He is the master with the loops.

Cuong Vu does some interesting things with effects, but I am not sure of his set up.
