So I've been back to playing now that I'm out of the cast. One of the things I did recently was set up a Lehle 1 at 3 switch box that lets me send the signal to 3 amps. I have it set up to simply switch between them (there are other options as well, such as having various combinations on/off).
So, as with a pedal, one stomp and I'm connected to a different amp. Now the reason I did this was to make sessions go faster for ad projects. But I haven't been busy with ad work since my surgery, so lately what I've been doing is just switching between the damned amps like a kid switching between pedals - simply to have fun with different tones.
And I gotta say, even though it's fun, when I'm not recording, or performing, it's making me feel pretty silly to just sit around and change amps while practicing. But I can't stop! Gaaaahhhh!
Today I was literally tap dancing between amps just enjoying myself and probably driving my wife and the neighbors completely insane. There's no reason to do this just to practice and exercise my hand and brain.
And yet...
All I can say is that it's a good thing I don't have more amps and pedals to work with, because I'm pretty sure I'd never get out of the studio even for five minutes of sleep, eating, or exercise.
One thing I regularly do with my music software is cull out the effects I'm not regularly finding useful, same with synths. I used to do this with my hardware, too, back in the hardware days.
But amps? I can't stop. Tap, tap, tap, tap....it's a VERY good thing I'm not into modelers.
