    i went with a roland EV-5. it'll work for now.

    also, super cool on the X3, you can blend between two tones by setting the volume pedal in reverse for one tone. ie. heel down, clean fender, toe down, dirty marshall or something. a la mike's old set-up.

    also, had to take the first X3 live back, the panel LEDs would start to cut out once the unit warmed up, not a good sign for future reliability (it's happened quite a bit from what i've read on L6 forums). we'll see how the second one does.

    It wouldn't be so bad if you could put a passive volume out front, and have the on-board expression pedal switch from Wah to Tweak. You'd have to add another footswitch somewhere for either Toggle or Bypass function.

    I just downloaded someone's RATM patch on L6 Edit, and changed the Stomp to the Bender, then assigned the exp pedal to that function.

    I haven't had a lot of time to play around with it, though, since I've been stuck at the hospital for three days...
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    yeah, wah to tweak would be great. the EV-5 has a variable minimum setting which is handy.

    i've been getting tones from L6 as well. found a pretty good jeff buckley clean tone and a nice gilmour lead tone so far.

    i didn't get into that a lot with my old pod but this floorboard has me digging deeper.

    three days. ouch. complications or just healing time for mom?

    probably don't want to hear how my daughter was fired out as from a cannon within a couple hours at home in the tub, hey?

    my first was much longer and my wife was, while at home, still laid up for a good few days.

    Mom is pretty beat up... but coming along nicely. She'll need a few weeks of taking it REALLY easy before she gets back to normal. Baby has us a little worried, though... she keeps spitting up. We'll see how things go. We may have a long weekend, whether we stay or go home.

    well, take care of them as best you can. get whatever rest you can when they are.

    i was very fortunate as things went relatively smoothly for us. all i had to do was stand there and look pale the first time. the second time i was a little more animated but no more useful really.
