I'm curious who uses any sort of MIDI controlled rig, Programmable Looper (to provide presets) or any other bank/patch type system? I've been a pedalboard into amp guy forever, but I still am not well versed at the tap dancing routine.
75% of the songs I/we play are riding the volume control and maybe stepping on a boost for a solo or chorus, but the remainder I'm changing ~3 things to go from verse to chorus or breakdown to lead. (Verse may be light OD, Phaser and spacey delay, verse is distortion, no phaser and slapback or no delay)
My intimidation factor is that this seems awfully overkill for most of the time. For those using any style of bank/patch switching, are you basically "living" in BANK 1 with something like:
PATCH 1 - Clean
PATCH 2 - Rhythm 1
PATCH 3 - Rhythm 2
PATCH 4 - Lead
And then setting up other banks for when you need more elaborate switching? Does BANK 2 become Patches for Song ABC , BANK 3 become patches for Song XYZ, etc.?
Feel free to showcase your rig and how you use it here, I'm really curious how to straddle the line of wanting a little more than a basic pedalboard but not into the NASA racks of 80's/90's Gilmour.
