I know about Liquid Foot as well but Tom has sent me advance pictures of their new foot controller coming out in a few months and it's made by-you guessed it- Liquid Foot! <br />I'm playing my Ultra through the Bose L1's <br />just as you are and it does sound incredible.<br />cheers, <br />adrianadrian belewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704211229457488730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-8190381751773137222010-02-01T11:50:52.964-06:002010-02-01T11:50:52.964-06:00I forgot to mention that I use my Axe-FX Ultra thr...I forgot to mention that I use my Axe-FX Ultra through my Bose L1 and it sounds amazing!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Dave Hoskins<br />dave@davehoskins.netDave Hoskinshttp://www.reverbnation.com/c./rpk/31205?access_code=03d6c2b8f10dfc584decnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-32723982294013196772010-02-01T11:47:25.098-06:002010-02-01T11:47:25.098-06:00Hey Adrian,

Several pros, including Dweezil, are currently relying on it for tour work. I run mine with a MIDI controller called Liquid-Foot Jr. (very small and extremely flexible) and a couple expression pedals. It's easy to assemble a carry-on rig that will blow your expectations (and Guitar Rig) out of the water. You can surf over to http://www.fractalaudio.com/index.html and also poke around in the user forum at http://www.fractalaudio.com/forum/ and check out how pros like Larry Mitchell are traveling with the Axe-FX as a carry-on. I think you'll find it hard to resist at least giving it a try. Hey, and let me know if this ends up being your solution. I'd love to know what you do. And, BTW, I'm just an Axe-FX owner, not compensated in any way to recommend the products.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Dave Hoskins<br />dave@davehoskins.netDave Hoskinshttp://www.reverbnation.com/c./rpk/31205?access_code=03d6c2b8f10dfc584decnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-20427432896778646272010-01-20T16:03:50.148-06:002010-01-20T16:03:50.148-06:00Hey Adrian, when you do find out how to do that , ...Hey Adrian, when you do find out how to do that , please tell us about it...André Sachshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03495424324183175178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-56754882780743587612010-01-14T13:22:26.607-06:002010-01-14T13:22:26.607-06:00I am a cameral,classic musician,not play a up-to-d...I am a cameral,classic musician,not play a up-to-date guy.There is quite another matter.I'm a starter,hard work under the supervision of truly great masters,I'm self-conscious and intimidated as before,but I can distinguish one "sound" from another "sound" and I know which is absolutely important and which is less essential.<br />Furthermore I am sure you can play "everything".I will be blissful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7033179740960720113.post-68258407882813758862010-01-14T10:15:46.331-06:002010-01-14T10:15:46.331-06:00Just don't forget to bring a backup laptop and...Just don't forget to bring a backup laptop and a backup hard drive while on tour! I was at the Boulder show a couple of years ago when the massive rig went bad. It was a bit painful for all involved (I imagine you more than the rest of us).
