Your setup was quite uncommon for us before you built in. Anyway, we are starting to plan some reworks/fixes/improvements among the Control Chain - the idea is to use the release of the Expression Pedal for this - so maybe your input will be really useful for us

So I got a new footswitch in, but haven’t set anything up yet.
This looks like it will be pretty useful. But, until I get some time to install it, I won’t know if it is worth the kickstarter price I paid.
This model is the Bridge 6 by PirateMidi

Well…the new strega was indeed a Christmas gift from my lovely wife lol
The MDX was paid for a while back but was waiting on stock.
The Bridge 6 was surprisingly only slightly delayed, due to covid travel restrictions, it was one poor guy soldering everything together in New Zealand by himself.
The rest of my gear is largely due to poor money management, lack of impulse control, and bad GAS lmao

this footswitch looks cool. Prehaps better than the Morningstars Mc8. I’'l look at that more attentively.
But it’s not in stocj before May 2022 
having 17 guitars and around 50 pedals I sort of know where you are coming from ; )
Nice to know its not just me with this afflication

I feel that so hard lol
I need to grow more arms so I can play everything
I’ve luckily adopted a gear in, gear out policy. I generally will only buy something new with the proceeds from selling gear.
Unfortunately I haven’t been selling anything I news to sell, but new gear magically keeps appearing on my doorstep somehow.
If anyone asks, I won a contest lol

My Mod duo save me from GAS.
I accumulated many pedals , I couldn’t put them on my pedalbord.
When I had my Mod duo I sold everything and now my pedalboard is stable.

Nice. Mine is stuck somewhere at customs and should arrive soon, I am planning to use the same with Dwarf.

Hopefully it arrives soon!
I almost didn’t back it originally, but I am glad I did, im.sure it’ll be useful with building complex pedalboards
Please share some videos with us

I know you are tired of hearing the “Dwarf ETA curiosity song” again and again, I am trying hard not to sing it in front of you, but now it just obtrusively appeared in my head and stuck there again…
Once I finally meet my Dwarf, than I will surely ask, if he doesn’t mind some videotaping with Pirate MIDI Bridge

Well I will do my best.
Unfortunately, work has me tied up for several more weeks. Eventually I’ll get some quality time to sit down and actually make something haha
I’ve had this bridge 6 for like a week and all I’ve been able to do is pull it out of the box and set it on my desk

You’re me hero, Elk.
I can do the former quite well, but not so much of the latter… Please enlighten me!

Well my secret has been to just make a small set up with select pieces of gear.
Turns out I generally can make a decent amount of stuff with a few pieces of kit, and the pile of stuff I thought I wanted/needed originally has been boxed up and hasn’t really been touched.
So anything that doesn’t get touched for more than a month or two will get sold.
This time I’m going to be smart and sample everything before I sell it off haha

GIGO. Gear in, gear out. When I’m not too lazy I try to do that, reluctantly. Same with stereo - the best I can afford - barely enough to keep me out of the ‘big box’ stores, but enough to get me into the ‘audiophile’ door. Not ‘audiophool’ yet - no cryo treated tubes or fuses - have no intentions of ever going down that road!
Good sound is the ultimate goal!

Most of my rig is in the case for now and has been for quite a while. Been playing almost exclusively acoustic. Got my main amp sitting on the end of the (8x4) desk and a small board with my wireless receiver, power supply and tuner under the desk, but I use them sparingly. My main electric is right behind me on a stand, but the acoustics get almost all the work for now.
When I get the Dwarf and the expression pedal i’m going full gonzo on it.

You’ll have a blast with the dwarf for sure!
Lots of possibilities for pretty much anything you can think of.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you create!
