The road Rig

This answers the "So which gear are you taking out for an acoustic tour?" question. Guitar-wise I've got my trusty Taylor 314CE steel string, and I borrowed a friend's Takamine EAN40C steel string for alternate tunings and as a backup.
On the pedalboard I've got my L.R. Baggs preamp/direct box (makes ay acoustic sound rad), tuner, volume pedal, Boss Phase Shifter, Keely Boost, Line 6 Delay Modeler, and last but not least, Boss Loop Station. We'll see how much use some of these pedals get, but they've been cool in rehearsals so far. Can't forget extra: batteries, strings, and cables (or you'll be sorry!). We're also bringing a small PA, mics and stands for the one or two venues that have less than perfect sound systems. 
Sure you could get away with a single guitar and a cable, but what's the challenge in that...?
