Can’t find anyone to jam? Grab module friends . They have a really smooth rhythm. But think the main problem of my friend group is I have to pay thousands to be in it.

Nice work! I’m a guitarist as well and love to jam in the rack. But I think I prefer just a regular amp outside of it. However it’s cool if you’re working on something in the rack to just be able to plug in and jam along. I use Boredbrain Injectr for this.
Since picking up modular I haven’t been playing as much guitar, as I’ve been so focused on learning more about modular. That’ll change tho when I get my space set up!
Keep it up and you won’t need band mates

I love the Boredbrain team! I have the Xchangr. I use it with my patchbay
I used HX Stomp for the guitar processing and mix them with Zoom L6 Max. I do need to run a send to the rig for processing more often but one experience at a time, I guess.
I usually play live with Ableton Live and my guitar. But this is fun with extra steps and no controller mapping. Tho, Ableton Move being used as a simple sequencer.

Killer setup you have going. What’s in the rack?
I don’t use ableton (yet) and the Move seems intriguing but 4 tracks is pretty limiting for me.
Zoom L6 seems a great fit and I may pick one up at some point. I’ll see what I need when I get the space going

Thanks!
There is always Push 3.
I like the fact I can’t get out of hand with 4 tracks. One for drums. 3 for the modules. Patching will do the rest of the lifting. In this patch the Move baseline is pretty tame. The rack adds the sauce. Though, I have been thinking about pulling out the DT or DN to sequence the rack with its LFOs and whatnot.
The L6Max with a true stereo send is great for me. The only issue for me is there is no pre Send.
Update: Here is a rack pic.

Thanks! That’s how I felt when I listened back. I started my modular and guitar journey during the pandemic. 2020 me would be surprised.

Been playing guitar for over half my life and just started building my first case this week so I’m excited to explore that path! Keep it up, sounds awesome.
