What guitar essentials do you take when you travel?

Not guitar-related. But definitely my Aeropress and grinder. Ain’t nobody got time for mediocre coffee while on the road.

I have a Positive Grid Spark Go, for Really light travel practice. otherwise I would grab my 5 watt tube amp. ( after the Mods, I will clock the one meter db ... I am guessing it hits about 110db at 1 meter ... feedback on tap at that distance ) I set my guitar on the couch, for a break, 1.7 meters from the amp, and it actually took off.

Leo, why you're using UA audio interface? Why not only FM3? FM3 it acts as audio interface? What's the issue with using FM3 as audio interface?

@@LeonTodd I’m wondering, what is the benefit of going through the Apollo when you could use the FM3 as your audio interface??

My not home studio is for van camping. Bashed up parts-caster, RC505 Looper and a few mini pedals in an old Get Smart looking brief case and a Portable JBL Bluetooth which givers me power via USB and does a surprisingly good job. And headphones 👍👍

But did you bring the cone of silence?

So much you can do... I'm using my FM9 on its own with my computer, using it live as a backup and using it live (primarily) for effects and midi control of my JP2C. Such an amazing array of devices Fractal makes.

iPad with JamUp, iRig connector, headphones and what ever guitar I’m feeling at the time, small easy portable 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼

Tasty!

iPad Air with Logic Pro, HX Stomp as amp and audio interface, Steinberger headless with Seymour Duncans, Native Instruments M32 keyboard, Beyer Dynamic headphones. Super portable, I can fit all of that in a small gig bag. I bring a Yamaha THR5 if I need a bit of volume.

Not so long ago I used to take a guitar, iPad/iphone with GarageBand and positive grid apps, an old Alesis dock station + phones. Now I’m using a HXstomp, OTG adapter to plug Hx to my iPhone and about the same sort of apps. Headphones are the same ATH M50X. Very compact

Theragun is LEGIT. Love those things.

Dude! Lifesaver

can you play 'bleed' with the theragun through the FM3 ? 🤘 can totally relate to that shoulder stuff, i feel that there should be a term for 'guitarist's shoulder' 😄 , what a thoughtful gift an 'onlyLeon' site would be sick otherwise, hair care, massage, sauna tips and the like , i can see that working glad to see you doing well over there

Not gonna lie, I immediately tried that after reading this :p

I don’t perform, I just play for myself. If I did perform out, my FM3 and Strandberg 8 (my only guitar) are all I could imagine needing. Just plug into the PA and go. I’d like to get an EV2 and maybe some day I’ll end up with an OMG9 setup, but Patzags „FM3 Only“ layouts are so good on their own.

What struck me was that in that compact setup you have more guitar tone generating and overall recording capability than professional studios of even 20 or 10 years ago. Minus the legions of mics and amp heads and cabs of course. Mind boggling to an older guy like me, but I'm glad to see you've got it. Bound to keep the stank face active.

Hi Leo, I was looking at your mobile studio. You're doing great. When I go somewhere, I don't take my guitar. Then I get bored there. But I would probably take electroacoustics and Positive grid mini on the trip. A pretty good combination too. Otherwise, another great video of yours. Have a good time and keep playing well.

Still tweaking my travel setup, but right now it's my 1990 Strat with a Waza Air wireless headphone amp. But something like what you have is a goal. I recently picked up a Friedman IR-X, so I may incorporate that into some type of portable, quiet system.

Waza Air makes it ridiculously simple hey!

Got the same Amazon S/PDIF to Toslink adaptor. Works great!

what is the benefit of using the audio interface in addition to the FM3, vs just using the FM3 as the interface?

The Apollo has mic preamps that I need to record my vocal mic and it makes using LUNA a lot easier
