At church??? LOL!

It's easier to read on a dark stage.  Darn near impossible without it.

Make sure you use vinyl marking tape like electrical tape.  They sell it in hardware stores and I think I used the one inch wide stuff.  It peels right off with no residue too.  You just write on it with a permanent Sharpie marker.

Hi Stumpsout,

I also use a case I've bought with the German music cyberstore Thomann. It's actually a ROCKCASE-model, made by WARWICK. They make a whole series of quality bags and cases for musical instruments and equipment for a very decent price. My case is comparable with the one that Karl has. It's just a bit deeper and a bit less wide at the same time. The extra space at the backside of the X3L is used for the powersupply, cables and also the plug-adapter for the condensator-microphone-side of the stereo cable that connects my acoustic Guild to both the microphone and aux-inputs on my X3L.

(I have a piezo/condensator-mic dual system build in this guitar) The guitar input is used for the electric(s). I use a second (bit smaller) case for my Roland GR-20 and the 2nd LINE6 expression pedal. The GR20 is plugged into the X3L's effectsloop and is also connected through midi, in order to follow program changes from the X3L. A bit Robert Frippish, but I use it on occasions and it works like a dream!

Cheers,

Rohaya

Oh, by the way. That "platform" and also the shaped out bottom plate didn't come with the case originally! I made those myself. I've put Velcrotape on everything and sometimes use the "cable- and plug-protection board" at the back (with the chrome handles) to place some extra pedals on.

the foam around the X3L - did that come with the case or did you pick that up somewhere else?

It's those interlocking blocks that you put under exercise equipment.  You can buy it at Lowe's or Home Depot.

I'm curious about how high the POD sits as well. I guess Karl was trying to get the foot switches above the frame of the case???
