Bachus it's not the weight so much but the in & out all day long setting up for us gigging players......
you need light efficient gear to perform and run off to another job less is more in this game...heck I don't even use pedals on gigs anymore just more junk to carry ...hookup....etc,
KB/Mic/LT,PA Fingers, is all I need ..


if that wasn't the case I would have a totally other setup for studio use etc, including keyboard also. & use pedals also..
