Ok, I am looking at something that seems really cool. Line6 has just come out with a new line of effects pedals that are unlike anything you have ever seen before. These new pedals allow you to easily pluck the guts of the pedal out of the stompbox and replace it with different guts. What does this mean? Well, it means that you can easily switch an effects pedal from being a distortion pedal to a digital delay just by swapping out the brain. WHAT UP? That is pretty cool.

I will have to think about it further, but right now it sounds like really cool functionality, but with very little real world use. I mean, it is rare that I look at my pedal board and wish I could … as I am typing this I am already rethinking this. There are times that I wish that I had different overdrives, or what if you could change the order of the pedal… that would be cool.

I guess there is a place for these… I KNOW! You could have one or two of these tone cores in you pedal board run, and you that are reserved for those effects that you only need in certain situations. Maybe it is that sCrEaMiNg distortion that is only useful for that one thing… whatever… you could switch that out with something more useful for all the other times you play.
