Very cool. But I never took you for the rack type...
Haha, well apart from 2008-2009, when I was running an Axe FX and a VHT 2502, that was kinda "rack".
Issue is that both the Cornford and the Steavens don't like so much pedals in the loop. Also rack effects have better headroom and sound more deep IMO. Especially if they're from the last century, when they still had limited processing and converter specs, so they focussed more on making them "sound" good, too.
