The CS80 is a virtual safety net live....I have hords of midi gakk that
have gone down(power) and reset to some god knows Setting....usually the
whole chain gets affected when a master controller powers off or
freezes.....If a CS80 goes off and back on, there are the indications
with string 1 and 2 lit up.....I have only once had a problem with a
CS80 live back in 1984.....one of the fuses went when an amp(brittish
tube type) sent voltage up the output rail....easily fixed between
sets.....(The amp never made it on the truck to the next city )
For live with "Fist"...,My CS80 goes into a Panning/volume Pedale....
Heel down goes to a Mono DI and toe down goes to a preamp mixer and then
off to my 5150 powered leslie......It has out lived my arpaxxe, my
jx3p,jx8p sh1000, D-50 and countless amps and speakers and has appeared
on every album of ours ... Hot Spikes in 1980.Thunder in Rock 1981...In
the Red 1983, Danger Zone 85..In your face 1990 ....Reign of Terror
1992.....Loud Loud LOUD, 95....Fleet Street Revival 2001....Bolted Door
2006.......................
