The Arizona State Sun Devils had Newton on their radar during his senior year at Jones High School. Ironically, Newton also told Sports Illustrated some two decades later he was mostly a recluse and homebody as a teenager. “I was terrible,” Newton admitted to Montville.

Line 6 also makes a smaller version called the Express FBV with 4 buttons and an expression pedal, but the build quality is far less than the shortboard. Plus, it has a lot more buttons than the Rig Kontrol. Not only can you do your looper like you'd want, but you can also assign any effect parameter to any button on the FBV. The build quality is stellar - I've had mine for about 3 years now and picked it up used for like $120. The expression pedal operates on two MIDI channels so you can have both volume and wah or wah and pitch or any comibnation. The Line 6 FBV Shortboard MKII is perfect for this application with a ton of options to set each button as either momentary or toggle or anything inbetween. Any of the Line 6 FBVs can operate as a MIDI controller, and I use one for this purpose.

Here are the "best" 2 i have, they're a bit rough and lifeless though. I forgot i did some sketches/demos on Guitar Rig for experimentation before going on to my stompboxes for the actual recording. And since i do looping for ambient background noises, Guitar Rig 5 is difficult for me since i don't own the dedicated Rig Kontrol pedalboard to control its looping function. But it can get noisy, buzzy, clicky, and all those artifacts associated with chain-ganging lots of pedals. Nowadays i use mostly my 2 pedalboards afixed with stompboxes direct into the interface, its easier and more straight forward to tweak knobs while recording. And later on when i got hooked (its much REAL than Pod Farm), i upgraded to the Guitar Rig 5 when it got real cheap with offers and discounts. After wanting more i decided to use the FREE Guitar Rig Player vst.
So i shelved my stompboxes in favour of vst efx. I only have a 2nd hand MacBook Pro, a Line 6 Studio GX interface (still have and still using it now!) and the Pod Farm efx vst - its flexible and noise-free. Ages ago when i got into laptop recording, i can't afford much gear.
