Regarding the Fret FX, I love 'em. Definitely get the dimmer switch option, it's only 10 more bucks. Also, you may want to reinforce the adhesive on the battery pack with some tape or something, especially if you jump around a bit on stage, as the pack can come off and would probably break the connection.
Look's like a great tour; demanding schedule. Hope to see some NYC dates...
