I hope others respond to this thread, because I am really into seeing
what you guys are up to... in addition I am very interested in answers
to the question above.

So here is my gear, although my groovy new Zvex Seek Wah is not
pictured.

Though I still feel like a neophyte looper, I can get some cool 
sounds going with my gear.  I still have difficulty transitioning 
between loops and parts and stuff.  Usually I get something going, 
play over it for about 2 hours and then hit the stop button... 
start somthing else and repeat.  Some of this I can blame on the
Headrush, which
doesnt allow the feedback to decay with you hit the stop button. As a
solution 
I'll use my Vortex to make small loops from the Headrush output, 
then things arent so abrupt when stop is hit. However, I would prefer to 
have better control of feedback on the Headrush itself.

There is a sound file on the above link which is my FIRST recording of
any looping efforts, and it was done with the gear pictured... 
it is 2 tracks of loopy guitar and a third overdubbed bass part.
This was done with the Headrush in Tape-delay mode rather
than Looper mode, and the Vortex was set to one of Andy Butlers cool
loop patches.

Great fun, I hope to get better at it.

Later,
