For what it's worth, The Echoplex Digital Pro is great for this kind of "looping". In this case, you'd lay down the drums on Loop 1, then switch to Loop 2 and overdub the A riff on top of the drums. At that point, Loop 1 is just the drums, Loop 2 is the drums plus the A riff. You can then use Next Loop to switch between them. The EDP is quite a step up from the RC20, both cost-wise and feature wise. The EDP is also rack mounted. I highly recommend it!! :) Doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Sanders" <paul_sanders@adelphia.net> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Friday, July 04, 2003 8:46 AM Subject: Newbie question... > Hello all, > > My first post on this list. > > I've recently become a looper in the context of my solo acoustic gig. > > I'm using the Boss RC-20 loop station which is giving me *most* of what, but > I'm trying to accomplish one other thing, and I'm having trouble finding >a > piece of gear that will do it. > > I want to be able to have 2 seperate loops, sync'd together in tempo, but > such that one can be stopped and started while the other plays on. > > Here's an example: > > I play "Lay Down Sally" by Eric Clapton.
