You people were funny at first but now your guffaws of snobbery and elitist technocratic behaviour are really starting to take their toll...I mean what are "we" about here....does it have anything to do with making music? I am starting to wonder...I guess it has become unfashionable among the "Technocrati" to loop with a BOSS pedal...hmmmmm looping is just a means to an end!...or is it just a means to an end in itself?..if that is the case then you can just go on and loop yourselves into a frenzy until you become dizzy with your own self indulgent misery...I mean really!...This loop competition is a good thing...why not? Take it or leave it....so what if BOSS is sponsoring it?....they make very inexpensive loopers, so why shouldn't they have a boss loop competition festival? IF you want to be such a rebel then bring your looperlative or your echoplex to the competition....that is if they even decide to invite you. As far as I can tell there isn't too much of a general difference between most loopers....except for this quasi-mystical time stretching function that some of the more expensive ones have...and some finer details that may or may not make a difference depending on your set-up... Not everyone can afford these more expensive "better" models. Hell, yes I wish I could buy myself a LOOPERLATIVE right now....but I can't, so I'll have to stick with my dinky little RC-50 toy until then... The BOSS pedals are great pedals for players at all levels.... Also, if you don't like the drum loops on the Boss pedal, you can actually replace them with your own sounds etc... So in summary...I would appreciate if people were not so quick to jump on the slander bandwagon and start spreading more love and less of this cynical technocratic talk please...music is supposed to move people and that can be done with the tapping of a stick on wood....and does not require the higher echelons of technology to do it.... check your head. ;-) Akim --- On Sun, 8/2/09, L.Angulo <labaloops@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: L.Angulo <labaloops@yahoo.com> > Subject: Re: Boss looper contest in Germany > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Date: Sunday, August 2, 2009, 2:44 AM > > this is hilarious!;-))) > i bet soon this is is going to be on TV like the famous > "Deutschland sucht den superstar" > (translation- Germany looks for the superstar) > somehow Boss loopers have offcially become "the corporate > loopers" > the come with those Huey Lewis and the news integrated drum > patterns;-) > > > www.myspace.com/luisangulocom > > > --- Teddy Kumpel <teddybut@mac.com> > schrieb am Fr, 31.7.2009: > > > Von: Teddy Kumpel <teddybut@mac.com> > > Betreff: Re: Boss looper contest in Germany > > An: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > > Datum: Freitag, 31.
