This is another of those first posts from a looper who is very pleased to 
have 
found this list. Hopefully, I'll be able to add some useful info.

So, here comes the "this is what he does" part of the post:

I've been fascinated with the work of Fripp and Eno since the late 
seventies 
(much to the annoyance of some friends). My first looping experiments were 
with a SE-50 which gave me about a second or so of delay. These first 
attempts 
were, by their nature very rhythmic and simple, but I learned a lot. 
Approx. 
three years ago or so, I broke down and bought a jamman, which I have 
since 
upgraded to 32 second loops. I feed heavily processed chapman stick and 
synth 
sounds into the loops and I have been very pleased with the results. A 
couple 
of months ago, I purchased a H3000-d/sx (hi Jonathan), which I am trying 
to 
get the sample upgrade added to. At the moment, I use the h3000 to further 
mangle the sounds before feeding them into the jamman. 

I play a chapman stick (10 string) to which I have added a gk2a pickup 
driving 
a gr09. The melody end of the stick is fed through an art sgx2000 express. 
The 
bass end if fed through a vortex. My mixer then feeds these sounds through 
the 
h3000, and the results are fed into the jamman. I am fairly pleased with 
this 
setup, and have used it to create solo loops, and as underlying textures 
with 
other musicians.

so, there you have it. thanks for reading.
