Re: How to handle multiple loopers

[Phaedebk@aol.com]

Robert,

    Totally matters upon what you are trying to do with the Loopers in 
question...  Really liked what Gary Lucas (of Capt. Beefheart) did with 
several tape echoplexi, wherein he would create a drone or three on one, 
some 
form of rhythmic effect on the second and then a chord progression on the 
third, or would give a second rhythm or drone.  Then again, he was 
typically 
doing this as a one man band, and he was using a rather extensive set of 
switch boxes, roughly 5 if my memory serves, along with a pair of volume 
pedals, a distortion pedal, and then there was a small rack which he would 
fiddle with from time to time...  
    This is what really got me hooked on Looping devices, along with 
seeing 
Andy Summers playing a Roland GR-707 and ridiculous effects by himself on 
stage...

    Been using a Boomerang and a Zoom 2100 with Expression pedal and been 
really happy thus far, though I'd honestly like to give a DL-4 and/or the 
Echoplex a shot with my current setup.

    Tchus,

        Lee-ohki.

a 
great disc.
