Looper's Delight

Well, today I got my Boomerang in the mail. I won it on E-bay, with the shipping and gig bag, the whole package cost me $399! As far as looping concerned, this thing totally buries my DL-4. Obviously, the loop time is longer, and in what I've done with it so far, I've yet to have the loop end before I was done putting my initial idea that I want to start with. Also, when you go into reverse mode, there's no glitch, like on the DL-4, ah the luxury of not having the direction button share it's function with something else. :-) I'm still using the DL-4 for delay effects, though. I feel the DL-4's tape and analog delay models are way better than the delay that's available in the loop/sampler mode, which is another bonus of having a seperate looping device. I'm still working with it, I haven't played around with the alternate sampling rates or anythign like that, I've just used it as it is straight out of the box. I had to play with the level controls a bit to get a good sounding signal, but that's about it. Until I get the cash together to get more loopers, the Boomerang's gonna be my main looping device. I may continue to use the DL-4 for running two loops simutaneously, but in my initial experiments, the way I have everything set up (I have everything running in one signal path straight into my amp), it seems difficult to keep the live guitar plus two loops balanced so nothing's overwhelming anything else. Once I get a a mixer and a cuople more loopers, I think that kind of thing will be a little easier to do properly. For now, though, I'm quite happy with the Boomerang. ===== May you never thirst!
