Subject: Re: Looper cencus
I just got interested in looping because my BOSS DD-5 delay
has a 2 second looper and is a big tease. But when I got interested in getting
a looper that works longer, the info is very confusing on what to buy and can
get expensive. I know alot of guitar players that are excellent and would
definitely loop, but the marketing of the subject is all wrong.
I just
bought the REPEATER knowing that it has been discontinued because of the good
reviews and the fact I can run a fairly small FS300 stage pedal to operate the
unit live.
I also bought it to lay down tracks so I can solo over and
get better.
I know that it can do so much more, but I suppose I will
learn through trial because I don't see a place where I can get alot of tips
and tricks information.
Guitar Looping seems to be kept a big secret
and that's why more guitarists arent into it.
If a company, say BOSS,
came out with a small easy to use, reasonably priced (say $100-$150 range)
stompbox looper that could give say 10-14 seconds of simple looping and went
into the guitar magazines with well thought out ads proclaiming.. "SOMETHING
NEW for all you guitarists out there" and maybe had some good sound files on
there web site and a few tips to get going .. the whole looping thing could
take off.
At least that's how I see it.
