Yes! Check out that message count! Another landmark event on this list, that once again points out... well... a lot of things... but primarily the fact that loopers love to talk about themselves!! :) Me too, I'll bite. Loopers: (2) Gibson Echoplex Digital Pros Ableton Live For more traditional delay lines, I use: TC Electronics G-Major (always) Boss/Roland GT-6 (sometimes) And just because I'm joining in the "tell us about yourself" spirit of this thread: Amps: (I've been changing between these on and off for over a year, based on what I was trying to do) a Rivera Knucklehead 100 w/ matching 4x12 a Gibson Goldtone GA30-RVS or the GT-6 into 1 or 2 Roland JC-120's Guitars Fender Deluxe Nashville Power Tele (that's a mouthful!) Fernandes Retrorocket Pro (w/ Sustainer) Fender MIM Stratocaster (my current craving, wishlist, consideration-kinda-thing: an 8 string Warr Guitar and the practice time to learn to play it!) Control: Behringer FCB-1010 Footcontroller Mixing: Event EZ-Bus Mixer (I bring my guitar preamp signal in, and send to the EDPs, the G-Major, Ableton Live, and other manglers I have laying around, and send the main outs to the poweramp. Sounds complicated, but it's very simple, and I can take any device in/out of the mix, in various orders, using EZBus presets) Computer: Mini-ITX system (it's on the way here, anyway!) w/ Audiophile 2496 Carriage: 4-space shallow rack Giant duffel bag that can carry the rack, GT6, FCB1010, and EZBus! Pretty heavy mofo, but I can carry it! Based on all of this possible crap, I have a few configurations for looping. I always bring the guitar preamp into the EZBus, and keep the EDPs, GMajor and MiniITX (if used) on the sends. I always use the FCB1010 to control the EDPs, GMajor, EZBus and Ableton Live. So, basically, my mixer, w/ all of it's loopadelic friends, sits in the traditional "fxloop" of which ever guitar amp I'm using. Small, flexible, good for almost everything, but no tubes: GT6 into EZBus w/ goodies into 1 JC120 (add the 2nd JC120 for head spinning craziness that's hardly worth lugging the 2nd amp) Big, loud, heavy, but incredible guitar tone from tubes: Rivera fxloop into EZBus w/ goodies back into Rivera poweramp thru the 4x12 Medium sized, still great tube tone, same stuff to carry as small rig but much heavier amp: Gibson Goldtone fxloop into EZBus w/ goodies back into Gibson poweramp and 2x12 Add to any of these the MiniITX box... Who's tallying the looper data? I think it would be great to compile in the same format as in David's post (the 1997 survey) and see the changes. That's it, I'll shutupnow. Doug
