new age sludge (was: Boss DD-20-Frome a newbie)

 The Loop IV software for the EDP enables you to use a control pedal to add
volume swell type bits of your performance to a loop without affecting the
main volume--using the "in" setting, the pedal controls the input volume.
Nice! Also good for multiplying without adding new content.  Gotta remember
to put it back up if you want to add new stuff tho.
Just a reminder that altho it might cost more than some of the other loop
tools available, the Echoplex Digital Pro is still the one that lets you do
more of what you want--the RC-10 is great, but ridiculous in its
simplicity--even more than the 'rang.

  HI Mike

I think that ind of new age sludge you are looking for could be created by
turning the volume control of your guitar all the way off, then playing the
note you want to drop into the loop, just before turning the volume back up
in a smooth motion, this way there is no attack to the notes so they sound
more synthy, try playing into your pedal, the root note, hold it till you
hear it coming back at you in the loop, then add the octave of this note 
but
only hold it for a short time, (the appearence f this note as it  loops 
will
give you an idea of the timeing that you are playing to, then begin 
dropping
in harmonics 5ths 7ths , what ever your mind fancys, then close the loop 
and
begin soloing!!!!!

good luck dude,
let us all know how your getting on, and welcome to this crayzee world of
looping, your time and money will never be the same again!!
