Re: Recommendations for a new loop pedal...

[Luis Angulo <louie.angulo@yahoo.com>]

hardware choices which i think will do what you want:

The Digitech Jamman stereo will do that,you can store backing tracks,your own loops etc.and there is a software called jammanager to make workflow easy

it has,reverse,undo/redo and something like 99 slots to store wqhich you can easily scroll through,i have it and  thats plus its size is what was attractive for me

The new RC-300 is very good though,you can also store loops or back.tracks and it has 3 independent tracks which you can be of any length, stop and start independently undo,redo,reverse and pre or post fx

you can also use it in "next track mode" to change between arrangments parts like with the echoplex "next loop" function

and offcourse mic input,instr input,main outs and sub outs for monitor mix plus ann assignable exp pedal for independent volume control,fx etx. is big for a pedalboard though!

cheers

Subject: Recommendations for a new loop pedal...

Hi there -

I've used an Akai Headrush E2 for a couple of years for basic looping, but I'm looking to change my live set in ways that the Akai can't support...
I've pored over all of the specs of the various pedals out there and my head is spinning. 
Would anyone be willing to give their suggestion for what would be best for the following:

- I'm a singer/songwriter who primarily uses an acoustic guitar.
- My biggest need: I want to be able to create drum loops prior to my shows to use as backup, so I want to be able to access different pre-recorded loops easily (sometimes 2 or 3 different loops within a song) and turn each one on and off easily.  I will also be doing some on-the-fly vocal looping that I will need to be able to store and turn on and off as well.  Optimally, I want to do all of this using just foot switches.

I was looking at the Digitech Jamman Stereo or the Delay, but I don't know if either one will absolutely do what I need, or if there is one that is better suited for that?
If not, I am also open to getting an Ipad and going the software route, or setting up my Macbook Pro as well...

Thanks so much for any suggestions anyone has for me!
