Hi Tylor, That might work well if you only play your instrument with one hand, but I suspect you'll want some foot control to start and stop loops at least, so you start and stop in time. But you can also use a table top controller of some sort, possibly even some midi control buttons on a midi musical keyboard. Plus, if you were to use a controll surface such as the behringer fader control fcb2000? is it? Then you could probbly fade loops in and out and stuff. Controlling something with your feet isn't bad. I take my shoes off usually so I can feel the buttons better. Just some thoughts. I'm in the market for a new looping option. Trying to decide if I want a boomerang or a computer and pedals. Just rangling a computer on stage doesn't sound like much fun. Rusty Have fun!
