Nice history to know, Stephen, but this
thread, however, is about what you did BEFORE you were looping,
not the beginnings of your looping.

A tough one this. My first looping experiments were done
using a cassette that I’d spliced together, feeding the output
into another tape deck, in 1981.. Very noisy but still! Same
year, I cruised garage sales and bought two reel-to-reel decks,
and did some recording of that, still very noisy. I tried using
some bucket method chips from Radio Shack to make a looping
device, but it turned out to be more of a delay-reverb. After
that I coughed up the money for an Ibanez delay that had (gasp)
up to 1000ms delay, but what I wanted of course was
Frippertronics with at least 4 seconds.
After that I experimented with repeated sequences on an
SH-101, which I had to sell to make rent in ‘87. And in 1992 I
bought my first DigiTech 7.6 Time Machine. THAT was recordable,
and not very noisy. ![Smile]()
