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.
