Lets see those looping rigs

[TaySte_2000]

I want to see what you guys are rocking when playing all on your lonesome

I'm seriously thinking of adding a dedicated looper to my board.

Here's an older picture, i came to my senses and moved the DL4 to the front and footswitch to the back which makes recording/playback easier. My favorite part of the DL4 is the play once. Plus I added a catalinbread serrano picoso to help equalize the volumes of my loops. I really only do looping in a band setting, but I'd like to get a second looper (probably an RC2 or RC20) so I can do more solo type stuff.

I must search through the archives for photos and scan them...

The arc of my looping phase went like this:
First, RC20; then, DL4; finally, Echo Pro.

I don't have a picture but it goes just-a-something like this....

Subdecay Quasar>Boss BF-3>Electro-Harmonix 2880 (and foot controller)>Yorkville Studio Monitor (Normal amps suck... right guys???...)

Mine is pretty much just this with an RC20-XL added to the end of the chain (After the SMMH)



The Assmaster swaps places with a Bluebeard now and then too.

What do you prefer of the RC-20XL over the SMM/H for looping?

[KarateKid25]

I've just owned my RC20-XL for a whole lot longer and feel more familiar with it I guess. Even after owning the Memory Man for a while, it still feels a bit foreign to me. For some reason, its just a natural thing for me to grab my RC20-XL when im keen to mess around with some looping.

You can sort-of see, and better yet hear, mine here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCHCxmgf5mU

RC-20xl, Weeping Demon, BOSS PS-5. I'll also often add a delay, fuzz, synth pedal, and tone-generator gizmo.

Been throwing it into jams with my covers trio lately, and also experimenting with micing the drums into the looper then looping the beat while the drummer hops on congas while I layer stuff on the loops.

Mine here - new, just did my first gig with it this weekend. Worked nicely.
Second DL4 (borrowed from a friend) is there for dedicated delay effects.

I have the SMMH, but would really like to be able to store a few loops and turn them on/off individually, which the Boss/Digitech loopers can do. I'm after a Baritone guitar (octave down E to E) so I can play bass lines and loop trippy delayed guitar arpeggios over the top using the same instrument!

well..I have a couple of different looping rigs (since I use loops extensively..)...I'll try to take some pics nd post them, but my schedule as it is it may be a few days.... first, the simplest is my fav: a Zvex Lo-Fi Junky Loop. I have two of these, and often use them in tandem...but one ALWAYS comes with me to any gig I do...just in case. Tho touted as noisy and lofi, with careful setting it has the warmest and most muical of tones of any of my loopers. It does have some pretty "severe" limiations, but I find those (like having a short loop time..something most my loopers have) to be both challenging and liberating; making me work more with the music rather than the pedal....Next would be a Line 6 DL4. I don't really use this...as opposed to the ZVEX, it has a very digital tone, and creates some rather annoying artifacts coupled with piezo pickups. In short I have been underwhelmed with this pedal since I got it.....it is portable, and makes a nice doorstop.....Next...Original Lexicon JamMan. Love this one! Has a custom chip from the device's developer, Bob Sellon, which allows for for stereo looping, mulitple parallel and series loops, indiv. or global loop fades in and outs, advanced midi mapping, advanced replace and copy techniques, toggling between loop and delay modes, reverse looping...lotsa cool stuff. and is simply the best looper I have found for Bass looping. Have had this one for something like 13 yrs now and it still holds up. Next...Gibson Echoplex EDP. Wonderful machine and full of options...but the converters simply do not sound all that good with bass. It stays in the studio where it is matched to software loopers like Mobius and Live. Finally, Akai Headrush E2. I really like this pedal. Sounds good; replace function is usable.... and as a bonus the tape dealy section is very cool (much better than the Line 6s emulation/modeling). it sits on my pedal board with a ZVEX Lo-Fi as my "go-to" loop setup. I have also used the RC20xl, which I simply did not carefor either in its' interface or sound quality, Digitech JamMan (good sound quality...maybe a little too good... and kinda nice to have a week and a half of loop time, but overall not very useful as a live performance tool... and am looking real hard at picking up a Lopperlative LP1.

[TaySte_2000]

Thanks for the input Max I've been looking at the Lofi for a while now and just thought meh too expensive.

I am planning on adding another looper as I need something a bit more advanced for loops than my SMM/H but I'll be using them in conjunction as the SMM/H can mangle loops really well with 1 up or 1 down octave pitch shifting, reverse, adjustable decay of loops, filter to roll of bass or treble on the loops, true stereo looping and the looping works in all of the delay modes.

You should check one out I took mine round to Steve Lawson's who seemed impressed with it for a pedal looper

[emjazz]

For those that haven't had good luck with the DL-4, you may want to try the Keeley mod. I have one with the Keeley mod and it sounds great. I use my DL-4 only for the looping and I have great success with it.

[Jazz Ad]

Not much to show.
A Headrush and a LS-2 to alternate between recording with mic or bass.

Not really a board, but:




Needs to be cleaned up, I know.
