TC Ditto Looper

[gregmon79]

Hey all, I'm curious as to know how you guys are utilizing your Ditto Looper. I just got mine about a week ago and have played around with it a little bit, mostly for practice. I'll just lay a riff down in a key and loop it and play over it. But I'm wondering how/if anyone is using it in a live situation or in a song that you or your band has written. So let me hear some ideas all! Thanks.

Think of buying this so I would be interested to hear what current users have to say.

I use it a lot live. I run a synth pad (POG2+MWBD+Reverb) or swells into the ditto. I then play my standard line over the top when the song starts to build. I use it almost every set.

Same as above but I also do the opposite. I'll lay down my line, then comp chords or put a counter line over it. Works well if everyone can hear it, that's the key. The former tends to work better in the event that the time starts to shift a little. You can always fall back on that line if you kill the loop. In the latter situation, you have to be ready to jump back to the line when you kill the loop. It's a tricky move sometimes.

Timing the double click to kill the loop "on time" has been problematic for me. Erasing a loop and not getting a blurp of one note of sound is also a bit of a pain. But overall it's awesome, the size and price are hard to beat.
