Re: Have I gone loopy or something?

Good Thread segway ACE! I take it you are digging that new pedal?? haha

Yes, Bloodrose, that's exactly it. Press record, play, press stop, listen on repeat.

I have that Digitech one, and I love it. I found out that it's pretty much useless in front of a dirty amp, but I don't mind running everything clean if I'm just writing at home. Not only does it help with soloing, but you can really tighten up by playing with yourself.

Re: Have I gone loopy or something?

Loopers can have other functions, like allowing you to manipulate the loop in real time as you play over it...like take a 4 bar phrase, multiply it, and play a 12 bar phrase over it...pitch transpose it, reverse it, fade it out, etc. The Digitech is great for simple practice, since it does one thing and does it well, but there are some really great looping devices which add a ton of other functions. It is just a different way of approaching composition.
