I did. Theere was a time were I had no looping device.
I used them my AKAI multitrack recorder to record and mix what would
become a loop. I had then to "manually loop" the whole. ie play
everything. That gave a quite different flavour (more organic?).
Anyway, The  jam man made me lazy. I don't do that anymore. Was better
but really time consuming, and definitely impossible to use on stage,
not to mention unsuited for improvisation.
