I do not play guitar or any other standard instrument for that matter.. i use found sounds as my palette.. i must say that i often end up just using my looping features on my quad 2 and my mpx 1 with maybe a bit of octave pitches..though sometimes i do drift towards those long deep hallways and the skipping delays. i say it is all a means to an end and some can pull it off while others drift in preset efxt hell. i prefer to spend many an hour making up my own special efxt blend so as to add to the sound not to make the efxt thee sound. c.white ---------- >From: "mark givens" <markeg@ivillage.com> >To: Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com >Subject: Re: Effect as crutch >Date: Thu, Nov 25, 1999, 12:33 PM > > >--Jeff beck uses relatively few effects reverb and fuzz. to get his tones > >On Thu, 25 Nov 1999 12:03:47 Christopher White wrote: >>how about efxs as an instrument? >>---------- >>From: "Alan Imberg" <alan_i@sprynet.com> >>To: <Loopers-Delight@annihilist.com> >>Subject: Re: Effect as crutch >>Date: Wed, Nov 24, 1999, 7:52 PM >> >> >>Clifford makes a very valid point.
