Looper's Delight

I was going to say that the Roland GP100 scores reasonably well on this front as well. It has a stereo effects loop that supports placement at arbitrary positions in the signal chain. It also has two outputs which can be helpful as a way to add some final effects is you have another mixer available afterwards. On the other hand, it doesn't have a looper and it doesn't have MIDI syncable effects. I also really doubt that it's reverb can match Lexicon's. (And 20 seconds is nothing. I used to love to crank the reverb time on my SPX90 up to 99 seconds. Great fun when used in conjunction with the cheap little Korg drum machine I had at the time.) Mark P.S. My signal path from the Santa Cruz Y2K2 show: guitar --> floor effects --> GP100 --> effects send effects send --> Filter Queen --> DL8000R --> effects return GP100 output A --> EDP --> AM8000R --> EQ Killer GP100 output B --> EQ Killer effects return EQ Killer --> main output It was pretty simple and flexible. I have yet to obtain a recording of the Y2K2 show, so I don't know how it sounded for the audieence. The signal flow makes me ever so slightly miss my GP100 (sold last fall) but I tend to prefer the sound of my DG-Stomp. on 3/2/03 2:06 PM, Matthias Grob at matthias@grob.org wrote: > Thank you everybody for those informations. > > It reinforces my impression that this unit is especially suited for > looping since: > - it has a looper in it > - it can send and receive MIDIclock to sync this internal looper to an > external > - it has a insert between two effect stages for the external looper and > - you can choose for any effect to be before or after the inserted >looper.
