Yeah, I've found (just like Jesse said) that you have
to adjust your playing to the equipment you're using.
If you try to use multiple unsynched loopers to do
multiple tightly synched parts, you're not going to be
satisfied with the results. But if you give the
different devices different "jobs", they can work well
together; one can do a repeating pattern of notes
while a couple of others do textural stuff or a drone.
It doesn't mean the music has to be all 'floaty
stuff'; you can easily have cloudy ambient textures
beneath an extremely aggressive/choppy part.
Crossfading between the textural stuff is fun, as is
crossfading between drones in different keys,
'playing' the faders on the mixer, as it were.
