You've said it all here Kelly. I too use the Boomerang though my eye has been caught by a Maneco as well. There are some AC noise issues if you use any type of switching transformers in your effects loop. Yes, you can probably get around them (and I have) but I also don't believe it is fair to have to buy a device and then by all types of line treatments to keep noise down in those circumstances. But, if the device is tuned properly, noise from the device is not that big of issue. I too firmly believe the Boomerang is the best live performer looping tool that's all in one, on the floor, and has thought out interfaces. This is only my gut feel, but I think the Boomerang+ is the last iteration. It's a shame because I do think he was on to something. Nevertheless, until something else comes along, I'm sticking with the Boomerang. ~peace~ Michael www.michaelplishka.com -----Original Message----- From: Kelly Coyle [mailto:kellycoyle@charter.net] Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2006 7:49 AM To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: Re: Boomerang sampler Sort of. You can set several levels of feedback for each loop, but you can't change them on the fly. So, when the loop is open for overdubs it decays, and when it is holding feedback = 100%. To do a fade, you can open the loop but not overdub anything and over time it will fade out. There is a nice little volume roller, if it's just that you want it quieter. The Boomerang seems to have lost all its cachet. I like them -- for me, they have the best looping interface yet designed. But it seems like the Jammen and RC-whatevers are going to kill them unless there's a Boomerang 2 in the works. Used prices look to be around $300. Some folks didn't like the audio quality, but I never much noticed although it can be a little fussy to set levels. You can also use it as a latching delay, like a PCM42, RDS/PDS/ Echotron-whatever, and Echoplex. Since that's the way I normally "loop," Boomerangs are very appealing to me. (Which is why I'm getting a Maneco, but that's another story -- getting one of those means having a kind of squidgy-feeling money transfer through Western Union. But hopefully he'll get his money tomorrow!) If the DD-20 would do that, it would *kill*, but I as far as I can tell it doesn't. But I still think, for looping, that you can't beat Boomerangs for the price. The Digitech, RC-50, and Headrush have just never done it for me. Well, except for the DD-20 maybe. But that's my opinion -- there are others. ----- Music: http://www.kellycoyle.net On Feb 26, 2006, at 6:30 AM, rune fagereng wrote: > Hi ! > > Does the Boomrang sampler got the option to reduse feedback in > order to make the recorded loop decrease, like Repeater and EDP ? > > Is the Boomerang a god buy, regarding looping ? > > Rune F.
