getting started/what to buy/ loop things/ budgets
dear getting started-
i have mostly experience w/ the low end stuff. i started w/ a digitech rp100, it has 2 sec of delay, i really experiemented a lot w/ it. then added a dod d-12, it has 12 sec of delay or 4 banks of 6 sec samples. i used those 2 in conjunction forever, still use them actually. i have added between those a zoom g2 (5 sec, can't manipulate delay, but effects options are very good for price) and i also have a digitech xdelay (4 sec of delay-which gives me more options)....
i have also used a boss dd20, i didn't love it, but if you are preforming live, it would be a very good option w/ the foot options....and it has many delay options and sound on sound.....
if you are looking to perform live singer songwriter stuff w/ looping, the things i've seen:
1. howie day on carson dailey used a line 6 delay modeler (14 sec of loop time), i have not used one, much
discussion on L-D about it.....many big wigs use it as well, howie day did some cool stuff at the end of the song he performed that fit w/ the song. he used it to good effect.....i doubt ave viewer knew what he was doing.....the tv did show a clip of his foot working pedal board, and i think he had 2 of them.....
2.i saw a pic of kaki king in my last guitar player and she had a boss loop station at her feet in her pedal board (don't know if it was ver. 1 or the xl version).....
the main thing i stress, if you are playing live, you want feet control manipulation....for most of my loop experiments i'm sitting, and i like to twiddle, so its lots of hand manipulation for me (i'm not much of a stomper).....
s---
ps-i think you should also check the "TOOLS" section, most of the choices have reviews done by a L-D folk, most give the goods/bads, which all devices have, you just have to find what works for you,
experiment...name of the game here.....happy looping...
