sorry mea culpa Rick for not writtng big O.T.!
but because i am using microphones more and more
lately and dealing with bleeding problems when i loop
i am trying to minimize that as much as
possible,though still trying to play a real instrument
and looping his authentic sound.
I was told here that dobros sound like dobros only
through a microphone and that there wasnt really any
convincing pickups for them unless you get really
expensive ones made specially for them,ive toyed
around with the possiblity of getting something like
the variax or the vg-99 but with time i am getting
tired of all of this instrument simulations and
getting to appreciate the real thing more and more.I
havent loop with a drum machine synced to the EDPs
since my last gig in Brescia Italy and ive distanced
myself from my sampler lately as well...now the
handsonic certainly looks very attractive but lately i
feel better looping real instruments and then coming
in with my "woodbox" or Cajon for a groove.At the
begining i used to have terrible feedback problems
with the cajon and acoustic but Ive solved the problem
by sticking pillows inside it and sticking a feedback
buster on my acoustic.I am even looking for a feeback
buster that will fit the soundhole of the cajon!
Listening to looper cats like Ash grunwald or matt
taylor from australia and seeing some of their videos
on youtube caught my interest on a dobro,although
those guitars do feel a bit madmax they really sound
like nothing else!
