Re: Zoom 2100

Dear all,

        I have to concur with my namesake on this one...  Though I am 
finding 
that in a more live setting, it is far easier to use the Zoom2100 as a 
looper 
as a bridge unit, vs. being something along the lines of an Echoplex 
wherein 
you drop lines to it, to have it repeat them ad infinitum...

        Also, the click (from activating the recording to stopping it) is 
really noticable, but then again at $130.00 USA it is a real happening 
effects pedal box, especially once you have it tweaked out.  On the fly 
tweaking is highly not recommended, but sitting back with it and just 
fiddling with the controls is a blast!

        Granted, I've only been playing with mine for a little less than 6 
days, so there is a bit of learning curve...  Especially, in sussing out 
what 
you are setting and what you are not.

        Currently, using it with solid body, hollow body, bass electric 
guitars, though I did give it a whirl or three with a lap dulcimer that 
has a 
pickup in it, and had lots of fun!  Using a bass on it, is a trip, and 
I've 
found that with the "clean" effects that the Jam portion of looping is 
very 
nice and works great.

        One thing that I would like to do is to get the Expression pedal 
so 
that the volume, rates and/or depth of different effects can be used for 
things like volume swells and such.  I noticed that it does make a bit of 
difference for this unit.

        L8r on,

                Lee-ohki.
