Re: zoom2100

Size matters and the fact that i loved the 508.

The 508 love i have is not for its looping capabilities cause it does not 
loop...it gives delays that have a long fade out that appear to be loops 
and 
its patch cut off was seamless and not all of a sudden unless u wanted it 
to 
be. 

the 508 gave me great at my fingertips, knobless delay patches a la "run 
like 
hell" or the edge in a programable, punchable way quick and easy.

combined with the stuff i already have: gt-3, the zoom 503 and the 505 
with 
zoom volume/expression pedal and a headrush, I dont really need the 2100. 
I 
typically will only use the gt-3, headrush and gr-30 and I also have an 
old 
rackmount boss de-200 i use evry now and then on A/B patches.

I dont use midi for looping on stage though I do sometimes have my gr-30 
connected to my ASR 10 sampler and an Emu Morpheus sometimes. I'll use the 
morpheus for solo guitar stuff. but im not big on syncing my loops to midi 
time.

I always tend to do everything loopwise in realtime but usually not synced 
to 
midi. in my case the loops that are synced to midi arent realy loops 
tho...they are sequences but nothing realtime and frankly for the dancier 
stuff i tend to just push the buttons or deliberately not have non 
rhythmic 
loops play in any particular time...and the sequenced stuff that is looped 
outside of the rhythmic stuff underneath is samples of my guitar rig that 
have been treated in sound forge 4.5 and bounced into an sp202 and then 
sequenced using cakewalk and bounced back into the ASR 10's sequencer.

I never got the 2100 cause i had the 505, then 508 and 503 and found 
pretty 
much everything that was funky about zooms in those products. then i 
bought 
other stuff and im happy with the setup i presently use. I try to only get 
what i'm actually gonna use a lof of over time.
