Re: mechanical looping instruments

[Texture444@aol.com]

yeah, uh-huh!
this's probably been discussed before, but:
for those of you w/mixing consoles, there's always the 
mechanical/electronic 
'looper', a la Toshimaru Nakamura, etc:
feed the output of a single mixer channel back to its own input; then, any 
knob/fader/trim/etc  in that channel strip becomes a 'controller' for the 
nature of the subsequent feedback.
effects can be put in-line, as well, & the channel's output can be sent to 
yer looper-of-choice.
fun, but:
keep yer hand on the master-fader, so ya don't blow up yer speakers.....
best,
