I saw Howie Day on Carson Daily as well. Personally, I'm a big fan.
Musically, I do a lot of similar things because I'm also a
singer/songwriter
who incorporates looping.
As for his gear. He has one pedalboard for his guitar(DL-4, Boss DD-5,
Boss OC-2) and one pedalpoard for his voice(DD-5, DL-4, some other stuff
too). He keeps his signal paths seperate.
His album Austrailia is really good. No looping on it as far as I can
tell. However, next week, a new Howie Day EP will be released. From what
I
read, a companion DVD comes with it. The DVD is supposed to be a live
performance(probably with a lot of looping) Anyway, I'll certainly check it
out and send a review to this list.
