Newbie question...
Hello all,
My first post on this list.
I've recently become a looper in the context of my solo acoustic gig.
I'm using the Boss RC-20 loop station which is giving me *most* of what,
but
I'm trying to accomplish one other thing, and I'm having trouble finding a
piece of gear that will do it.
I want to be able to have 2 seperate loops, sync'd together in tempo, but
such that one can be stopped and started while the other plays on.
Here's an example:
I play "Lay Down Sally" by Eric Clapton. I lay down and loop a drum pattern
with my Roland drum pad thingie. That's dandy, and that stays on the entire
tune.
I THEN want to lay down the little a chord riff that the verses and the
solo
break use.
BUT, when the chorus rolls around, I want to be able to kill the A chord
riff loop, keeping the drum loop running, and them play the D/D7/E7 chorus
progression, then kick the A riff loop back in when I'm done with the
chorus.
Right now I can't loop the A riff because it plays through the chorus and
sounds lame doing so.
I've tried using an extra box to do the seperate loop, in the case a Line6
DL4, but the problem there is if the timing is off any at all, after a few
loops, everything gets out ot sync. Not acceptable.
I've read up on the Jamman, and the Electrix Repeater and it's not clear to
me from what I've read if I can have two independent, but time sync'd loops
with either of those boxes.
Can anyone lend some helpful input on this matter?
Thanks!
