Re: First of possibly many stupid questions



Thanks to all! Actually, I think the JamMan was out in the eighties. The reason I procrastinated is because the guitar itself is a lifetime learning thing, and add studio chops, keyboards, MIDI, actual work, family and all the rest, it was a matter of parsing out my commitments. Plus I've only recently started to do much live performance again.

It sounds like the Looperlative is the machine for me... assuming there is a foot switch setup that will work with it... and that the price isn't astronomical... and that it isn't too buggy.

I'll be watching for reviews of it over the next few weeks.

Cool group! It would be sweet if all the emails were collated into one email... but other than that I'm loving it.

Peace

Wow, that's some procrastination. Didn't the JamMan
hit in the early 90s? The good news is that there's
more choice than ever for a looper.

I've found that in a line level situation both the EDP
and Repeater have excellent tone, though if you have
the wrong gain stage it's easy to hear Repeater noise.
I've never experienced it. Both are fine, but very
different machines. I never really dug the EDP, yet
it's many people's favorite.

However, the Looperlative is about to ship and I'm
sure in the next week or so this week will be flooded
with observations. It brags really high quality sound
and a feature set that's pretty unique. (8 stereo
loops at one time, syncronized or not! and MIDI sync)

so you may want to keep procrastinating for a little
while longer and Give some more thought to what you
want to do with your looper. I've heard that even the
RC-20 and 50 sound great, they're just more limited
and without MIDI sync.

I've been considering getting into looping live
guitar (Michael HEdges
style) since the Jam Man first came out and have
procrastinated . But
the time is upon me! So... I want to get a good one
with very high
quality audio... and have considered the Gibson
Echoplex or, if they
ever get it back out, the Electrix Repeater. There
are a bunch of
earlier Gibson Eplexes on ebay, but they are the
earlier versions. So,
question is, are the new ones any better than the
old? Sonically?
Reliability wise? Memory?

ALso I've heard the footswitches for the Gibson are
light duty. Is
true?

I'm going to use it for very high end acoustic
guitars with K&K
Powermix Trinity pickups (deadly beautiful) and a
resonator with a
Schatten in it (also killer). So the sound quality
is critical. I've
heard the Repeater's sound is not as good as the
Gibson. I'll probably
also use it in my studio.

I'm not real interested in MIDI implementation or
tweaking sounds (I
don't think). I have stuff that will do that in my
studio already.

Am I looking in the right place? Are these answers
more easily found
elsewhere? I've scoured the loopers delight web
site and while the
answers are almost there, I still need more data.

thanks for your patience
