Re: how do you loop?

[Andreas Willers <a.willers@arcor.de>]

I find myself using less and less stuff these days. To a typical gig  
I'd bring one electric guitar, ebow/slide/assorted things to prepare  
the gtr (brushes on gtr sound great!), a couple of pedals and an amp.  
I'll loop with an EDP with the analog footcontroller and a Kenton  
Spin Doctor Midi control box. I love the EDP since it's granular loop  
option provides me with a fantastic alternative to the more standard  
ostinato-oriented approach. That way I can use it in free improv  
situations a lot.

I used to love to bathe in Lexicon reverb/big delay type soundscapes  
for ages but have abandoned them along with the much-loved volume  
pedal six years or so ago. Just left them at home to see if it would  
work. I hardly play with reverb at all these days, working more with  
different playing styles, room ambience and the mystic "3-D-Sound" of  
good tube amps (it really seems to help).
