Re: First post - newbie advice wanted



Thanks all for your very interesting replies!

It does sound as if I might be better with a looper AND a phrase sampler.  Presumably they can be controlled using foot switches (my hands are going to be pretty busy!)?  Also I'm currently a bit hazy about how they sync to each other.

The other part of me is saying that for the kind of music I do I should keep it ultra-simple and just use the Jamman.  I suppose the effect I'm after is of a 'slightly' more sophisticated Seasick Steve, so I'm not looking for multi-layered loops and such like - it's really quite a raw blusey approach - think early Free perhaps.  I know that what I should really do is get a decent drummer and bass player, but I'm quite fed up of the silly ego trips and arguments that inevitably (in my experience) happen in a band situation, and I feel that I'd like to at least give the solo thing a try.

Thanks again.
