See. There's your problem. If instead of going back into a previous post to edit it and
add info you just made another post you would have hit 500 posts after 3 1/2 years.

When talking about looping pedals... turn your own posts into loops.
Quote yourself. Ready your QWERTY keyboard and make sure to use
"tab tempo" so you get proper spacing.

Should I suggest a timebender? To just let you all know I'm still me?

Nah actually, don't know if it's great for live, but it does however have a built in harmonizer that you can change with an expression pedlol. So. Only 20 secs tho

Subscribing to this because I want a full featured looper too but I always shy away feom the boomerang due to the price. I had a ton of issues with the infinity looper. Broken switch, problems with powering it, firmware issues causing lock ups. I didnt like it at all.

What about a used original Boomerang? It's. Little big but has all the functions you need right there.

[D.o.S.]

Kbit is selling an E2 right now in the classifieds for a really good price. I almost snagged it from him but bills got in the way.

Earlier Boomerangs are getting ridiculously expensive. I've seen them up to $275 might as well wait and save for a rang III.

Here's another loop-related question: how do y'all even use loops in a live band setting without turning all of the signal coming out of your amp into inaudible mush or screeching? Or do all ILF live loopers have stereo rigs?

I have the exact same issue. I was thinking maybe a JC120 would fix it, but now that the Iconoclast is a thing I might just go stereo with that

Personally I'm more.drawn in the direction of a.Verellen Kalaloch or a 2nd Marshall with toobs and a dual 2x12 set-up, although that would require a substantially larger investment than the Neunaber

is that common? Maybe because when I loop I change up the volume of my guitar so things sit where I want them. I like stereo rigs though if I do a lot of different layers or distorted layers. I tend to loop clean mathy tap riff so its not much of an issue with me though over all.

Use your volume knob or pedal so the loops are at different levels. The rang III has volume controls for each loop which is real nice.

Exactly

Although to be fair part of my problem is I have a particularly bad amp for this kind of thing, a Blues Deluxe Reissue I've had since I first started playing. Even with mostly clean playing, if I'm looping at levels high enough to get over drums it starts turning into a wash. It's fine If I mess with loop volumes at lower overall volumes, but turn up at all and it just doesn't have the headroom. The new amp investment may be worth it...

Plan ahead, and adjust the tone of each overdub so that they don't conflict. Use your neck pup with the tone turned down for one loop, then your bridge pup for the overdub. Play very quietly with a bunch of delay to get an ambient loop, then play louder with less effects for a more prominent part.

Also, economize your overdubs. How things going on do you really need? Layering on a single melody or chord progression is often good, but a ton of different melodies turn into mush fast.

Multiple amps can make this MUCH easier, of course.

Volume knob, yes. But also a volume pedal, after all your fx (or at least your main dirt and/if compressors) and before the looper. Again, why I like the M9 because you have both in there.
