Well, glad I never picked one of those up. That is such a dumb thing to not include.

Flashback X4 looper is worse than the DL4.
Source: Owned X4, sold it.

22500 for live looping sucks hard, unless you are using it on a top table.

Could you talk about this? I was pretty close to buying one used...
Love the Timeline, but sometimes I want multiple loops.

fuck me sideways, aren't we in 2016 and some shitshow it is.
why don't we have loopers that loop in a logical way for us?
why does the flashback x4 suck more than the dl4? I didn't LOVE the dl4 at all and dumped it after a bit.
now the headrush e2 I do love but the time be too short.
WTF
ALSO TRAFFIC CAN SUCK IT
and by it I mean my KACK

Since it's the future more people are breeding and those people don't know how to drive properly.

You need to use the rotary encoder in order to do pretty much anything but starting/stopping a loop.
Push, turn, push, hold, push... It's a fucking nightmare.

FUCK
so ditto x2 seems like the most solid simple looper out
then the timeline?
that's a huge expanse between the 2!

The global effects on the Ditto X4 are a pain, but otherwise that one seems better than the 22500 now that I think of it... I don't care at all for banks of saved loops or built in, awful sounding drum machines. The X4 seems to have a much more intuitive way to switch between the two loops, if it's in the right mode. Plus the fade-out on the Ditto always seemed cool to me.
But a big problem is that I hate the TC footswitches. It's bad enough to lose a Polytune mini because the footswitch dies, and the Ditto X4 has FOUR of them. This is also a problem for the X2, imho.

if I get one I'll switch out the switches or have one of you guys do it

you guys gave me hell about fx dr but he's rad
and I have no tools or space

Anyone use the Boomerang III with MIDI clock sync? Very interested in picking up the new Drumbrute and have a casual interest in syncing some loops.
Heard a rumor from somewhere that the Boomerang Side Car is no longer being made. Sort of a deal killer to not have it.
TC Electronic uses the same flawed tactile switch as the Line 6 DL4. Replacement should be just as easy.

Never had a problem with the TC switches. What happens to them/what are you doing to them?

I never realized they used tactile switches.

This is what you're actually pressing when you hit the footswitch. So, if you hit it hard enough, bye.
