Got a Boomerang 3 during that 15 percent off sale at ToneFactor.

Pretty cool. Now I need to buckle down and run it through its paces.

let me know how you like it! I've always been tempted by these things but never have the funds :grumpy: if it turns out you think it's really the best looper ever I may need to reconsider my funds

I already like it way better than the Digitech Looper I had but could never get on with.

This really seems tuned for live improvisational playing.

There are so many pedals out there that are one trick ponies and cost shitloads of money. This thing is expensive (though I got it for 15% off) but it is like a musical instrument in itself rather than a pedal. My take is that you would not be disappointed. :omg: But what in hell do I know? :picard: :idk: :facepalm: :picard: :idk: :facepalm: :picard: :idk: :facepalm: :idk: :idk: :idk:

My 3 cents.

I almost got one. Almost.
The m9 was slightly lighter on the wallet, plus it gives me e-cred at hcfx.

Want, but some things are preventing me from buying one. I wish it had: filters (lo and hi) and modulation (even just slow and fast) that could be added to the samples, similar to the Superdelay (only thing I'm using my SD for at the moment actually!)

I haven't done it yet but I am going to put my z-vex lo fi loop junky in front of it so I can rerecord those loops onto the Boomerang if I want. :omg:

Truth, and I did just buy a LFLJ. Still want a modulated, regular fidelity sample though!
Wish Akai would make a headrush e3, smaller and without the delay. I just want simple looping for home noodlery. The boomerang is still tempting, but the price tag is holding me back.
