Re: flexible looper in small packag
I tend to agree with David on this. I've owned 2 of the 3 loopers he
mentions in his first paragraph and the Boss DD-20. I believe creative
spirit is the uniting factor on the list as opposed to price of device.
Though I often dream of having a Repeater or the Hallowed EDP, things in
real life like work, school, mortgage, bills etc.. have often gotten in
the way.
I do see Jesse's point if he were implying the zenith of said looping
equipment in most of our minds at least technologically and
demographically. Can you clarify for us Jesse? I don't think any insult
was intended in the least.
Still Lurking,
Todd

Well, I use a 'low-end' looper and am not someone who wishes to pre-
record backing tracks. The likes of an RC-20, DL-4 and Headrush are
expensive enough without having to worry that I can't afford
something that doesn't constitue a 'low-end' looper.
These aforementioned items may not have all the functions of a more
expensive looper, but loopers they still are. I may be missing out,
but i'm still finding out many amazing things through the use of
these loopers. i don't consider a moment using these as wasting time.
