Re: ...what to go for then?
Hey community-
Have we ever discussed the difference
between a looper and a long delay? Methinks a looper can store a few
audio loops, can start, stop, restsart and/or continue on command, and
can "undo" one or more levels of looping. A long delay won't do these
things, but will have a feedback function so loops can fade away as new
material is added. Any more differentiating features?
I ask this because I'm reading this thread,
thinking, Boss DD-20! Boss DD-20! Makes a great looper! (except it
doesn't do those "looper" things mentioned above)

...what to go for then?
Hi there,
I´m also new to this community,
been playing guitar for 15 years now and have been invited by some DJs
to perform live with them. Obviously I need a looper, and I was just
about to go and get a RC-50 , but that was before I read reviews on
harmony-central, musiciansfriend.com, loopers delight, etc.....I was
excited about going stereo, having 3 phrase tracks, such long recording
time......bla, bla, bla...........but as I would have it mainly for
live performances, just put it aside for this moment.
RC-20XL is mono, seems to
degrade sound quality as more phrases are added onto previous recorded
ones, has the 2 seconds pressed pedal waiting time to change
recording/dubbing functions......sounds not pro enough.
Also read a lot about some
little issues on Digitech JamMan, Boomerang, Electro Harmonix 2880,
etc.......even the Gibson Echoplex Digital ProPlus got bad reviews.
Sincerely....I got lost in the
middle of everything, so it got cloudy for me to define what should I
buy at this moment, what will give me condition for a reliable and
creative live performance, and also be a smart option regarding the
cost X benefit X technology X quality issue.
Counting on your expertise
people....thanks a lot.
Peace.
