Belated Results: 2005 Looper Survey!
It's official. I'm a slacker.
I had been planning on 2006 being the year that I got serious about
blogging and podcasting and live streaming and other cool music-related
technologies. But, other priorities prevailed, and here I am now with a
neglected blog and website, a non-existant podcast, and no live
streaming performances under my belt. :(
But everyday is a chance to start over, right? :)
Here's a link to my blog post from this afternoon, summarizing some of
the basic results of the online 2005 Looping Survey conducted starting
in November 2005:

(by the way, my "audio gallery" site is still alive, at
http://www.uncledig.com/ if you're interested in that sort of thing)
Many of you participated in the survey (110 of the 182 respondents were
LD members), and I want to thank you for taking the time to do it. This
survey was completed just *before* things really started to heat up with
the Looperlative, so you won't even see it in the list of standard
answers. It *was* listed by a couple of people in the "other" columns.
It'll be interesting to see what it looks like in another year!
As a quick comparison, the 2003 survey (taken in November 2003) showed
these results:
94 people responded
310 total devices were reported

1) Echoplex Digital Pro = 68 devices
2) Electrix Repeater = 36 devices
3) Line6 DL-4 Delay Modeler = 33 devices
4) Lexicon Jamman = 19 devices
