Re: Introductory Looper
I agree regarding the Digitech.. I had mine for a little over a year
when the Stop/Tempo pedal started malfunctioning. Digitech fixed it
under warranty, but still, it appears they do earn the reputation for
faulty gear. Since then, I have acquired a Gibson Echoplex Digital
Pro Plus... actually, I had to return the first one... it kept
crashing. It it certainly a more full-featured device.. a tad on
the expensive side, but worth it in my opinion. Now I just use the
JamMan to capture loops from the EDP. The USB connection on the
JamMan is a much simpler means of getting the files to the computer
than a midi dump.
Regards
John
