I was playing jazz tunes at an open mic with my jazz box going into a Boss RC-20 (this was way before I came up with the huge looping setup). I recorded in the background loop of the sensitive ballad "My Foolish Heart". Unfortunately, I had forgotten to make sure that the "Guide" track knob was turned down after carrying the pedal in my backpack. So when I hit the pedal again to play back the loop, a deafeningly loud drum beat came out.
