Re: Looper Trooper (hardware)
I love Imogene Heap. This was a live radio performance using an Electrix Repeater (unfortunately also out of production). Nothing but voice and loops.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25VGdNU3nrU[/youtube] Oh yeah, I remember this when I first got into looping; it was pretty impressive. Super cool! I don't know that I LOVE the Roland RC300, it's got a lot of cool features, but it's kind of laid out in typical roland/boss fashion. Comes with an "awesome" manual, directly translated from the Japanese... The EXH 45000 seems to me to be much, much superior. I'm not just saying that because I'm a huge Electroharmonix fan, either... lol Just my opinion...

I play very few solos because I'm not very good at it, and nothing too fancy because I'm far from being a good stickist. This is also one of the reasons why I sing. It hides my lousy playing.

I look forward to your arrangements, I love how your LH and RH follow each other so perfectly, I work on that a lot too, for my "singer/songwriter" mode. Songs. All that really matters in the end, I think...

Re: Looper Trooper (hardware)
Some one mentioned the TC Voicelive3
I have one. I am using a Bass preamp pedal (MXR) that has an XLR out. I feed the Bass side of the stick into the MIC input and the Melody side into the GTR Input. Now I have separate FX for each side that are in sync with each other and I can Loop either side in sync with each other and have separate outputs.
Works pretty well. I haven't used it live yet. My applications for live looping are mostly looping a bass line and/or riff and then playing another instrument (Horns, melodica usually).

Re: Looper Trooper (hardware)
Great thread!
Has anyone tried the Eventide Timefactor looper functions? How does it rank?
And also, what about the TC Ditto x2/x4? I think you have to double-click to end the loop which seems problematic for good timing? Any experiences?

Re: Looper Trooper (hardware)
The Ditto x4 has a Stop button. What I haven't seen in the YouTube demos is how to clear a loop. The original ditto I had for one day.....you had to hear the beginning of a loop to clear it unless you held the button down to stop. And the double click thing was awful
The X4 has MIDI Clock sync which is huge....and the Decay function looks very useful for ambient looping.

A lot of people have recommended one of the flavors of the TC Ditto. Cheap, easy to use, and simple controls. Gets the job done. My personal opinion is that these are too basic for me and I want more loops and more functionality, but this seems a good place to start, if you're starting. I've been doing "loops" through Pro Tools and MIDI sequencers for several years, and I'm ready for the Roland RC-300, as several people have recommended. But here's some stuff about the TC Ditto 2 and 4. http://looperpedalreviews.com/tc-electr ... er-review/Sweetwater: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ ... oC5JLw_wcBHere's Sweetwater's breakdown of the X2.

Re: Looper Trooper (hardware)
TC Electronic Ditto Stereo Looper Pedal
I finally just pulled the trigger on a looper. I waffled between getting the $500+ version with all the bells and whistles, or the stripped down and simple version of the Ditto for $99. Instead, I went for the cheap option but did it in stereo, for $129. I probably should have gone for the Ditto X4, but this will do. I suspect I'll be graduating to the Electro-Harmonix 45000 4-Track Looper Pedal at some point. ( https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/45Thousand $478.50) I'll be sure to share whatever it is I'm able to do with this looper, soon enough! Thanks to all who helped and who be helping to come!
