Members Ovid9 Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 HNPD man! I keep saying I need to buy a looper to help me get better at playing. But instead I buy more OD/Distortion/Fuzzes. I expect you to get more delay pedals and create Gene-esque soundscapes to amuse us all. I think that means you need to step up your drinking too.

Members Ron Burgandy Posted December 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 I love this damn thing so far!! It's been a lot of fun and is somehow easier to use than my old DL4. Very cool device that I haven't even scratched the surface of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members macgaj3 Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 I just bought one of those and returned it within 48 hours because of noise issues. No issues with yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KCTigerChief Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 Dammit dave, you cocktease. I came in expecting clips...I was left with blue balls Glad you like it! Youngblood, it takes a drummer who will actually listen and follow the guitar in order to use one live. If you find a drummer who will follow a guitar player's beat, then keep him, because most drummers want to do it their own way, regardless of how much their tempo fluctuates.

That's because most drummers are idiots who never learned to properly play in rhythm. I knew how to play drums long before I picked up a guitar. So I lose my {censored} when a drummer can't just hold it down with a fair bit of restraint. It's not about how many times you hit the skins. It's about how many times you DON"T hit them.

I got it for {censored}ing around at home but if it's playing back in quantum mode the drummer can treat it like a click? Hell, I dunno! Ive never used one live. Originally Posted by macgaj3 I just bought one of those and returned it within 48 hours because of noise issues. No issues with yours? None whatsoever. It sounds as clear as the source signal with no additional noise. How were you powering it? I've got mine on the iso5 which helps a lot on noise.

Members Van_Muddlestein Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 I've been really interested in picking one up not for live use but to help me write parts for songs. When I'm writing songs or in the studio I do a lot of layering and a looper seems to be a good way to test run those ideas at home. Glad you're digging a new pedal, sir!

(it actually is really good for that. put each layer in softly though, they can build up real quick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mike LX-R Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 I've enjoyed a looper for a lot of years with my DL-4. Never quite committed to using it for a piece of music, but it's an invaluable practice tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members primeholy Posted December 24, 2012 Members Share Posted December 24, 2012 How are you running it? I got one of these about 6 months ago, mainly for playing acoustic at mother {censored}ing church, but I have only used it once. After Christmas I'm gonna try to get my home jam space worked out.
