Members Stazinish Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 For a while I've been planning on picking up an m9 and using that as a looper but now I'm not too into it. I used to have the JamMan way back in the day but I wasn't a big fan of it. What are you guys using for looping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SunofNothing Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 Well are you doing simple jam loops or you do want them to be recorded for next time? and i use the DL-4 and M13. Both are great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zygoat Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 I just got a 2880 and I can't think of anything that could top this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stazinish Posted July 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 I'll probably just be doing simple loops. No need to save anything. I hadn't really considered the DL-4 but I don't really need a delay and it's kind of big isn't it? I don't really want to use that much board space for a looper. It is about the sound though.

Members juri Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 For a while I've been planning on picking up an m9 and using that as a looper but now I'm not too into it. I used to have the JamMan way back in the day but I wasn't a big fan of it. What are you guys using for looping? What is your main beef with the M9 and the JamMan? This might give some ideas as to what your are looking for... I have had a Boss RC-20XL and a JamMan Stereo, what I really like about the JamMan is the storage capabilities. Saving it to an SD card, storing 99 loops, etc... Loopers are always a bit tricky when you use them as a loop because you need to match your tempo and make sure the seam sounds good. You're always recording digital with a looper as well. If you're looking for a looper to use in a live setting and you play the loop live you can also look into using one of the better delay pedals as your looper (DD-7 40 secs, HardWire DL-8 20 secs, etc...).

Members gambit Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 thinking of upgrading my Jamman to a Jamman stereo.. better switches, reverse, cycling through loops etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faldoe Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 mobius rules!and its free.Just got my laptopwoo! yes it does. I've been using that as well. You can do a lot more with the loops that with ableton in terms or real time manipulation. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JamMan just seemed clunky to me. And there wasn't much I could do to manipulate the loop, unless I was using it wrong. Haven't tried the m9 looper. What is the general consensus on the Headrush? Both the tape delay and $150 price tag are appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stazinish Posted July 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 And what's the deal with all the outputs if it doesn't loop in stereo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crxsh Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 As far as on-the-fly loopers go.... the M9's is tough to beat, IMO. It's got all the important features and is really easy to use. Only problem is the pricetag (if you're not going to use any of the rest of the features). So, yeah... I still dig my modded RC-2. It's almost completely a practice tool for me as I don't use it live, but it does what I need quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members six acre lake Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 I thoroughly enjoyed the 2880 and the Headrush. This is the correct answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 2880 is the only one I've kept. I miss the looping the SMMH would do, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turnstylepoet Posted July 31, 2010 Members Share Posted July 31, 2010 I haven't used too many but my favorite so far is my M9. Super easy to use and it has all the features I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stazinish Posted August 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 1, 2010 what didn't you like about the hazarai? that's what i use and i love it. I recently bought a VMSD and it kicked the SMMwH off my board. I don't really want to keep it just for looping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
