Members Kaz2550 Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 Anyone know where to get good quality ones at reasonable prices? I found Red Onion http://www.redonionsolutions.co.uk/Loop.htm which I think are well priced but just wondering if anyone knows a better supplier. UK only please. Cheers, Kaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MrChrisos Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yep, I've got a looper from Red Onion, had it over a year without any problems. They're nice guys and the bonus is you can go as custom as you want. I went without a paint job for cheapness (and I thought it looked better) and picked the LED colours meself. Best value in the UK that I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loop-Master Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 We ship to the UK no problem. There's Monkey FX in the UK too if you want to keep it close.http://www.monkeyfx.co.uk/index2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best value in the UK that I found. another vote for Red Onion here. they're good to deal with; everything is custom built but they still have a fast turnaround; you can have the pedal layout (orientation, jacks and switch position) done to your specification (at no extra cost). great service + reasonable prices + quality product = from me.

Members Kaz2550 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 Cheers that's awesome guys I think I'll probably give them an order soon. I'm thinking a 2 loop + master bypass and mix control on the second loop I'd love to give it a go at building one myself but it looks like it'll probably cost about the same to buy as build maybe save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 80k Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 I found these true bypass loopers to complicate my rig too much, and also had a negative effect on my tone (more cables, more jacks, more plugs, more switches and internal wiring). In most cases, i highly suggest either living with a few buffered bypass pedals or doing a TB-mod on the pedals that bother you. There are certainly a few exceptions, as occasionally you'll have an unmoddable pedal with horrible bypass (like the Digitech Whammy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chakosh Posted May 28, 2009 Members Share Posted May 28, 2009 I found these true bypass loopers to complicate my rig too much, and also had a negative effect on my tone (more cables, more jacks, more plugs, more switches and internal wiring). I use 'em to turn multiple effects on/off for solos. Much easier to hit 1 button rather than hit 3 or 4 and risk hitting the wrong pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier to hit 1 button rather than hit 3 or 4 and risk hitting the wrong pedal. I'm going to use it for the purpose chakosh mentioned. Any tonal benefit is a side benefit really. I think my chain is gonna be something like this, some pedals I haven't got yet though (in red): Guitar|Korg Pitchblack|Loop1 - Dime CBH Wah - Boss CS2 -Keeley TMB|Loop2 - (some kind of modulation) - Boss DD7+tap tempo |Amp Any problems? Slightly worried about the lack of buffers in complete bypass mode... Maybe I should just keep my Boss TU2 instead of buying a PB? Loop Master does indeed sound great. Not sure if I can wait 8 weeks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh thanks but, it has never been that long. Our build/queue times are at about 4-5 weeks. Still sucks but not 12 weeks! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might keep the TU-2 instead of the PB if I were you just so you have a buffered effect in front, but I don't have a buffer before or after my TB loops right now, and I'm not having any problems. If you set everything up right, having TB loops makes everything so much more convenient. I can hit one button and turn on most of my effects at the same time. It's like creating presets. I wholeheartedly support your endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna go for a three switch one but decided against it to save board space. I think it should be easy enough to stomp on both at once to get complete bypass.

Christmas time is ugly-busy.I am currently working on a solution to this as I am writing this so, I need to get the hell out of here and get to it don't I?
