Looking for a drone effect, think bagpipe

I play harmonica and am looking around to get a pedal that can hold one note I play on it, so then can play tunes over the top. I know about loop stations, but wondering if anyone knows of a simple pedal that just holds one note, preferably a note I choose! Any idea's? Cheers

Harmonica is the {censored}. I'm just learning to play harmonica myself.

Any old hold delay should hook you up with what you need. Bear in mind that most of them have about two seconds of delay or less.

Ibanez DDL
Digitech PDS 1000, 1002, 2000, or 8000.
DOD FX94
Boss DD series (With the possible exception of the DD2)

Then theres your actual loopers, like the Boss RC series, the Line 6 DL4, Akai Headrush, etc. I think it's a little easier to use this type of looper, as opposed to a hold delay.

Some kind of fuzz, especially a big muff, and some kind of harmonizer/whammy effect.

edit: didn't read the whole first post, and apparently others didn't, either.

If you want something cheepish, you can do this with a Boss DD-5's hold feature.

I would get something like the boss dd-3. It has a hold mode that will play a sample for as long as you hold it down. Plus I think it would sound great with harmonica.

i read it and still stand by my suggestion.

:p


there's a difference between a constant drone and a loop drone. usually to get a seemless drone by looping (or delaying) you have to have 3 layers or so, which means you have to get the levels just right, etc.

or you could get Spiritualized's Pure Phase Tones for D.J.'s!!
