question about loopers

[fuzzylogic220]

ok which looper should i get. ? Can i do this........... record a line clean. and then have that line played clean while i play something diffrent in and overdrive sound?. ........... i had a looper a long time ago and the loop would change when i changed the preset on the korg thing that i had. ........ but now that i have pedals it might not do that...... but i duno u tell me.

you should be able to do different tracks with different effects, if you have the dough, go for a boomerang, those are easy to use and have a ton of memory

well here is what i want to use it for........ i have this song that i recorded not long ago where i do this clean wah riff on the guitar and then go into an overdrive sound for the rest of the song. well during the mixing proccess of the cd. the people who mixed the cd put that riff at diffrent points along the song. which i LOVE it sounds killer, but im the only guitar player so i have to play the rhythum but i would love to have that clean wah riff played where i need it to be played. so is that possiable.?

sounds like you had the "KORG thing" AFTER the looper; it should be before.

check out the BOSS RC-2.
you can even have the part pre-recorded and saved and trigger it with one stomp!

If you want to do that you'll need to run your amp clean, and get your distortion from pedals. In other words you'd play your line into the looper, and then get your distorted sound with a distortion pedal placed before the looper. Any distortion or other effects coming from a source after the looper, like an overdriven amp, will effect the sound of the loop.
