Members Bassin' 'Round Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 Love the idea of a looper, but don't even know which end is up when it comes to them. What is the VERY easiest one w/the shortest learning curve? Maybe the Boomerang +? When will the 'Rang 2 be out, any info? How about the EHX 16-Second Delay? (they're supposed to soon have a new model that eliminates the 4-count problem, I think)? Any opinions welcomed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stereotypy Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 i found the dl4 pretty easy to use. when you set the tempo to half speed you have 28 sec recording time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think either the DL-4 or the Akai Headrush are the simplest loopers out there. The DL-4 also does a lot of other stuff, but its loop function is simple and all you will need for laying down a looping rhythm track and even overdubbing. The Boss DD-20 or RC-20 will both do it as well, but I didn't really like the RC-20 at all when I had one. The boomerang is good but much more expensive for what it does, plus it is a pretty large pedal. If you were to go that route you might as well wait for the upcoming Boss RC-50.

Members stereotypy Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 on uncledig's site i discovered that boss will soon release a bigger looper. like 3 rc-20xl in one big pedal.... looks quite interesting if you'll loop alot...

Members preservation Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 the fact that the DL4 employs the type of switch that it does makes it the EASIEST looper. bar none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UncleDig Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 DL-4 is the easiest, IMO (too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members freeridstylee Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think hands down the easiest is the one they put in the digitech delay petal. You push down to start, hold til the end, release. HUGE DOWNFALL..........its only like a 4 or 8 second loop. If they were to implament that simplicity into a 25+ sec looper i'd be all over it. I didn't like the dl4 too much, and the boss one even less. what can i say im a simple man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members natasmi Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 LoFi Loopjunky, I can't imagine an easier looper to use. I'd be lost without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IndofunkCity Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 I think the DL4 and the lofi are the easiest, probably about the same. But they cost the same (?) and the DL4 does a LOT more than just loop, so .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members piut Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 yup, dl-4 has to be the easiest looper there is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BmoreTele Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'm thinking the EHX 16 might get a lot more love now that they fixed the 4 beat click. You can get one for the same or a little less than the RC20XL or Jam Man. It has modulation, reverse, pitch or tempo shifting, True Bypass, and up to 4 minutes of delay time.

Hmm, that's a good point. iualum, what do you plan to use the looper for? Just record a phrase and repeat it, and layer over it, or do you want to make some serious glitchy noise and general wierdness with it? In the first case, I stand by the DL4 (or the lofi). But if you want to get nutty with it, the new 16 sec (the NEW one, see my 16 sec mod thread edit: just realized you've seen the thread ... and posted there ) is just as simple to use as the DL4 (ok, a *touch* more complicated) but it can get wierd and wacky and wild with just a little tweak of a slider.

Members seifukusha Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 i wish someone one make like a 30 second looper with overdubbing in a boss size pedal. id love that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gr8fuldodd Posted December 21, 2005 Members Share Posted December 21, 2005 I like the DD-20 looping, but when I'm in a looping mood, it's just not enough time and I'd like some more functionality like the boomerang has even though it's big, I like the handless operation most importantly, I'd like to be able to sample 12 bar blues accompaniment - the DD-20 forces that to be a bit of a faster tempo than I'd really ever want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say that the "16"(WITH the new mod) is EXACTLY what I think is the way for me to go. The video is excellent. And, yes, the fact that it has some whacko potential is nothing but a plus in my book. And can be used as a delay, too. Lastly, & always a nice selling point, it is relatively reasonably priced. There's a site that I've stumbled across that does some pretty nice dealing on EHX stuff. Probably gonna have to take the leap on this bad boy.
