Jim Swalley replied to higgs's discussion Looper advice needed"Try Band in a Box. A friend of mine does solo gigs with one. He will usually record himself in two loops and then play them back when he does the song. It sounds like he has two guys doing backing vocals. You close your eyes…"

higgs replied to higgs's discussion Looper advice needed"I agree with you, Tom. I do not want a bunch of pre recorded clips. I like real live music and the looper is borderline, but if it is recording of what I just played a few seconds ago - I am willing to go with it. I really dislike…"
tom blegen replied to higgs's discussion Looper advice needed"I believe most loopers are designed to do just what you're looking for and much more. I've seen some in use made by Digitech, Boss, and Line 6, but lots more come up in a search. All the demos I've seen go crazy with all…"

I am considering a looper for my solo act. I don't want to store loops, I just want to step on the looper and have it record a verse of the song so I can play a lead over the rhythm the next time the progression comes around.

Preconcieved predjudices guide many, but if they are happy with their choice then they have the best guitar."
higgs replied to Newbie Dean's discussion Top Guitars"Got it. There's a lot of good guitars out there and $ is not necessarily the the best guitar - nor is the reputation of the builder. this gives you a lot of good suggestions of what to go out and try."
higgs replied to Newbie Dean's discussion Top Guitars"This is like asking, "What is the nicest looking color" or "What food tastes best"? No answere works and that is what makes things so much fun. If we all agreed on what guitar was best, there would only be one company…"
