Pedalboard/Rig show and tell

I think so

Must've been. It sold. Well now I know a target price. Ha.

Well I grabbed a TU3 and also a looper while I was at it. I was persuaded to try the Jamman XT Express over the Ditto. It's clean and seems to work well. I'll need some practice with it. One thing I noticed is that I put it in the back row of my board and that is not an easy position for a looper. I messed around with Tweeprise and it worked okay. I think it's more my timing and trying to mash a pedal in the back of the board (with bare feet no less) than any latency with the pedal. Does anyone have any experience with this looper? The guy at my local shop said he likes it better, is sturdier, and cheaper. I can still, of course,  return or exchange it.

Tc pedals are crap imo. Jamman has a good rep.

If you're just going to use it for practicing, then the Jamman XT should be great. Ditto's more for live looping I would think. Heady's right, TC stuff breaks easily and isn't designed to be repaired. Whenever I loop I count out a loud so the loops a full measure instead of just having that riff be the whole loop. It makes it easier to explain to the band. Why not just have the pedal freestanding in your practice spot? I have a Jamman Stereo and love it, build quality is great. I went with that one bc I could use it as a songwriting pad too as it saves your loop as well. Great job on the TU3!

Well one thing I want the looper for, in addition to a practice tool, is for a solo thing I'm working on. It's just open mic coffee shop kinda thing, but it's a looped version of Tweeprise. Here's an acoustic version:

The tuner did impact my tone. Definitely sounds much better.

For the one man loop stuff you may find you want to save your loops further down the line. Loopers are excellent purchases though in general, they're great jam buddies.

Glad to hear the tuner is working out, buffers in the right spots are wondahful

I want to do the guitar parts live, not prerecorded. But, I could see the value in having the drums stored in the looper rather than using a drum machine. What would you suggest for this purpose. Ideally it would still be low profile and not noisy.

For a drum machine? I'm not to uppity up on the looper game nowadays but the boss RC-3 has drum machines but I'm not sure how cheesy they are. Another possibility is using a macbook with garageband hooked up to a dedicated looper or speaker.

No not necessarily a built-in drum machine. I'm just thinking a looper that can store loops for future use, even after powering down. Also, one that can side load loops via USB. Is that what the Ditto does?

IIRC the Ditto has about 5 minutes of loop time but it cannot save. The Digitech Jamman Stereo can save about 100 of the loops w/ built-in memory, and more with an SD card. I am pretty sure it can load USB loops from your computer, but I am not sure. The beats are very cheesy on that one though.

[Jkendrick]

I could record my own beats though,  right?

[Buffered]

Yes definitely. I just run my computer into the looper and use A USB controller for beatz

[Jkendrick]

I'm going to drop the extra $50 and exchange the Jamman Express for the Jamman Solo. We'll see if it fits the bill.

[Jkendrick]

The Solo works much better for me.
