sweet! I have often wondered how he did this. The onlly thing I could think of was to start recording on the rang and then go to the whammy and do your thing. Then go back and stop the loop ohn the rang. Now you could go to the DM2000 and sample what the rang is playing and then hit the hold.

Hey Poster,
I have been trying to do this for a while now, I have found a way that might be easier to do. I have tried to do it that way and it takes a long time to set the loop and it seems like trey does it almost instantly, also it is a lot of tap dancing on the pedals, your way might be the way trey does it but i think the way i do it is easier. I have the GCX ground control pro in front of me and they act just like treys bradshaw buttons (it runs all my rack gear, I can change all my settings on my rack gear without turning around or bending down). I have my 8th button set to hold on my DM2000 what i do is set a bend through the hold on my DM then quickly tap on and off on my boomerang, then i can bypass the Dm 2000 by pressing my second button on my ground control but the hold is still set while the boomerang is looping the pitch bend. I can turn on my Dm again and use the modulate (my 7th button) to use the siren sounding effect that trey does a lot at the end of his jams or to change keys or rythmic patterns.
Any way you do it takes a lot of time and precise timing, but when I started to get good at this type of stuff the jams in my band were really much more full and allowed me to noodle a lot more on my guitar becuase the loop is acting as a rythm track. I play i a three piece right at the moment and before this the jam sounded thin, and it was hard to take off becuase there is a lot of dead air when their isnt a rythm a rythm track.
Good Luck with this stuff it takes hours of fucking up your bands jams before you can get it to sound right and be able to use it while playing with other people.

I played around today with looping the pitch bend and was able to pull it off quite easily using my E-1 headrush delay. First I tap in the tempo on the E-1. now when I want to loop it I simply hit the switch to turn on the E-1 and make my pitch bend on the whammy. The E-1 imediatley starts to repeat it. Now I hit record on the boomerang and then once more to finsh the loop. now it's in the boomerang and I can turn the delay off.

Basically I record it into the delay then record that into the boomerang. Very easy to do and never miss a beat

yeah thats exactly what i do as well, but with the buttons in front i can keep the loop on the DM but bypass it, so the only loop bend making sound is the boomerrang, but the delay is still set on my DM so i can go bac and fuck around with it later.

your right its really easy,

+1 on looping the delay. I use a 3 second delay and use a tap tempo. Hit record when the pitch bend plays, and then hit it again to stop recording, as you all said. Funk sirens at our fingertips!!

I actually do it the original way now... I have it in a loop... I turn that loop off and press record on the boomerang so I can continue to play while I am setting the record time... Once I have the record time set I turn on jthe loop and just simply tap stack... Pull the whammy back... And hit stack again... It takes no time at all

I do it this way because I can still continue to play and not spend half the jam trying to get the loop set... Try it out if you have any type of loop pedal or audio switcher

I start a delay loop on my DM2000 Pitch bending and using the hold function and then on my Line 6 M13 its as easy as tapping the record overdub switch to loop the delay loop from the DM2000.
