Word on the onboard effects. That's why I've been looking for the simplest looper without the extra bullshit. I wonder if they figure that the damn thing wouldn't sell if it didn't have extra effects with it... I'd prefer it without. But, if I'm not mistaken, isn't this a tune-down version of a bigger Vox device?


Anyway, that's why I think I'm still set on the SMMH if I can find a good deal... the delays in it are going to be high-quality (if I need them), and the looper is very simple, WITH the ability to use the delays with the looper.

yeah, the li'l looper is a smaller version of their Dynamic Looper. i just want them to come out with like a REALLY good looper, because so far each one just seems like a miniature Boomerang. and if they just make like a vox version, that'd be tits

I have acquired a multi pedal that has 4 second delay and I am making the sickest loops right now by leaving the Feedback at 100 and turning the Time from 4 seconds down in intervals to 3 and back while the loop plays... I can also vary the Feedback with the built in expression pedal... Shit is sounding mega Max/Msp ish guitar folding... Running that through the Valco Come Again... Will record...

I'm looking into the M9 currently, in need of a touring pedalboard/rig for overseas shenanigans. How do the guys rate the looper on it? I can rejig more or less anything I'm doing to suit whatever I've got at hand, but I was wondering if you can send the loops in stereo, and if you can stick the looper inbetween effects or if it's solely a beginning/end of chain deal?

The loop is mono but you can use fx before or after the loop. Pretty awesome.

I keep my 'Rang Plus at the end of my chain, but also in my chk chk boom's loop, and whenever I can, I bum one of my roommate's other loopers and put it after the 'Rang still in the loop. I make oddly-time soundscapy stuff for the most part. With the feedback loop, I'm able to apply effects before the looper in the chain to already-recorded loops. It's a mess of fun. I need to invest in a second main looper..and I really want a 'Rang III :/ Or if that Looperlative LP2 ever comes out..........................

But, the 'Rang Plus is an infinite amount of fun. I have the Loop B set to longerish delay-style decay times, and I use it like a sometimes glitchy tap-tempo echoparty. I dislike how if I make the delay time too short, it always gets this annoying clicking pulse to it. It's nice and rhythmic, but overall, I wish it'd go away.

This feedback loop thing. It interests me. so, you're saying there's a way to have the same effects both before and after the loops in the chain?

Awesome.

i've been thinking about picking up a second octave pedal for before the looper, as the times I've spent playing through the HOG and nothing but it have made me love the idea of a chin-cello.

The III has an option to get rid of that pulse thing. It's due to little 10ms volume ramps designed to help even out the loops and make things seem more together, but it doesn't really help with droney/soundscapey loops.
I play.

As long as said effect behaves mostly normal in the FB loop. It's not a foolproof method, I've just been monkeying around with dif. ideas.

I really want a III. Real bad.

I got a Korg Micro-Sampler and a Boss SP 505 that I am going to hook up to my new Moog Opus and Minitaur and try to make some loops... I'm thinking that I might try the limited 4 track sequencer from the 505 on the Minitaur and use the Micro-Sampler to capture the Opus and make some lil loops... The guy I got the MS from was using it to make short loop sections of a song and then playing them back to create the whole song but I don't really sample that way... The MS has the built in Mic that makes it great for capturing short perc. type sounds to use as a Sample only Drum Machine... I am just figuring out how to use the MS the way that works best for me... There are different modes and it's kind of a snapshot of a the samplers from the past...

Does anyone else have a Korg Micro-Sampler??? Tips, tricks, or shit talking is welcome...

I missed this..the Boomerang III has an exression jack to control the decay rate (or loop volume), so perhaps this could be possible, hrm? I mean its not all degradationy and Basinski, but it's something. All the more GAS I get for a 'Rang III...
