phychi « Superb Looper! »
Published on 12/14/13 at 02:20Then clarify input: this looper is addressed only guitarist / bassist, although it is possible to "tweak" to put something else. So my only regret (which I did not put 10/10) is missing entries ... but it is the philosophy of the craft: simple and effective
So it's a looper that has a stereo input (so we can put two monos) and a stereo output (mono or mixed if we left out!). It has inputs and outputs noon and is capable of synchronizing loops on the fourth time since midday source.
If you have access to 4 loops through 3 pedals + 2 pedals "bonus" configurable wish and easily (once you read the doc a little English anyway!)
There are no "permanent" memory, so it is the LIVE and must be recorded loops every time!
Unlike RC-300 that I've tried in stores, it is not coffee, but only loops ... but he does well and the pedals are superb precision and efficiency!
UTILIZATION
Must do some tests initially to understand the 4 modes of loops:
Serial: is triggered recording loops 1,2 or 4 first. Then, when you can change the tape loop on the corresponding pedal, dice the end of the loop it goes to the next! It's very cool to double with a riff that bridges between verse and chorus. With 4 loops so it gives: verse, chorus, bridge and back solo (for example)!
Serial Sync: same as before, but it starts recording the loop 3 is master! The other loops are synchronized over. Must be limited to one or two steps to the first loop, otherwise it is hard to manage because the other loops are multiples of this basic loop.
Sync (it turns Sync Mode + Free depart): we start with the loop 3. The difference with the previous mode is that you can play all 4 loops at the same time (or 1 or 2 or 3). Great for jam!
Free: then there is initiated with 1,2 or 4 loops and then everything is "free", the loops are not synchronized, you do what you can and it can quickly become very psychedelic (what is wanted and assumed by the manufacturer!).
Small important detail: unpacking there is no way to trigger the loop 4! In fact it must be assigned one of two pedals "bonus" (I recommend the yellow!). The better is then to assign the green pedal to erase (to change the content of the loops being song).
the pedals are really super accurate ... but I've said.
SOUND QUALITY
All users and testers consider it one of the pedals that gives the best sound. Processing 20-bit 48 KHz there is certainly no stranger!
Anyway for me the sound is just perfect, it is used with a guitar or bass!
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a week and it's already a huge leap in quality and opportunities in relation to the Jamman Stereo Line 6 JM4 + I had before. With two separate devices, synchronize loops was really impossible mission and pedals are much more accurate and responsive than other switches metal pedals.
I kept in my Jamman looper pedal for my voice on some tunes and jamming with backings at home, but absent registration or memory does not bother me at all with the boomerang.
The device seems expensive compared to an RC-300 which offers full effects "Squeaky", but to use it really seems much more cut out for the stage by focusing on the essential: the loops and their timing!
I would do this choice without hesitation and the only downside is that you buy in the U.S. because there is no den importer France! It is a pity that really stands apart in its category
