moixjj « The looping for dummies (like me) »
Published on 11/29/14 at 01:40I will not repeat the features already very well detailed by my co-religionists. I will focus on my mind to direct people who would hesitate to buy one.
It's hard to write about its features that are worth the price and its target audience: beginners looping and hackers at home.
UTILIZATION
Configuration is as simple. I started to feel the looping with this pedal. I play bass and guitar. It allowed me to have fun at home by combining percussive layers, rhythm, riffs of bass and guitar riffs. It happens very easily to a very convincing result. However, as noted by other users, set the level to 14h or 15h to have a volume that corresponds to that of the input. It is a curious absence knowing TC Electronic, especially since it should not be difficult to correct.
Where it is a nice pedal for a beginner like me, is that it allows quick and fun to be "educational". But they all want to be able to have more control over the loops. Especially to mutate and restart loops of their choice ... or can stop the sound in one click (Second big flaw of the pedal).
The need to move to another level is felt as soon as you try to use it as a group. I invite the reader to read the previous opinions that address the topic extensively. Say to summarize, this is not a pedal for group play ... even less in concert. It is far too limited for that.
SOUND QUALITY
No complaints about the sound quality is at the rendezvous. Whether on guitar, bass, the sound is made. It's a little bit to pick up when we play in rehearsal on a big bass stack with a big sound dub ... but as I said, it's not really made for that. On a small system at home is frankly beyond reproach.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few months. This is my first looper and I will keep it to hack at home, use for which it excels, especially at this price. For group play, it would erase two flaws: the volume knob and tap to stop playing the pedal. And to be really usable in concert, it would take several "channels" in parallel (3 or 4) in order to have more control over each of the loops.
The value for fun solo and discover the world of looping with a reliable tool without being disgusted by a gas plant is frankly very correct. I advise very strongly for that use.
