Any loopers users there?

2006-05-28 by Oscar

I have just purchased a looper device (Digitech Jamman) and tried to see 
what It could do for me. 

One useful thing for me is being able to record tracks "on the fly" thanks to its overdubbing function.
I have recorded some tests: one was the Blade Runner End credits theme. I really love it,
and I will do it for serious soon, but this is a test for the moment:

Basically it is the melody plus some noises...

Do anyone here uses any looper device? 
Which one/s? And what could you tell us about it/them?

Oscar

  No hot wiring!

  At first I just sprayed repellent on the pitch antenna.  However, actually
  touching the volume antenna makes the pitch go wild on most Theremins. 
  Normally this is not audible because when the volume antenna is touched 
  it
  isn't audible anyway.  However, thru a pitch preview one can hear the pitch
  changes when touching the volume loop.  So, much to my surprise, when bugs
  touched the volume loop a pitch jump was audible.

  Oh, the amount of the change is directly proportional to the size of the bug.
