Looper Pedal/Importing External files

Yep I agree. Personally I think GAS is going to hit the Fret Net with a major epidemic in a few days. There will be no mercy and no antidote, or short-term recovery. We must help each other through these times of necessity and passion. We only have each other to rely on. No one else understands our needs.

Look at poor SuperSwede. GAS has already hit with devastation. We all need GAS counseling to make it through the holidays and sales that will be thrown in our faces. Dang man, I’m getting depressed!!!

I just wanna buy something. Even if it's not a guitar. I'm thinking of tuner pedals at the moment.....

I too am finally finished shopping for my wife. I usually am out there last minute also. It's funny because after getting the looper from her and the kids I guess subconsciously I wanted to get her gifts right away too. haha

I'm getting antsy now because everyday I come here and people are getting early Christmas presents of nice guitars. I need to buy something!

Go get the 60th Strat, go buy the Strat, go buy the Strat. (just kidding, stick to your discipline unless you are really right with the purchase).

And you really think they listened. I would not be surprise if it were not already in the Orlando newspaper.

Crowd of soccer moms. LMAO

Alright I had to buy a slightly used Boss TU-2 tuner pedal. Got a pretty good deal on it. 50% off. Never having a tuner pedal I have to say it's really neat. Spud I finally broke down and bought a Boss PSA 120T. Now I just need that daisy chain setup you showed me. I got one from the store but it's not all linked like the one you told me about so that goes back.

Tim- guess what...I still haven't tried the importing yet. I will though as soon as this DVD is over.

[warren0728]

i would love to come help you....wish i had the time. I had a blast doing our music room!

[SuperSwede]

Tone, I know that your studio will be as awesome as your Les Paul Studio! Pick up that hammer and start building asap!

[Tone2TheBone]

Thanks Swede. After the holidays and ground freeze I gotta start digging the footings.

Warren - Man I wish you could help me plan the room decor! Imagine the empty beer bottles we'd collect all over the place while we consulted!

I came across this site which has different patterns of acoustic and electric guitar loops to use with different loop pedals. Click on the three guitars on the right under "Guitar Loops"

http://www.guitarnotes.com/links/rgo...ank=2.0&rnum=0


I have one question about migrating one of these guitar loops and importing it into a RC-2 with the built-in guide drum loops. Do you set the guide drum loop first and then import the guitar loop, or do you import the guitar loop then set the guide drum loop? I believe there is a benefit to do one first, but I am not sure which is the best practice.

Hey Tim,

The manual says to put the mode knob on Auto. The pedal is supposed to receive a signal from the input of the mini cable and will automatically start recording when it senses a signal coming in. I tried this and it never started recording. The playback from the iPod was real weak....you could barely hear anything which is why the reasoning behind the cable with resistors makes sense. In the troubleshooting part of the manual it does mention a low audible audio signal being the culprit for a cable with resistors. Hmmmmm

I think I'll email Boss directly.

Tim: Thanks for the link. I will try it for my RC20XL. As to the above, I had the same problem trying to import an Oldguy BT I had on my iPod. Volume way low, etc. The fix on the RC20XL was to switch the mode button input to "normal" rather than lighting up the instrument and mic light. Then it did not matter whether my guitar cable was plugged in or not. Imported just fine, then I saved it. I think I used auto start, but I know on another track, I just it the record button on the pedal and play button on the iPod at the same time. Pretty amazing what you can do! Now I can jam along virtually with a guy in Canada in the privacy of my own home.

P.S. did you ever get your guide drum loop question answered or figure it out? I would like to know how to handle that too.

[Tone2TheBone]

......I've yet to try importing loops from my iPod. It's been since when...my birfday? I also haven't tested out whatever it was tOt wanted me to test out.....

I did manage to record about 5 loops though with drums bass and rhythm guitar right after I got it. Of course I haven't done any more than that since then though....

The iPod thing works great!! I tend to download here, load onto the iPod via iTunes, bring it home, and there you go. The home computer has no space for screaming solos from amphs on its hard drive. The iPod solves that for me. Now, I might like to trade my aging iPod for your talent on drums, bass and rhythm guitar if you are interested!
