Actually Col., these days I, too, play many of my gigs with an mp3 player for backup, since the human ones keep dying off. I have six sets and an encore file, yeah I get 'em, and if I'm wearing my glasses, I can navigate it pretty smoothly. It keeps me sharp and it makes playing with live bands all the more exciting when the opportunity arises. If I could teach it to drive home, it would be perfect.

Right, I only wish I was born in the computer age. I even skipped typing. I had to buy a looper that didn't store loops before it dawned on me it wasn't helping me drive home on roons. :)

Those 15-seconds are motivating.
Loopers are cool. Add a drum pattern and you have a one man band.
The looper is like a drill sergeant; is that all you got? Give me more!!!

No offense to those who choose to play without a full band but, yes look behind you, the big but is some people like myself dont really care to play those kind of gigs. I leave them all for you loopers, samplers, pre-recorded accompaniment track whores & kareoke artists that only care about playing as often as possible & being the center of attention for a couple of hours. Hardee
har har, Arse dat $#!T. That wasn't offensive at all was it?? One drummer that I play with regularly screws the rest of the band over come summertime so he can whore himself out for money doing resort gigs to prerecorded arrangements with an old mass-song-murdering no name wanna be that gives real musicians a bad rap. Yep, anybody can play to recorded tracks and while you might be good enough sounding to the uneducated (mostly in thanks to those pre-recorded tracks and sampled programmed whatever) any real musician, (including you Col, I heard you play n sign) will be rollin their eyes and running for the door after 2 - 3 butcherings of songs we all know & love.
While I love that drummer like the retarded older brother I never got to have as my own growing up, I hate him for selling 3 other people out in the band so he can whore himself out & effectively put that band out of work for 3 months or so every year playing to pre-recorded accompaniment. But hey, he's playing right? Isn't that all that matters? No! What's missing is the integrity & respect element. Including the matter of self respect which he will freely admit he's short on & isn't as important to him as making money and playing. But mostly making money like any successful whore.
Playing music means different things to different people. Why I may be busting balls here & could go another mile while pile driving all the dirty bits ballz deep into whoever will feel the sting, I wont. I get it. Some people just want to play. And some people prefer to play in a band situation. It doesn't matter what is better as it s about individual prefference so the really is no 'better' here. If you like playing without a real live band who the hell am I to say that sucks.??
Even though I can joke about it, I got no problem with you guys who do it. Except for my a-hole drummer that screws me over 3 months every year. He's a jerk of a whore drummer! But I expect such limited thought from drummers! Just sayin. Have fun with this one yall.

I'm not offended, I still play with a full band as much as possible and do prefer it. And I can be the center of attention in a band anyway, so it's no ego advantage!
However the loop allows me to play more solo gigs and be happier doing them!
BTW, I don't use pre-recorded loops, it's all done live.

I get ya Dave. And I do get that there is a big difference. I hope it was understood by others that I was trying to be funny & provocative at the same time. I appreciate that you got it Dave but did everyone else??
But on the other hand, I aint gonna be affended if someone wants to shoot a volley attack back at me in the same playful like manner. It was playful wasnt it ? You panty wasted loopers?? You bandkillers that think,...'who needs to pay a drummer we have a click track & patch beats we can use' ? Comon n fight all you gig hungry egomaniacs that forgo & forsake your bandmates so you get more jobs & make more money with out them bastards. You are like the Polar Bear that's faced with famine that turns on its own kind for food! Who cares if others starve or even die, I'm hungry & I wanna eat! I like eating. Eating my own kind, even eating those of my own family is better than me not eating at all isn't it?
Oh yes, way worse than loopers. You are absolved Dave.We now return to our regularly scheduled programing, 'Biddlins Blues Knight Sleepover' now in progress. Warning! This program contains adult content, partial nudity & the same chord changes until those watching fall asleep, kill themselves or turn off this channel and take up writing novels that don't actually get completed for fat cash advances.
Sorry B. You know I love ya. That's for the wang bar pud. Or is it pun? Hmm...

Dave, since you are an Italian-Jew, I suggest drinking a bottle of Manischewitz before logging onto this forum, then you will be in fact severely offended by Barry Bojangle's epic posts & your posts will be much more wordy and interesting.
Here's a tune to jam on your Wangcaster while using a looper.

I can't drink the Manischewitz, it's artificially colored and flavored. My own rules of kosher include organic. Thanks, though!

This has gotten loopy. Since getting so Manischezfaced & looped, the hard part will be not repeating ourselves. The hard part will be not repeating the hard part, the hard part, the hard part, the hard part.

what's this got to do to do to do with looping
But they're not whole grain.
I never get the point of organic white flour....it still lacks the full nutrients and fiber.
I can't think of any way to relate this to loop pedals except that I am having fun using the Peavey Vypyr VIP-2's built-in 30 sec loop feature.
It even plays the loop back the same if you switch patches to another amp model.

Just buy the damn Matzah crackers and stuff your face organically.
Manischewitz after!
After that, time will cease to exist and you will be caught into a Groundhog Day loop. Your cherished Peavy VYpfvckme VIP-2some pedal should last you a lifetime including the battery...it can never die because time doesn't exist.

I've never tried to synch up two loops. that could be very cool - or a disaster!
It's worth a try.

Yes, that's one of the pleasures of CA life....good wines.
Here's one for you wine drinkers - it's not that hard to find a good bottle of expensive wine.
BUT
It takes skill to find a good bottle of cheap wine.
In the old days it was Torres' "Sangre de Toro", that wonderful Spanish red with the little plastic bulls hanging from the bottle for $2.99.
These days I've been drinking a Trader Joe's import, Archaeo "Nero d' Avola" from Sicily.
$3.99 a bottle, and it's a lovely full-bodied red.
