My buddy Andy, a better guitarist than I am though he probably won’t admit it, has suggested I play around with a looper, specifically the Ditto. He really likes the simplicity of it. I’ve actually got a looper on my Trio+, but it always sounds a bit muddy to me. Now keep in mind, I often sound muddy to me, so I’m not suggesting it’s the pedal, it’s me, but I did get to thinking maybe simpler is better to start.
So I’m willing to give it a shot. Basically I want something that’ll improve my rhythm. I do use a metronome but I also like the idea of looping some chords and playing over them. I do that right now with my Trio+, with Band in a Box (I love biab), and even with GarageBand and Logic Pro X. All of those work, heck. so does recording with my phone. But I’m looking for something to use quickly, easily, and with a minimum of fuss. I’ve been assured this is the real deal.
We’ll see.
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
