Expensive day, I can’t lie but after a quick play I’m already happy with the results. I’ve seen both of these pedals on the Andertons YouTube channel and decided they’d go well together.
First the Benson Amps Deep Sea Diver Fuzz Echo pedal. Apparently Deep Sea Diver are a band, and after some investigation maybe not my thing but I love what their signature fuzz echo pedal does.
This YouTube demo is pretty long but it’s pretty cool too
The thing is I can noodle a little with pentatonic shapes and some power chords but that doesn’t add up to much. So I decided drums were the answer but I’m not likely to learn drums as well as guitar so the Mooer GL100 seemed like a better plan.
It’s a looper that does drum patterns but it’s cleverer than that.
This evening I was quickly able to put together a loop with drums and practice my scales over it. I’m sure my loop was wonky but the pedal sorted it out (lots of fuzz and echo also helped I guess). You can get some crazy effects by adjusting the feedback level and rate dial on the fuzz echo pedal while you play. I think I’m going to have a lot of fun with these 2 pedals, even if the musical quality is questionable!
Been thinking about updating my basic TC Ditto looper for a while for one with more functions., such as drums etc. Can this one import and play mp3 backing tracks?
I’ve seen a YouTube video saying it can import backing tracks but to be honest it looked a bit of a hack and faffy too. It’s not something I’ll be using it for. It already does quite a lot for modest money. If that was something you are keen to do then I’d say investigate first as it might not do what you want
I thought the same when I watched the video… the only way my hand makes that shape is if my car rolls over it fortunately it makes cool sounds with “normal” shapes too
Indeed. I recently got one and have just really started using it. I really like it so far. It is not at all fancy. 9 channals and it just basically records and over dubs replays and stuff. You can add via usb also. I habe a keyboard with a drum machine so not worried about that.
I have beem doing a couple of things.
I take a basic 3 chord progression, 4/4 time, nice and mellow BPM. And making sure it right in time, thats been key for me. It is a lot harder than everyone makes it look once its down. Then I try to lay out either the barr chord of the same sequence, the 7th chord or the triad chips over the top of my prior recorded run. Finally when I get that all right. I pretend the looper is my rythem guitar player. I can practice a melody or solo with my own played stuff.
I also make a recording of one single chord tone, a nice 1/4 beat rythem groove. One that I am using in a song that I want to make a solo for. Then after I have that down. I loop it and work my pentatonic scale to find the notes that sound good. And work out a nice licks for it.
