and depending on what type of music you make, you could set the loop length first, then bring up your volume and start to play into the loop. that way you don’t have to do any clicking of buttons or foot-switches with an open mic.

@darkaxel yeah im not completely sold on the dan echo either – but for now it does the job – i would rather have an analog delay in its spot. i plan on getting a dmb when i can raise the funds.

@friedjesseradio yeah, i shot it with a wide angle lens, so the edges get a bit distorted – and the ernie balls are huge to begin with, but i assure you it is normal size
