[RWP] Please Guitarists, Recommendation for Looper Pedal

[Jes]

Indigo, I am not sure about an answer to your question, but I think 
this list may be dying off. It may be coming to its end. It is not 
normal for the list to be this quiet and have almost zero replies in 
the last 48 hours. Of course, this may be just me.

Original message:
> Hi everyone,
> I've been entirely acoustic for a while, happily making long long bamboo
> flutes and wooden slit drums.
> This morning I rigged a flute neck strap so I could play the flute with
> 1 hand and the drum with the other, and tuned the fundamental of the
> flutes to the fundamental of the drum.
> I'm about ready to record on a looper pedal, one that records in 24
> bits, hopefully 96K, which I could do with PC and Reaper, but a pedal's
> handier, or maybe I should say footier.
> This amazing slit drum has become like a real percussion synthesizer,
> with an infinitude of notes and steel-drum-like chords, all
> complementing and in tune with each other.
> I installed a couple of screws on the back edge, of the drum's wooden
> box, with a screendoor spring stretched between the screws, across the
> soundboard, so I get a built-in no-batteries-required spring reverb,
> plus if I hit harder at certain places I get a slapback, or a snare
> effect, depending on where and how hard I hit.
> It even bends notes when I both press on tongues and hit tongues
> simultaneously, and pressing different positions, like frets, along the
> length of the screendoor spring raises the whole drum's resonant
> frequency, plus choking off the drum's sound port radically affects its
> resonance, pitch and timbre.
> Anyway, at the moment I'm having a good time with these low-tech
> devices, but need recommendations on what's currently the clearest
> recording guitar looper pedal, with enough memory for a decent number of
> discreet tracks.
> I already own a couple of pedals that include a sound-on-sound type
> looper, where there's only 1 loop, so previous recordings deteriorate in
> quality as you make new recordings, so don't need another of that type
> of looper, but want one that does entirely discreet stereo recordings,
> all run from a foot, requiring no button presses from fingers to select
> and begin playing previous trax and begin recording the next new track.

> Any pointers, anyone?
> Thanks,
> Indi
