If you don't have a loop machine, you're really missing out on a piece that can make you a better guitarist. For the guitar newbies, a loop machine is a little fx like box that you can play a rythem into, and then practice your lead guitar scales over that rythem. I has taken me froma Tom Petty rythem guy to a Jerry Garcia smooth improvisationalist. Well, I'm still working on the smoothness part, but it is the bomb for provoking you to practice for hours at a time. Before I had a loop machine, I would just go thru my songs. Now I play for hors strait. It's the difference from being a mediocre player to becoming a great player.
I bought a boomerang for $430 a couple yrs ago and now I have an Akia riff-o-matic I bought a couple months ago for $90? Might have been $70 bucks. I think the akai riff-o-matic is better than the boomerang becasue the boomerang's sound was kinda digitally, but the riff-o-matic's sound is i input comes out exactly the same sound I put into it. I traded my boomerang for a tak acoustic and regretted it real bad, but then I found the riff-o-matic and it is even better, though with the boomerang you can input 7 different guitar pieces on top of each other, but i don't have much use for that, so the riff-o-matic is all I really need, but with the riff I have to get a spitter and have two chrods out of my guitar, one into the record jack and the other into the play along jack , but now I FOUND OUT THAT AKAI HAS A TAP TEMPO LOOP MACHINE CALLED THE E1 HEADRUSH. THAT IS THE BEST ONE TO GET. IT'LL GIVE YOU THE SAME HIGH QUALITY SOUND AS THE RIFF O MATIC. Now the boomerang went up to a 1 minute rythem riff you could input then play lead over. With the riff and headrush pedals, then only go up to 23.8 seconds of rythem you can sample, but with all my soungs, the rythem loops i play are not that long, even on my slow melodic numbers, so if you want a good loop pedal for cheap, go on ebay and see if they have the headrush pedal by akai. You could go with the echoplex too. I think it's gibson that makes that and that is a pretty popular one, but it costs like 7 or 8 hundred bucks. so you newbies out there, go get choo a headrush and be the bomb of a player you were ment to be.........
