That would be pretty sweet. Also, if you have as many instruments as Keller a nice Freekshow loop would be so much fun. But sadly, that would cost too much money.

well, i think i would use a loop machine most by starting most songs by drumming a beat on the back of the guitar and then looping it. it would add percussion to the acoustic stuff i play and it would act like a metronome. i also had the idea of getting an old beater acoustic and putting bongo drum heads in the sides of it, big one of the bottom right of the guitar (for easy right hand access) and the small up up where say a preamp would bee, the body of the guitar would let them resonate really well, i just dont know if it would affect sound too much, i cant imagine itd be much more than a preamp.

i know you have to step on the pedal and play simultaneously so you dont get that gap of silence, there is lots of cool shit you can do with it, just experiment, scratch the strings slap the guitar and go

ok ive got a tip for you beginners on the rc 20...i have it and i stll suck at doin it regularly because of the timing but if you use the auto start mode, it will record automatically when you start so just play the riff thru 4 times or whatever and press stop on the beat when the riff should star over...

then obviously just use the overdub function to start start over dubbing melodies or whatever. also cool to add some beats by turning the timer beat on the machine all the way down and then makin your own beat by tappin on the guitar(acoustic) or strings muted(electric). hope that helped

yeah last night i was slowly progressing to the 4 times through then press pedal. I had it at 3. Any more tips or suggestions? Has anyone played Ghost on it? I guess what i am trying to figure out is the fact my Crate Acoustic amp comes with effects and i have it so it echoes during my guitar slaps. But i cant seem to get the rhythm striaght.

ok when u guys play on this do yall notice even with four beats it still sounds like it "starts" over you know the sound im talking about like a skipping record. What can i do? I am trying to use this to play ghost into beams of light
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
