The RC50XL is better, but also more expensive

Beardyman uses a Korg Kaos Pad KP3

Ableton Live has some very advanced features for this kind of thing

Would that work with guitar ye, been meaning to look into one of them.

i've got the rc20xl, it's amazing for guitar. it'd be nice if it had midi sync though!

yes you may facepalm and yes she is music for lesbian schoolteachers

but this a schooling in how it's done. it's very impressive

i'd fucking love to hear, say, david byrne, let loose on that setup.

Modey is right, this is the one here...

all the hipster tryhard indie bands in NZ seem to be using Boss DR Samples for "textures" at the moment. Fucking annoying cos I wanted one for just triggering one-shots and the hipsters have inflated the hell out of the prices

I wont facepalm Kaini, but you coulda gone with a better example.

I'll stick with the sexy female guitarist though and give you this:

fripp is great. except I saw him open for Porcupine Tree and he did 45 minutes of soundscapes much less interesting than the one in this video. :(

I believe he uses the green Line 6 delay modeler pedal, which is a standard amongst many of my friends.

Electro Harmonix 2880 is in fact the best. And there's a professional beat boxer who uses it now. (too lazy to get the youtube links, but he used to be in the first page of results when looking for the harmonix 2880 )

I used the ol' Boomerang for a while. Sounds shit but was probably the cleanest looper, as far as not having to stomp the thing like you're killing a turtle in order to get a clean loop... It's buttons have the smallest profile of any out there (that I know of), which I grew to really like on account of minimal force needed to set a loop ....

I also used a Line 6 Tape DL4, which was decent enough. Higher button profile, but if you sort of hovered over the loop start switch, just enough to depress it's spring-loaded mechanism, you could establish a clean loop with minimal effort. Or, you can just stomp it to death. Which led to mine breaking after a year or so of abuse...

Now I have the Boss RC-20XL, which is decent.. but cumbersome, in terms of it being an industrial spring-loaded stomp box that takes some getting used to, as far as kicking in a clean loop.

I would really want to go the software route. Jamie Lidell uses a custom patch in Max/MSP, and the few times I've seen him, it's a pretty robust and effective method. Sadly ... it's a hefty DIY project.

Tim Exile of course, does his thing in Reaktor: (more DIY headaches)

Back to more standard approaches, there's Camille, who's pretty unique in her musical stylings and beatboxing: (not sure what she uses though, looks like a Korg MS1)

have you looked into software looping plugins like mobius? ive looked around for a long time and its got the most customizable features and power after the few days research I did. Ive tried some simpler live loopers that worked well but for a lot of reasons zone mobius is definitely gonna be what im gonna learn when im getting ready to loop on stage.

check it out.
