Hello
I am looking to get some equipment to help me play some pre recorded guitar over our live band.
Any suggestions on what to buy?
Im not sure how this works, im looking for somthing simillar to what jamie uses in the kills or nick zinner from the yyy's, so at a certain point of the song i hit a switch and me sound will come through.
I understand that i may have problems with timeing, do i use a laptop that would put the sound through the pa, or a guitar pedal, does this go through my amp or do i need another, or can it go through the pa, im a bit lost there.
Basically i need to enhance our sound on some tracks but without getting another guitarist in. My 2nd "guitarist" is whatever my new toy will be.
All advice welcome |

There is a looping pedal that you can play a few riffs and then it is looped back when depressing the footswitch, I will get the info later, i am out of town right now. |

i can think of a couple pedals that allow you to do what you're talking about, except i've never heard the kills or the yyy's (yes, i know you mean the yeah yeah yeah's but i still haven't heard them before). if you're familiar with Battles or Don Cabalero, Ian Williams uses a Akai Headrush pedal, which is a Delay/looper pedal. but, the DigiTech JamMan Looper Pedal might be more what you need. it has 1 GB of memory available for loop storage. not sure how well it works in a live application, but that's what both pedals are made for. the headrush pedal doesn't really store loops as far as i remember, so the JamMan might actually work better for your purposes. there are some other similar products out there, though. the Headrush pedal is nice if you want a riff to keep looping while you then layer something over it. i think it allows you to loop up to 4 90 sec loops at once, but you build them as you go as opposed to prerecording them. the JamMan lets you record stuff to play along with, or at least that's how the fellow at the music shop described it to me when i was looking at perhaps getting such a pedal. hope this info helps. but, something else you might want to do is look for some articles of bands you like that you know use this type of technology to see what exactly they are using. either guitar mags or even the CD sleeve might have notes about equipment. good luck! |
