How To Use a Loop Pedal On Guitar (easy!)

Рет қаралды 8,003

Күн бұрын

In follow up to my video on my favorite loop pedals, I thought I would make you guys a straightforward video on how to actually create a loop! My top tip is to give yourself time- using a loop pedal can be a humbling experience! You might think you have good timing, but the loop pedal will be sure to point out all your timing imperfections! haha Anyway, hope you have fun with this, and thanks for watching!
Looper I'm using here: TC Electronic Ditto Looper:

The hardest thing to understand here is how you don't have a million subscribers. You will! Keep up the great work.

Greetings from Hungary! I found your other looper video when I was looking up a few videos on the Ditto. Nice job explaining the various things to look out for... I second most of them. I've so far only ever played with one looper (the Digitech Jamman) and that one doesn't have quantizing functions. It definitely takes a bit of practice to get used to hitting the "1" correctly each time. Your demo here is excellent, nice playing! That's a beautiful finish on your guitar too.

Great lesson well done! You are hitting every detail I struggled with also. When you said “right on the one” my brain immediately thought “yeah 😂 ESPECIALLY when it’s NOT the one”. …like when it flows better with the song to start the loop on a pickup note or on the TWO…. still ONE to the players stomping foot. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Great tone!

Great tutorial! And I like the style. Are you following a certain pentatonic or scale for the solo? New to soloing so wondering how you ended up there.

IS there anyway you can control the volume knob externally? i would like to record some percussive sounds and would like to control its dynamics throughout the song while i keep playing the guitar. Can it be done? Thank you very much for your help.

@haleypowersmusic 2 ай бұрын

Yes there is a volume knob that you can control how loud each loop is but I think on this one it would be sort of a pain to bend over and change that every time you did a new loop. For that type of thing, I might look at one from Boss or check out the new one from Ed Sheeran that has more control options!

Is it easier to do with a separate stop button like on the TC Electronic Ditto X2 Looper ?

@haleypowersmusic 2 ай бұрын

I think it would be! I don’t have that one (yet!) but I think that would definitely be easier!

@letaviaedits 10 ай бұрын

hello! i have a similar vox combo, although it is the pathfinder 10, which only has one input. can i buy a pedal that has 2 inputs (guitar and microphone) and somehow still connect the pedal's output into the pathfinder 10?

@haleypowersmusic 10 ай бұрын

Hi! Oh good question- you know I think you probably could but it might just take some researching to get the right thing. I had a similar issue recently and ended up coming with a work around using a Y cable and an adapter and such to make it all work but it did the job. I bet you could figure something out!

@letaviaedits 10 ай бұрын

@@haleypowersmusic thank you! actually Chatgpt mentioned the y cable too, so I might as well believe it now that you said it 😁
