bought myself a loop pedal last week which i think has sent me down the pedal rabbit hole... felt i needed i a delay pedal and a reverb pedal as well so bought those too. Where will it end?

I am considering a looper but I'm tight as a gnat's chuff. Already have a device that will do 90 second loops but fancy something more unrestricted

I'm still getting my head around this old box, hit and hope really as never have the patience to learn how to use it properly. £20 mind you.

I have the simpler RP80. All the pre-set effects sound terrible and creating my own, even if it's just a simple reverb or delay without all the amp models and such is such a pain in the arse it's not worth bothering. I'll be donating it to a charity shop soon.

Do you have a user manual??

@Grant Fondo My looper is on a matribox and the effects are pretty good & tweakable. Though it does take a bit YT time to figure out how to work it...

same here. I got a 2nd hand one of ebay for £60 (a new one was £100-120ish)... but since i was using the delay and reverb on my amp, I then need separate pedals to go in front of the looper rather than after it, so that was another £50, plus a few patch cables (£8) and a daisy chain (£6)... it's all starting to mount up.
Can you overdub on your device? I can't imagine ever needing more than 90 seconds. I can't imagine looping more than 12 bars.

Starting to learn the bassline to YYZ.
This has taught me two things - I have too much time on my hands, and Geddy Lee is a God.

Pretty sure yo can, not figured out how. 90 seconds is usually enough if I do a bass loop

I’ve gone back to trying to learn the intro for Nothing else matters, my god it sounds not too hard but in reality just that first part of the song before the vocals start is damned hard, but I think it’s slowly starting to click, how James Hetfield does it live is beyond me, the lesson is on Justin Guitar and he’s split it in to three lessons!

Anyone happen to know what pedals Steve Hillage used on Fish Rising and the Gong teapot trilogy?
I particular I'm trying to figure out if it's delay or echo or some combo of various pedals.
I have a good wah, and reasonable budget flanger and phaser.

I'm trying the exact same thing! Love a bit of Hillfish... it's definitely delay behind this sort of sound:
As an aside, Howlett's bass playing is second to none. Can't get enough of him.

Whole band is on the nail
Seen the man play his guitars, especially with Gong, quite a bit in the last 20 or so years, wish I could have been at a gig like this (want that effect at 3:15)
