Here's a top tip - shouting at Pro Tools actually makes it work.   |

Does anyone on here (looks pointedly at Matt) have a Vox VDL-1? Or have experience of it? My younger boy is rather fancying one.

I really want to get a looper...but whenever I look at them my gear-lust kicks-in and I end-up at the top off the Boss range looking at the RC300...then the price-tag kills the deal.
Maybe Santa will help...

I've never used it (I have an Akia looper) and I know for a fact that Matt Stevens' looper pedal of choice is made by Line 6. That said, the looper pedals are pretty similar nowadays in terms of functionality. May I ask what your sone wants to use it fo? I ask as I could give it a look online and see if there are any better or cheaper alternatives out there based upon what he wants to do with it. |

Er, he wants to use it for looping. Duh!
I believe the functionality he is most interested in is the straight "record a bit of something, then play it back (same speed) and play something else over it" but the effects are interesting as well. He's got a Boss multi-effect-y thingy which is, apparently, getting a bit tired now, and fancies the effects on the Vox pedal. I can't remember the model of the Boss one, but it was about £100 about 4/5 years ago.

Sorry Catherine, I should have been more specific. Is your son going to use the looper for live work, studio work or a bit of both?
There are loads of looping pedals out there and most are configured for use live. The Vox certainly seems to be one that allows you a lot of flexibility building up loops but as it lacks a USB connection, there is no direct digital transfer of the looped audio. That means the only way you can record sounds is via the audio out. Although not a disaster, it does mean it's limited to the simple 'hit record and play' methodology.
If that is all your son is interested in then it's a great pedal but if he's out live and wants to capture something he's played, then he'll be out of luck (unless he's got a recording device hooked up all the time naturally).

He's largely wanting it for music practice and composition purposes. He's not really got into studio stuff yet (which is a relief because that could get REALLY expensive) and is wanting it to help with his GCSE composition exercise in which he has to produce some music for 2 instruments - most likely 2 guitars. That, and for a bit of fun!
