Yep, another new pedal day for me (actually, I can't remember what I've posted about, so it might be several new pedals...)

Firstly, there's the Zoom MS-70CDR.  Bought this because I wanted something to stick in the FX loop for the odd time I need some chorus (Police covers etc), but it's a really good pedal.  A little complex to use on stage, and something that needs setting up before hand.  But the basic sounds are really good.

Then there's the Ibanex Weeping Demon!  I've got a love/hate relationship with wah pedals - had a Bad Horsie for all of 3 hours before I got shot of it - but this one seems to work for me.  Good controlable sounds, works well clean as well as overdriven.

Finally, there's the DigiTech Jam Man Solo, which turned up yesterday.  I place in a 3 piece, and I can see this coming in handy, if I can manage to get my feet coordinated enough!  Like the Zoom pedal, it's complex - but they've done a decent job of making the basic functions accessible for live work.

All in all, very pleased!

Nice, congrats! What is the JamMan? Some kinda looper pedal?

Yep.  It's pretty good, although there are limitations.  For example, you record a loop, switch channels on your amp to play some nice gritty lead over it, and the backing (obviously) plays into the dirt channel too!  No issue with a 2 channel/2 input amp, I guess...

But it's fun figuring it all out!

That's cool! If I were playing in a gigging band (instead of the recording-only project I started last year) I would probably have a couple loopers and some OTT MIDI switching going on. =p

I would be interested in how you get on with the looping in a live situation. I tried it in my band and it was really hard to get it coordinated with the guys. Frankly, it was not necessary but I had to have a try ( I have a looper on my Flashback X4) but I will try something similar next time I do a duo gig.

I have hi jacked your thread sorry. The pedals look cool.
