Title: Stompbox
Post by: The Heretic on June 27, 2023, 01:50:38 PM
Hi All, I'm asking this on behalf for someone else. There are looking for a drum stompbox that they can use with an acoustic guitar, so basically the ask is they want to tap out a beat while playing, the device records it then plays it in a loop, and this can be controlled by foot only. Loads of ones out there but they are either too finnicky, too expensive or just dont specify if they have this functionality.

Closest thing I can find is this

However it doesn't record, you just tap along with your foot as you play, if you could record the initial foot taps then loop it it would be perfect, also if it was all via foot control it would be even better...

Any ideas you gearheads??  :)

Could you not just run that into a cheap and simple TC Electronic/Harley Benton/Mooer looper?

(I have never used a loop pedal in my life).

I guess you could but it's another pedal that you would have to have in the chain, one pedal would be ideal really..

What about this? Looks like you can keep it pretty simple, but the option to tweak about with multiple knobs is there if the mood takes him.

Cheers for the recommendation! I had seen that one before but I think they are hard to come by? Wasn't sure. They finally decided to go with this which was not the original ask I know (as in it doesn't loop), but I've done my part, thanks for the help folks!!!
