Check out this video clip from 1978. It's a clip of Jack Nicholson talking about his hydrogen powered car? I wonder why almost thirty years later this seems like a novel idea.

We found a good work around to our looper problem. Instead of using two loopers, we are using one looper that is receiving both of our signals through a mixer. This actually seems to work a lot better for us and is a seamless way to loop the two instruments. I got the idea after seeing KT Tunstall. She does some very cool things with the looper. Check out her set up HERE. Click on gigs and then "wee bastard pedal" at the top of the page.

We recently bought another boss RC-50 looper. The only reason we bought another was so that we could both create loops, live. The two devices are supposed to sync together using midi messages. However when we got the units they would not sync up. Finally after reading the manual several times and eliminating any problems we could think of. I called Boss. I found out that the units don't actually sync yet, but "Japan is working on it". *&@#$%^@^^#Q!!!!!!!

Well, I guess it's back to the old drawing board for us....and Boss....

We have also been informed that our CD's will be a little longer before the duplication is finished. They should be on the way soon... (..for all you millions of people that are out there waiting) :-)

I've been working with various combos of mic and pickup. It seems that mic with a good EQ, to ring out trouble frequencies, and a little piezo seems to work best so far the only drawback is the need to stay right in front of the mic. The advantage is being able to "work" the mic for dynamics. I've thought about trying the amt mic for guitar, but I'm not sure if I would like something attached to the guitar.
