New Toy

On the way to rehearsal today, I dropped by Guitar Center to pick up a new piece of equipment. A Boss Looper, to be precise.

A while back, I picked up a JamMan, which does a very similar thing, and loaded it into my rig. I prefer to have a clean signal chain, without needing to run wires from the rig out onto stage and back again. However, I've been less than successful when it comes to programming my footboard to play nicely with the JamMan over MIDI. You'd think that as a computer programmer, I'd be able to get this to work, but apparently not.

What I want to do is to be able to keep a bass line going while I solo. In some of the Canvas tunes (particularly Sahara Dance) having the bass line drop all the way out just sounds empty. Now, I should be able to do both.
