I bought one of his courses years ago…I received access to the wrong course, wrote him multiple times about it, never got a response. The course itself was unfortunately a mess as well: poor structure, poor editing (some videos ended abruptly, others seemed to miss entire sections that he was talking about), inconsistent formats etc….I just accepted that I had wasted my money on the course, which is a true shame because I think he’s a fantastic guitarist and I love his neo-soul style playing.
If he’s pivoted the approach an now offers a free course to bring people in, I would assume that most of the issues I faced years ago will have been fixed though, otherwise that marketing approach would backfire brutally.
Can anyone recommend a modern looper to pair up with say… an OT/ST? At least 2 tracks, accepts/sends midi clock and transport commands, with functions like insert and undo functions
When I was really into loopers the echoplex was sort of the go to looper back in the day. Is there a modern echoplex equivalent?
Anyone here tried to the RC-600? Looks decent with 6 tracks and comes with a built in amp sim, which can be really useful going directly into the OT
I think the Boss RC600 is a solid device if you want something bigger (or can live with the form factor). The Pigtronix Infinity Looper 3 is also good. The Aeros Loop Studio is a little different with the screen and UI but powerful…though I’ve read that its midi sync is not always 100% reliable.
I’d say there actually aren’t a ton of options out there that sync up via midi reliably, which is a real shame.
Personally I’m looking at Roland/Boss’ new loopers as the most interesting of the bunch.
My main pedalboard (Pedaltrain PT-2) has been stagnant for almost a year, and it is well overdue to mix things up again. The said pedalboard is primarily built for R&B/Neo-Soul gigs. Based on the pedals already available at home, below is the present plan for the update:
When the revision is finish, actual pics will be posted. Just playing around with different ideas, physically and virtually, at the moment.
Another topic under consideration is whether to upgrade to a Pedaltrain Novo 32, which will allow the additions of a dedicated reverb (Wampler Reflections), octave fuzz (Fulltone Octafuzz OF-2), and a few other goodies.
Does anyone here have any experience with the fender mustang micro guitar headphone amp and can recommend it? I’ve read/seen/heard some nice things about it. I would use it just for noodling on the couch, but also to be able to sample straight into the op-1 without much of a hassle. It’s got 12 amp sims (and some basic eq and fx) and can’t really be edited a lot. Which I think is an advantage for sampling. I would just choose one sound I like (65 twin+comp or 60s British presets sound pretty good), sample into the op-1 and take it from there, chopping, resampling, etc.
The only other guitar pedal I have left is the poly beebo, which I love, especially for it’s delays and reverbs. But it’s a bit of a pain to keep a consistent guitar tone throughout all patches when using the amp sims on the beebo, so the fender mustang micro would take over the tone role and the beebo would still be there for delays, reverbs and crazy fx.
Any thoughts?
Edit: I went to a local guitar shop and just tried one. It woks exactly as expected and sounds surprisingly good.

It’s going to be just me on Bass and the drummer, and vocalist.
My mate, vocals/guitar, was jamming it with the JHS Smiley, but the Bass through the CE-1 “pre-amp” clone into the Barbershop, + parallel Bass amp, sounds like flock of A10 Warthogs tearing down the Hammersmith Odeon
We’re going for the vibe that Bauhaus had with it.
I have always wanted a tweed combo, and the Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue has captured my interest:
Is any one here gigging with this or a similarly spec’d combo (Blackstar HT Club 40 Mark II, Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV, etc.)?
My guitar gigs are for R&B/Neo-Soul, Jazz-Funk, or Gospel acts in mostly small to medium venues (75 to 200 people) with hit or miss decent PA support for instruments. I more than likely will purchase the combo regardless, but do not want to get my gigging expectations too high. All of my present, as well as past, gigging setups have a higher amp output with at least a 2x12 cab.
About 80% of my gigs are on bass, but none of the guitar players I know use setups smaller than the ones that I presently own. Hence, the question.
On another note, my back will more than welcome the lower weight.
I have 4 strandbergs now, including a bass. I do enjoy the standard endur neck, but the bass neck is more rounded, and I have to say its the most comfortable neck I’ve ever played.
I’ve actually been very tempted to try sanding down the neck on one of my six strings but I don’t want to ruin it! The 7 string per Nilson signature comes with a rounded neck profile, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in stock
