@jamoja1

I was just wondering what you used to record..?

I am thinking about getting a rc-20xl or rc-2 or maybeee the jm4.. but i feel like the jm4 is too much for someone who's never had a loop effect before?

thanks in advance! been watching all your video demos!

[jamoja1]

@orangejulius072 hey man, i have been very happy with the boss loop station - as far as recording, all of the videos on here were just shot using either a regular point and shoot digital camera or an iphone - and i just have everything plugged into my PA system, coming out of a speaker, and being recorded by the video camera. not ideal, i know, but i think it sounds OK and has kept the process very simple.

Im a huge David Grey Fan but I feel you do this song better than him, Im now a huge Jason Montero fan, awesome stuff!!!

[twsager]

Jason: This is really a great cover version of this song, thanks for posting it. Excellent arrangement, vocals, solo. And a great use of the RC-20XL - you inspired me to go out and buy one!

[jamoja1]

@twsager thanks very much. i really dig the loop pedal and it has helped me stretch out with my playing. if you get one let me know how you like it.

[dbeebinator]

great cover, lovin' it, man ^_^

[jamoja1]

@dbeebinator thanks beebe, i have to get some more jams posted.

[lfcman09]

were and how much is ur Loop Station i need a new i have a casio one itz gettin old now :)

[jamoja1]

@lfcman09 the 2 pedal RC20XL i have is usually just under $300 and the single pedal RC2 is closer to $200... i think you can get them at most music stores or the usual online spots like amazon, musicians friend, sweetwater, etc... i haven't had a chance to mess with the RC2, but i have seen some demo videos and it looks SWEET. the RC20 is great and easy to use after getting it down.

[lfcman09]

too fast

[jamoja1]

@lfcman09 i agree. all of these videos were done in one take and i sometimes struggle with 'perfection paralysis', so i just decided to let them fly. thanks for your comment.

[Rob919Gore]

awesome job man! are you looping a stomp box?

[jamoja1]

@Rob919Gore thanks man. yeah, i have the RC-20 at the end of my signal chain, so it loops whatever tone i play into it. I believe on this one i looped it with delay on it.

[Rob919Gore]

@jamoja1 I know have the RC-20 also and I love it! but what are you tapping to get that snare sound?

[jamoja1]

@Rob919Gore i'm just tapping the face of my guitar. i have an i-beam pickup in it and i noticed, even before getting the RC-20, that it made the instrument extremely 'live'. i think it's because the pick-up mounts to the underside of the face/top of the guitar rather than under the bridge or in the sound hole like most acoustic pick-ups i have tried. it was a bonus when i got the loop pedal and discovered it would pick up tapping and slapping nicely.

[Rob919Gore]

@Rob919Gore sweet dude what kind of stomp box is it?

[jamoja1]

@Rob919Gore oh, hey, just saw this follow up Rob. the stomp box is a Boss DD3 digital delay - i'm playing through a pedal board that used to be just part of my electric guitar rig but started running my acoustic through it a few years ago and thought that a lot of the tones translated well. so i put the loop pedal at the end of the chain and said 'why not?' lol.

[stirfrycomedy]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn - that was awesome. i wonder if the funny bastard can play this too... =)

[jamoja1]

@stirfrycomedy  - whoa there SFC, Gary play a song that was recorded post 1989??!! a rarity. lol. thanks for listening man.

[stirfrycomedy]

@jamoja1 LOL ~ too funny. Gary is my brotha from another DNA...
