IMPRESSIVE !!!!!! that is talent :O

[JohnE109]

good stuff, maynerd!

[acousticjdmitchell]

Awesome man!! Not only multiple intrument talent but music and composition genius.

Question: It sounds like you are recording/playing on multiple loops and are able to start/stop the last loop in/out. Is this the case and if so how? I'm looking to buy a loop pedal(s) but can't confirm any of them play multiple loops at once, even with accessory footswitches.

[RichieKihlken]

@acousticjdmitchell Well, I'm not exactly playing with multiple loopers, just multiple remote foot switches that just replicate the buttons on the original loop pedal (boss rc-50). However, these remote switches are actually home made (they don't sell sell or make these anywhere). We were able to open the back of the boss 4c-50 and solder in connections that we wired up to the remote pedals. The point being to have multiple work stations running on the same loop machine.

[acousticjdmitchell]

@RichieKihlken. Thanks for replying! I finally came across the RC-50 in my search for loop pedals and see it can play 3 separate loops at once (which is what I meant). The other loop pedals I saw only play one loop. I can see adding all your instruments would be all but impossible without multiple pedals. Thanks for the advice and inspiration. I'm going to subscribe so please add more videos so I can "borrow" some of your ideas. Again, awesome job.

[RichieKihlken]

@acousticjdmitchell  O I see. I guess I was forgetting that the rc-50 is the only pedal i've seen capable of doing 3 loops in one. most people just ask about the other thing with the pedals. anyways good luck.

[schwarzermoritz]

Whoa man, roooockolid!

Anybody who has tried some multiinstrumental loopin will appreciate this for its true worth! Had a Jamman for about half a Year but never got warm with it, the controls are just too messed up, absolutely not intuitive at all!

I like the end the best, from the rocksolo on andthe little muting trick

Though the John Mayer-solo was not wholly my taste, it works.

You certainly got the Groove, and thats what makes for good soloing :)

And just how many Instruments do you play?^^

[schwarzermoritz]

And did I mention you got chimes man? I like your voice!

[RichieKihlken]

@schwarzermoritz Well I'm glad you dig the whole loop thing. Ya I had a jam man for a long while too, but its nothin like the boss rc-50 (way more options). I basically just play guitar, keys and drums, a little harmonica. Anyways, stay tuned.

[Idiot7887]

this is GREAT! Thums up!!!

[MrMartygras]

this is unreal.

[MrJas1991]

Man if you somehow played at sumemrcamp this year people would go NUTS! hahaha this is sick!

[Bahamok]

well done man, but why don't u put up a band?! you have the groove - the main thing for me - so you need hust some good musical-friends!

[RichieKihlken]
