BOSS Loop Contest 2010 - "Lima" by Daniel Harris

This video was made for the Boss Loop Contest 2010. I used the Boss RC-50 and RC-20 loop stations, as well as the Boss DD-7 and some other pedals.

Tech specs: The DD-7 is roughly in the middle of my pedal line; the RC-50 is the last and the RC-20 is second to last. I ran the stereo out from the DD-7 into an old practice amp, while the main and loop were sent to a Mesa Boogie combo (.22 Studio). Both amps were then mic'ed (one with an SM57 and the other with a mock 58) and along with the vocals (a CAD dynamic mic) were sent to an ART Tubefire 8 interface and recorded into Garageband where it was also mixed.

Guitar: Raines Bebop 7-string.

The mix: vocals are in the center, the stereo out from the DD-7 is panned toward the right and the RC-50/20/main are toward the left.

The video: shot using two Sony DVCams simultaneously--one on the ground, one on a tripod--and edited using Avid.

Every video I've seen so far about loop stations is about people using a dozen of effects and a hundred loops, covering other bands, or doing their own stuff and believe me, they are all impressive, but this guy, sits there and starts playing this slow song that I never heard before, and little by little hipnotized me with this simple melody that reminds me of a dusk, a down, the sea...hell, I dunno what but it just sounds genuine. Must be so hard to compose something simple but yet so artistic.

@zep68cd Thanks a lot, Zep!

@humanonymous No bother, is the truth...

I have a question regarding your looper pedal and the Mesa Boogie... Can you connect the looper in the effects loop? example: Like that you can record a loop that is played clean and then jam over it with the lead channel...

Nice song dude, flows nicely. Clever how you spell your name with your foot at 0:10
