I found this old video from 2006 when I was still at the beginning of my experimentation with Live Looping
.
In 1999, the game-changing Line-6 DL4 was released. It was an affordable delay pedal with a basic function that allowed LIVE LOOPING: you could record a 16-second loop on a single track and overdub over it. I borrowed one from a friend of mine, and my Live Looping journey began. At the time, there was no machine that allowed you to do this in a simple and affordable way. On top of that, it was almost impossible to do it on the street because there were no battery-powered speakers: I had to come up with a combination of a car battery and an inverter.
.
A few years later, I was constantly experimenting with Live Looping on the streets of Europe with a basic setup of a didgeridoo and my beloved analog synth, the Roland Juno-106. Nowadays, my live performance looks polished and second nature, but it took almost 25 years to get to this point.
However, I still use the very same basic setup, just replacing the DL4 with the more reliable TC Electronics Flashback X4. It's still a delay pedal with an added one-button/one-track looper (no mixing possibilities after overdubbing). The bonus was an "undo" function on the last take that the DL4 didn't have. For the rest, no loop station, no click, no midi, no sampler, no drum sounds, no extra FX, no multitracks. My philosophy is still to "keep it simple and put all your focus and energy on the connection you have with your audience."
