I've always found using looper pedals fairly cumbersome. However, the MIDI Captain has made it much easier for me to use the RC-5.
I found myself using my looper pedal every day now because it's just way easier now.

    Chorus is Great for solos, with a DOD 201 in front of dirt and CE2 After you can get an even more Univibe tone but, still subtle like the 2 stage Phasor 201. David Gilmore replaced his giant Univibe and went DOD 201, is pretty close just more subtle and less throbby. I know this is a chorus video but the CE2 and 201 together with dirt sound like a subtle Univibe.

    I honestly had to look again, I thought Julia was a CHorus Vibrato, but that thing FLanges like hell too. I know FLangers can be Chorus, and some Chorus sounds a bit Flange or Vibrato sounding but, not like that intro part... I dig CE2 chorus sounds the most, I have a Walrus Monuments but just got Joyo Analog Chorus CE2 clones, $30 so I got two. Dead on clones

  • @MarcoAntonioVega

    I used to have the Julia a few years ago. After doing an extensive A/B comparison against a Zoom MS 70CDR, I couldn't justify the Julia. With the Zoom I was able to get almost the same tones Julia provides but with less noise, specially with distortion. Plus you can use the Zoom as a tuner and many other things (I like to keep my pedal board as small as possible)

      @@andrewsiemon If you're going to go through the trouble of putting up a channel for perhaps thousands of viewers and then taking the time to buy and review a product, why wouldn't you do the 1-string-and-1-fret-at-a-time method? By posting your gadget reviews, you're essentially telling viewers like me, that you know what you're doing. I clicked on your review because I'm considering the Behringer fuzz pedal, but every channel I've gone to for the Behringer, simply shows another guitarist talking for a bit, and then WHAILING AWAY, I guess to show us that they know how to play? But I don't care how well or badly they play, I'm only trying to evaluate the Behringer to see HOW GOOD IT'S FUZZ TONE IS WHEN PLAYING SINGLE NOTES & NOTHING ELSE!!! When you, and the other dozen guys I've watched, start playing chords, it defeats the whole purpose. i ONLY want to hear 1 STRING BEFORE Behringer, and the same string AFTER Behringer. Unfortunately, I still don't have any better idea how it sounds than before I went to your channel. p.s. You can't believe the nasty responses i got from some channel creators because I called them out on their "testing" method!

    That pedal has a switch inside for "True Bypass". If it's on it may sound even louder when engaded. I own one. I just needed a yellow pedal with mid hump and transparency on my board. I think it's better than Boss SD-1 since it can go from clean boost to kinda fuzzy. And it's much louder!

    Mine always stays On. With a short Regen (slapback-like) for most songs, except Pink Floyd type of music where Regen at about 11:00 does the trick. And instead of using the modulation button, I get a better tone pairing it with a Boss CH-1 Chorus pedal in front of it. Everyone compliments my live tone. It's mostly coming from my fingers, but the Carbon Copy is a big, big part of it.

    I use a Morning Glory v4. It actually stacks really well with the Boss DS-1. The MG in its blue mode has a pretty flat EQ curve, if not a bit bright. But it adds a little bit of compression and gain, which really makes a DS-1 sound tremendous. That combination is my clean and dirty tone, going into a Fender Deluxe Reverb. I can't really explain what it is, but it sort of makes everything sound a little bit higher fidelity.
