![Get Started With Looper Pedals For Guitar [Basic Operation, Signal Chain] - That Pedal Show](/img/n.gif)
This is, until further notice, the most useful video on this pedal I have found. Very step-by-step on the essential functions needed to get started, a huge contrast to the mind-boggling lightning-fast overview Pigtronix themselves put out. If you didn't send the pedal back, I would love to see a slightly deeper dive into the slightly more advanced features, such as loop aging and the arm feature. It's telling that the Pigtronix video features the drop pitch/tempo mode as the greatest feature, something (as you say) most of us would never use. They kind of put the cart before the horse, highlighting the craziest features rather than the most essential, as you did.
Loop pedals are so fun to mess around with. Gives you quite a lot of imagination to work with!
I'm thanking you 3 minutes into this video. Very well explained. Thanks
Kaboom! Exactly the kind of simplicity and yet features I was looking for! GREAT DEMO SEAN!
Thank you very much!
This is exactly what I've been looking for too. I just got it today and love it. Thanks so much for your demo!!
Okay... I bought it! I love using it! So much better than a one button looper IMHO.
I had to come back to your video Sean and thank you again for your demo on the Infinity 3 looper by Pigtronix now that I've used it for a couple weeks.
So easy! Really helping my practice, and can't wait to busk with it! THANK YOU !!!
This definitely seems like a high quality looper pedal for the live performers with the UI being so straight forward, you don't wanna have to stress about the setup when performing. A little pricey, especially for me because I wouldn't use it for live performing atm, but definitely something to keep in mind. Nice demo Sean!
Yes! Series is the thing! Damn man I’ve waited 2 years for this thing…
Seriously the best one out there
@@seandaniel23 ordered already dude... picking up tomorrow 😁
I'm glad you found it. The previous version seems to do all the same things. I went through the same research and decision process a few years ago and ended up with the Infinity Looper. Best wishes.
On the 505 you can set loops to sync or not to sync.
outstanding tutorial, thanks my man.
The Boss RC505 has a foot switch. It has two foot pedals and you can control two channels with your foot. Whatever works for you is the way to go, but you can use the foot switch the way you are using this pedal.
You can use one switch to trigger loop 1 and the second switch to trigger loop 2, but you still would need to stop the track with your hand. That's why I think you need 3 button, Loop 1, Loop 2, stop. The 2 button switch doesn't cut if for me personally plus it's the worst design ever not having an on/off switch.It's runs through 9 v batteries like crazy and you can't use an external power supply.
Learning to loop now. Such fun. Thanks fir a great video on the infinity.
Looks good. I just checked out the website and this pedal has all the connections you could want.
The Boomerang II had this serial function since 2002.
yes, plus the third track! ;-)
@@meouicmoi yes but Cant save your loops!
y hello Julianna, also this sounds so good!!
@@Jfre2 wot
@@Jfre2 Sounds like Julianna didn't wanna get together underwater with you, wanna talk about it? :)
I find the headrush looperboard to be a flexible option for songwriting and live performance.
Sean - great demo and instruction. This seems to fix the “middle eight”/bridge issue with looper pedals. I’m gonna check it out - thanks!
Inspiring to move into a better looper...one at all! I have difficulty due to dyslexia....this may be the answer
Have you Not heard of the " BOOMERANG Phrase III " .... it has been around since around 2013 and has always had all that this can do with one very important Extra,
....It can do up to 4 ( ...That's right FOUR ) Parts !
Also, I noticed that you're having to footswitch over to LOOP 2 when you finish LOOP 1 ( but at the END of the loop1 ) ... On the Boomerang Phrase III you can hit the Footswitch for Loop 2 WHILE you are playing Loop 1 & it will QUE up Loop 2 and start it seamlessly when loop 1 finishes !
... I'm surprised if you haven't seen or heard of it yet ... this thing is THE Best Professional Looper out there in my 'umble opinion
Nothing beats it's easy format, no-nonsense functionality for LIVE Musicians .... Probably because it was Engineered by a Musician & Electronics Whiz !
Yep... same as my Ditto X4. Seems he wasn't up to date on researching.
The Boss RC30 came out in 2011, the first Pigtronix Infinity was 2012... and it was already able to do all of these things so I'm not sure what the 'upgrades' are considering the original was so far ahead of everything else at the time. The Boss only got so popular because nobody heard about the Pigtronix.
It may be that the RC500 has (mostly) caught up, but it's taken nearly ten years to do it.
Yeah... my ditto x4 does this as well. #shrugs
Need to see how to save loops in presets. And how to delete the preset/saved loops. Not working as the manual described. Thanks!
I got a looper pedal coming today from Reverb. I’m just a beginner guitar playing muppet. So, it may be beyond my abilities. But, I don’t care I’m having fun.
Congrats! Have fun!
you the looper expert Sean
:)
Nope. Stitchmethod 🤣🤣🤣
You have
SYNCH off (green)
ALL (green)
SERIES (green)
You record both loops and stop both using the STOP footswitch. What happens when you hit either LOOP 1 or LOOP2 switches? The manual says “The All functionality also applies to the Play command. Once the loops are stopped, hitting either loop footswitch will resume playback on both loops”, but does this apply if SERIES is selected or only with PARALLEL ?
Thanks for demoing the Pigtronix Infinity 3 Looper. Seems like a great tool for playing/practicing guitar!!
I see the Mg10xu dont have Autotune for voice . Do u know which works best ?? I sing but i am getting older and cant hold the notes as when i was youg
You should check out the Digitech Trio Plus. It does all of this and more, lets you store 5 parts per song and then multiple songs (also has a removable SD card). You can sequence the parts however you like. While it is built around the band in a box concept you can also use it as a looper without the drum/bass parts. Best looper on the planet in my opinion. I really think you'd dig it as a song writing tool.
No kidding? I'll need to try one then!
Another vote for the Trio Plus. I'm a fan.
Trio plus smashes this
But does it have actually functional MIDI implementation like the Pigtronix? Beacause that's what I understand makes it special.
How can you record serial loops on Trio Plus? i know you can record multiple loops and sequence them, but as far as i have been able to tell you have to record a loop, then stop, switch to the next sequence and record that loop.The Playback if fine, but wouldn't work for building a multipart song live.
is this possible with Infinty Looper 2 ?
TC Helicon’s VoiceLive 3 does the “series” thing also. They call it something else, but it’s the same feature.
I can see why an RC-505 would work for you. It’s a tabletop machine, and ya don’t want to stomp on a 505…but feature-wise? “The 505 beats this Pigtronix box.
Hi I am a beginner and got this looper and a Reverb and delay pedal for a small board. Could I know how you are setup -cable connections because I am not able to get any sound, I know cables are not connected right. Thank You Eddie
yes yes daaamn 2 different lengths yes finally &#@&$!
I knew Infinity would sort this out first. They deserve all the money!!!
Right?! Such a great idea!
Hi Sean, had a mountain bike accident over the weekend and now my left arm is in plaster so I can't play. What would you recommend an advancing beginner to do when you can't physically play the guitar for some reason? Cheers, WB.
What a great question. Let me Bogart the stage. I would do this, get some sort of keyboard doesn’t have to be expensive. Learn right hand chords, notes and intervals. Relate it back to the guitar so that when you can play again you have nailed chord construction, key make up and intervals. Learn guitar licks on the keyboard and those intervals will be embedded when you go back. All the best
Learning the neck ;)
Think the ditto x4 does a lot of the same….. a lot cheaper too
When I'm not looping into infinity I'm busy coming in hot! Cheers Sean!!
LOL
Aeros looper vs Infinity 3 ? Who wins ?
You can make the Boss RC 500 do the exact same thing.
I've been using the Infinity MKI onstage for some time. It's been a very solid performer. The addition of the second aux is a big deal for me. Is it possible to route to the Main outs ONLY the dry (non looped) signal ? That would be huge for me.
Hey Sean. Does your infinity give you a crazy amount of hiss? Mine does especially after I loop. Even with nothing plugged into the input I can record a silent loop and it will still add crazy amount of hiss once the loop is in playback. I have to keep the master knob under 12 to have it even playable. Doesn’t sound like you have this issue on yours
Mine has been really good with that. I wonder if it's a power issue. I had that in the previous house I was in with pedals. Maybe try plugging it into a different outlet and see if that fixes anything? If not hit up Pigtronix, cause mine has been pretty good. Also I generally run a guitar with humbuckers through mine, so that could be a consideration I'm missing.
@@seandaniel23 thanks for the reply. I ended up getting a replacement one from sweetwater but unfortunately the same issue happens. It seems some people have this issue but not everybody. Not sure why this is the case but I’m still gonna keep this looper cuz I love how it works
@@Darmoosh27 @Plastichead2728 Man that's such a bummer cause i really think it's the best looper around. What mine does do is that if i leave it plugged in overnight, i have to unplug it and replug it in to work. not a big deal but kinda strange
@@seandaniel23 yeah it really is the best hardware looper I’ve used. I used to use Ableton to loop but got tired of running the guitar thru software . My plan is to get a boost pedal and place it after the looper to see if that works, maybe even before but I worry about the limiter. Don’t know why pigtronix doesn’t allow bypass of the limiter
@@Darmoosh27 I'm actually meeting with them later this month. i'll try and ask
Have you tried this with the Beat Buddy via midi?
Good question. He's busy with squirrel photography at the moment I'm sure.
Yes and it works. I start the Beatbuddy then starts my loop. When loop is completed, hit button. Then go to beat buddy & stop it. The recorded loop with the drums is great- add loops on top.
Nice guitar sound thx amigo
I have the first generation model. This seems the same. Is it worth the upgrade?
This should have been released in 2012 before I bought then sold my RC-300 that took too much floor room...
Can you save loops on SS chips
Boomerang can do all those things and more for a bit cheaper as well
You are not able to store your loops!
very nice peace of gear and good demonstration, i am very intersted in it!
can you please tell us the difference between the old version 1 and the new version 3?
Just drop the Dovydas collab next 🤩
This looks awesome. Nice demo! 👌
Would make use of 1 more footswitch that had 3 stage volume stages😉
Otherwise...cool pedal😎👍
Bummer it doesn't have inbuilt drum sounds - or does it? I love my boss rc-5 as a practice tool and song sketch pad and the drums are super important for me. I think the old pigtronix you could sync up a beat buddy which would work but your footprint now is pretty big with that
Very cool. I use a Trio but i like this flexibility.
V-Grits in Louisville. Try that.
Hey Sean, do you have to simultaneously hit loop button and play guitar at same time? Could I hit the loop button and then play guitar? I am paralyzed so I I use my hand to trigger all my pedals on my board. Thanks
@@mrmcsteezy Um... lots of loopers have midi functionality.
If you sync the looper to an external clock with the MIDI in, you can then hit the record button and it won’t start recording until the next “1” so this could help you click the button and have some time to get ready to play/record
anyone got an opinion on boomerang III. vs this ?
I came very close to getting the Rang but being you are not able to store loops and retrieve for later ,Going with the Inf.3
Fellow vegan.
Represent!
Too much guitar, not enough looper function examples.
Nice
You should check out the Aeros. 6x6 tracks and sections. Really nice display. All on the fly as well. And 32GB SD card.
Looks great BUT $400 for a looper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are we taking bets on when we think the fingernail will fall off yet? 😁
What has Vegan got to do with anything?
i can c what u did with the color in this vid but that middle finger still sticks out like a sore thumb but otherwise u nailed it so don't fret too much..haha:
Haha, trying my best
I'm really impressed you managed to find a way to tell us you're vegan in a pedal demo video... Within the first 30 seconds even.
Am i early? Hahahahahah
