An octaver can put the bass line down an octave, which gives you more space on top.
The idea of creating a simple bass line first to create the template and groove seems obvious now you suggested it... But it hadn't occurred to me. Thanks and please keep 'em coming. 👍
Rob Bad same here. I cant beleive ive never thought of it before.
Mike G i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say, that was funny, nice one. Alternatively... I don't think humanitarianism Is for you! 😉
Mike G lmao
That was cool to see! Thanks for showing us the pedals. I'll be looking into these!
You are a genius Phil. I always played the last note/chord into the looper. If I was off even a smidge, you could hear it. Also, being able to use a looper is a huge reason to go acoustic/electric instead of acoustic. Thanks for the informative and useful video.
Loving the practical info on this videos. Keep up the good work Phillip!
WOW Phil, This was excellent. I haven't played guitar for years. Trying to get back into it.
Tools like this, definitely would inspire a person like me trying to get back into playing guitar again. Keep up the great job
had never thought of just letting the loop play the chord for me on the 1... an ahhh moment ...brilliant.. thanks
Hi Phil! TOTALLY chuckled at the blooper. I have never seen you do that. But, then again, I guess I need to watch more of your videos. Thanks for the great tip. Though I've thought of using a looper, I've never been quite motivated to get one.
Oh nice, a looper demo. Love it. I like the effect of the echoplex. Very subtle, but very useful. The Boss CS-3 compressor sustainer is perhaps one of my favourite 'subtle' pedals. Very keen to check out the echoplex, now.
I like the shape of that guitar the cutaway is really unique
Today's guitar players can run down to their local shop and buy what ol' Les Paul spent years developing, that looper reminded me of his little black box! Sounded cool!
Just got an acoustic electric as an early Christmas present. I feel like I needed this video right now!
I own the red boss pedal you shown on the video and never thought to lay out the bass line on my guitar first! I just always started with chords or a riff and hoped for the best. Great video, I'm going to fire up my looper tonight!
I have a Boss RC-30 that I got used for a great price. It’s fantastic - an essential element in my rig and my practice regimen. It has two separate tracks - I’ll often use one for bass and rhythm and the other for leads and harmonizing. It’s tons of fun.
That Breedlove is gold. I have one and I absolutely love it.
Thanks Philip, so simple but very effective...I really liked this vid. Thanks.
Well done an explanation without a long winded spiel thank you .
Thank you very much for that. I believe that gives me some ground to work.
your playing has gotten a lot better since this video
"There's no reason not to have these tools"
Me-$100 is my reason
You can get the zoom g1on, it costs 49$ it has a looper, tons of amps(around 20) and tons of effects(around 100).
I have it and I love it for the variety it offers.
The zoom g1on is good. Just a bit limited on time (30 sec) per loop.
That's really not that expensive.
For you. Not for everyone.
Even a cheap acoustic costs more than one of these pedals; so owning an acoustic means you have the capacity to save a little cash.
Good stuff. I had never really thought about a looper. I'll have to add it to my wish list.
Good advice, thank you!
you forgot one thing
the miku pedal
John sd **flashback to Chappers and Lee**
+Mikolaj N
That's a one heck of a flashback! Probably THE quintessential pedal to improve anyone's playing!
Everybody needs one

Great stuff man! Simple clear info
Dang that sounded great
I've got an Ehoplex preamp pedal coming for Christmas Thanks Phillip McKnight! It will go well with my RC-30 Loop pedal!
Breedlove acoustic... This man knows the goods 🤘
Musicaddict1.0 For sure, I own one myself. I absolutely love everything about it. It was pretty good out of the box, but just a few minor adjustments to the truss rod and saddle made it smooth as butter. Nice low action with no fret buzz, it's my favorite guitar by far.

can you make a video on the fender squire Japanese models from the 80s?
I like the looper a lot.... might have to get myself one! Nice video.
Great vid - thanks so much! Subscribed!
Nice video mate! Thanks for sharing.
I would go for a compressor instead of the echoplex, way more usefull as it can give you a that full sound plus level the difference between pick and finger.
Clem Shady yep! And I would use a real dedicaded amp even for practice purpose because as a electric guitar amp will not have the hability to reproduce all the treebles an acoustic amp have, you will have way less of the string noises when you play and they are very important to hear...so you will learn to control them!!!
LightSound Geometry Good for you.
LightSound Geometry if only you were sayin like were you sell them or some alike...but stating I do stuff is about pointless. But I guess I can go F myself, I need to relax...and so do you ;)
***** Great move, very smart...associate your name with insulting people is always great when it come to make yourself a name, way to go champ! Actually, it worked with Trump...sick world!
Right?!
Very useful instruction 🙏
Thank you for an inspirational and more practical video :)
Yes, I totally agree about a looper; the number one self improvement tool. The preamp is an interesting idea. I used to run my acoustic with a Spark mini with similar outcome. But, the only time I run an electric acoustic with an electric guitar amp, is when I'm traveling very light and playing in a friend's living room or backyard or the park, I'll use a Taylor GS Mini into a Blackstar Fly 3. A dedicated acoustic amp is highly recommended. I much prefer my acoustics into a pair of Fishman SA220's.
great riffs man!
great, great video. Thanks for the info and encouragement
Love this guy and his honesty
I agree. He really is. It seems like: 95% of the guys on here, Love & Recommend everything, but Phillip will give-it-to you straight, about Staying-away from certain purchases.
You could probably do this with a looper and an EQ pedal that has a level because not only can you adjust your tones but you can use the level to provide a clean boost.
Phil....you are just so Great and Caring...I've been doing this stuff since 1965-1967 ....ERA....I'm 63..and had Echo-Plexes and all the RIGS and GEAR from all the periods since..... one could IMAGINE....too many really... and I always...always.... always... LEARN NEW STUFF and IDEAS form YOU...more than any-other CHANNEL....
PROVING the POINTyou are never too old to LEARN.... AGE never matters.....your PASSION COUNTS.... Thanks...Bill.
Its NOT a space bar... 'DUDE'... it's an ELLIPSE ...... I use it to break up ideas as you would in a speaking conversation... people don't speak in complete sentences .... Sorry your so TRAUMATIZED by it...you really need to toughen up 'DUDE". LOL.
comma's do the same thing, though.
TO every person that responded in writing to this thread....What a bunch of SORRY, WHINY, SAFE SPACE, NO LIFE, TROLLS .... you all are. A SAD NASTY collection of ANGRY SNOWFLAKES...what a HEROIC LEGACY you all leave.
You're projecting again. *You* seem angry. Need a safe space? Did you really need to caps every other word? If _emphasis_ is what you want, then try _italicizing_ or *bolding*
HEY JUDE, don't make it Bad.
Take your SAD SONG.
and make it better.
Remember...not to stay on your PROJECTIONS.
So that you might not be so thoroughly REJECTED.
I reccomend the boss super chorus pedal. It’s very diverse and easy to use. Great for beginners
Hi Phillip! Great tips! Inspiring! I was wandering if you recommend any online course or any a DVD lessons?
I love your videos and very informative helpful information always.
Super helpful video.
Love the playing. Of course tone comes from a nice guitar but really more so from the fingers. Nice to NOT hear 12bar/shred/blues yuckiness from most guitar tutorials or demos. Great job good sir.
Your videos are always so concise. As I was watching I was thinking of KT Tunstall. If you look up Black Horse and A Cherry Tree (live), she uses loopers very effectively.
Hey Phil, I'm considering hooking my looper up to the effects loop in my amp, as the second-to-last pedal in the loop's chain (before the noise gate) so I can play a clean oop and then playing an overdriven lead on top without changing the loop's sound. Have you tried this before? If so, do you think it's a good idea?
Good advice, great tools,
Phillip!! I'm very glad I found this video bro!. I actually have one of those loopers like the one you showed. I haven't had it very long.
I played with it and amuzed myself and made a lot a people laugh and made a lot of space ships landing and such and I guess I
pretty much thought that was the extent of it. So, you got it to record the guitar over the base line, so you could practice the lead??
I didn't know it would do that. Now, I'm going to definitely have to hook it back up and take another really long in-depth look at it again.
I didn't get a book and there are numerous positions, not to mention several knobs on the thing. But I have to figure out how you recorded over the baseline part and still had both parts to play... Hummm cool thanks bro!!
enjoy your videos..you have been quite helpful
Thanks a lot. Just what I need.
Dig the Supro there! Dual tone?? Would love it if you could do a review. I've played through them and I love them on their own but find that with a bassist they don't cut through the mix as much as I'd like.
I actually use my seven string as a bass with single string lines to make a rythym , think about how chords would work within this context, then take out my six string for leads. Fun process,gives a beefy rythym and a nice lead above it all. Use what you have to make what you need happen.
Thanks Phil so please tell me which pedal is the guitar lead plugged into the looper or the boost? Thanks again for your time and expertise!!
Hey Phil, your sound is fine here in Colorado. Video and sound are great.
bdjb1982 thank you
I was just using a guitar looper on an iPad app the other day but can't remember which one. It's there somewhere. You just showed me how to use it. Thanks
Thank you!
Good information.
Nice vid Phil.. I've only been playing 6 months or so.. Im trying to get to the point I csn play like this... Thx
Hey, Phillip (or anyone else who would like to chime in)... I play a PRS Sc245 dry into a Fender Blues Jr. I am looking to add a pedal to assist in adding sustain for soloing. I primarily would use this for playing the National Anthem at sporting events, and am looking for help on sustain with the high notes (I bend a Gb up to an Ab after "Land of the Free" for the climax). I have the "volume" (which is really the gain) already pinned with the "fat switch" also activated. I was thinking of adding a compressor to accomplish the sustain I'm looking for. Please let me know if you think that is what I'm looking for and which compressor I should try. Thanks!
Marcus
So, my chain has at least three volume controls: guitar, amp, and effects pedals (LR Baggs Session and Equalizer make 4 volume controls). What is the best way to set all volume controls for best clean, acoustic signal? Gear is Breedlove acoustic guitar w/ LR Baggs Element undersaddle pickup into Henriksen Bud Ten amp into LR Baggs Session and Equalizer.
Very nice and educative as usual, btw which model of Breedlove is that?
Great video.
Good info for beginners.
again please get ur hands on the new boss preamp the video was perfect I just need a review on that pedal
Sweeps Alvarado
Wise words.it's kind of hard playing the same old tune with out any back up.I've been doing that for far too long.lo get perhaps than most You Tubers have been around over 50 years if you must know.this will help tremendously.
ya this is genius i wish i understood bass lines better is all....thx man
nice video!!! can you recommend any pedal with reverb and loop best for acoustic guitar?
Awesome
love these vids
I've always been a fan of acoustic guitars amplified through a good quality mic...
deweypug deffo mate, this sounded nowt like acoustic
Yes, a good mic absolutely sounds better than any pickup. But if you want to loop, mic'ing isn't as practical.
Feedback...
Nice job!
Thanks!
Thank you Liz Dub. That was very kind of you.
coolest Intro ever!
Really informative
Ty makes more since great job
i always use guitar volume when ever i am looping... only full the volume for solo.. and do the backing half the volume.. so you can avoid one pedal... ?
... because during solo part it's better a little compression in that, with more volume you play too much in foreground
We love you Phillip
hey phil, nice video, what amp are you running here? sounds great!
Hey Phill would you please make a review on the atomic amplifire?? I keep hearing people saying it's so good I just can't believe them haha
🚩 Thanks, I enjoyed as well as Learned. Wish Pedals were just a bit lower in price! This eBay bidding, Driving me Crazy. Have to have a Loop+ loving Boss AC 2
Have u done a review on the gretsch g2420 streamliner holowbody guitar ?
I love my loop pedal. but not good with hi gain it cancels out. But works great into a second amp if used with hi gain. I wish I had bought a loop pedal sooner.
True dat. A NUX Loop Core costs $100, has 3 hours of stereo recording time or 6 hours of mono recording time, 99 loops stored max, you can speed up or down your loops without them changing key, they can loop indefinitely and either stop or fade out when you decide to end them, and they have built in drums. I have dozens of jam tracks on mine, and I am always adding new licks to my major, minor and dominant 12 bar blues, Quist Jams, etc. If I would have had this when I was 15 years old my entire life would have been different. The newer machines that record your loops and have built in drums and bass are awesome as well but I don't have one of those. Having loops you can que up in a second makes all the difference in practicing your licks and adding new licks and solos to your bag of tricks. Being able to slow down the loops helps with speed and accuracy. This is the best $99 any guitarist can spend. It is a pedal you can and should use for life whether you play electric, acoustic or classical (don't know how it reacts to non magnetic pick ups)
tuner placement is spot on looks like weedlove :)
I love the couple at :05. In terms of pedals, I already own a clean boost and a compressor. I wonder what a pre-amp pedal will do for me beyond my current capabilities. I think you said it raises the volume and fattens the note but doesn't push the amp. That's beyond my current capability? Thanks!
If you have a clean boost and a compressor, would initially be better of buying a decent looper (if you don't already have one) Loopers a great tool for expanding playing ability.
I own a TimPierce OD pedal, which has an OD on one side and an AMP section on the other. The AMP section, is a preamp [as Philip describes]. For me, it adds fullness to each note [not much volume] as well as imitating the "sag" and "squish" you get from a pushed tube amp. Unlike a boost, which drives the amp louder to produce an OD sound, the preamp simply imitates the other aspects of pushed tubes. It has become an "always on" part of my single coil Strat playing and an "always on" while playing at low volume for all guitars. For what it is worth.
A few things I do, is
play the guitar dry, and make sure it sounds good accoustically b4 plugging it in.
Play a lick you know is difficult to play on a cheap instrument. Make sure it's easy to play on this one you're considering.
I look at the frets. I notice that, most bargain guitars have the rounded frets, but some actually have the crowned frets. Just my preference, but I think crowned frets are easier to play on.
Then start evaluating it plugged in.
Only then evaluate it aesthetically.
what is on year head stock between the D and G string, is it just a pick holder or something to help prevent string rattle ? i have a breed love as well and am just about to pick it up from being professionally setup as i was having troubles with the G string rattling occasionally.
1:49 Pardon my ignorance, but how does the Echoplex raise the signal level without "pushing the signal like a booster pedal"? Or rather, how do other boosters push the amp to change the tone without raising the signal level higher than the Echoplex?
Does the tone change/overdrive in boosters not happen within the pedal itself?
Basicly you can do everything to an acoustic signal as you would with a clean electric by the way.
is that gold LP on the wall the same one you bought in the $500 "what would i buy video" ?
I’m now desperate to get a looper but the three you have which is the one to get douche is easier to you what record time and the pro and cons hit each was it a BOSS A MOOER and a DITTO?
Question: I just got the echoplex and found the volume doesn't really go up very much at all. In fact, my ears tell me things got quieter. I had to turn it all the way up to MAX to hear any boost at all. Am I setting it up incorrectly? Any ideas would be appreciated. (FYI: I got it to replace my EP Booster)
I haven't bought a looper pedal yet because I've been using Logic Pro X as my looper per se. That way if it's something I like and want to save, I can record into that and save it out to remember later.
However... I think the looper pedal idea is a lot simpler and you spend more time playing and less time fooling with the computer. :)
Oh and one more thing.. because of your videos, I just got a shiny new Gretsch 5622T.
Which three of these loopers do you think is the best for the money. And can I use a looper to incorporate some percussion into my mix?

cool dude. ..Ace
Hello.. i need help.. i want the old sound and tone of the end 50s and beginning 60s with this echo like Fender sound for country songs. i love Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline.. and country music like Tammy Wynette. but there were so many.. So i wonder if i need the Fender amp and a real Fender that they had back then.. All good and genuine material. but I can not nearly afford this. So i want to try the way with what i can afford. Squire and cheap Fender amp.. or any amp that helps for getting this 50s sound.. Do you know what i can do? what i need ? can i get the sound with a pedal? its a soft echo like sound..
what can you tell me? i hope you understand what sound i mean. that's the music i would love to play for myself. home and alone or in company with friends or a girlfriend.. Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves..and songs like Śomewhere Between " and "Till i make it on my own " Tammy Wynette.
and Apartment number 9..
i think you get what style... i hope you ....or anyone can help me out. but probably this is not in the style people of today would want to play or know but i love it and so its what i want to try to play.. Thank you for your time..
On the looper , you can record a baseline and rhythm tracks ??
+Phillip McKnight
i was like duh! why did i never buy these 2 pedals ever now i have to do something about that, thanks man
GREAT!!! Mahalo!!!
