Re: Looping vocals

[Charles Zwicky <cazwicky@earthlink.net>]

You can use one of those Radio Shack mic to 1/4" barrel mounted 
transformers with pretty good results...  THere are several loopers 
out there which have Mic inputs, too.... Boss RC-50, DIgitech GNX-3 
and GNX-4... the Electro harmonic 2880, which  by the way has 
independent gain controls for it's two inputs.
