How is a looper like a Cow? They are both used to make Cheese ;)

[@PeterMoore350]

7:00 Ive 5 Solar 1.x guitars, 3 with FRs, 1 with Evertune. Different shapes and modes. Id never heard of Ola when i bought my first one just before the NZ cv19 lockdowns. I saw a guitar late one night in a music video, did some research and voila 😎Bought the rest during lockdowns except for one I bought in 2022. Never had any issues with my Solars and will buy more once I beat cancer which is my focus at the moment.

[@Zarphag]

Good luck!

[@PeterMoore350]

@ thx bro. Appreciate it

[@dekka8241]

What a great intro Andy, here here! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Better use quantize next time😂

[@richardclark.]

Why is telling Andy a looper joke doubly funny? Because he gets to laugh at the joke and then he laughs all the way to the bank because he really just wanted the comment anyway! Baaahahajajhaha! Thank you! I will be here all week!

[@vasotoe]

Lichtlaerm takes the W!!! And great people! 🤘🔥

All these looper releases are making me loopey.

What's the difference between a drummer and a drum machine? You only have to punch the information in once on a drum machine!

[@rickhawkins218]

….also, a drum machine won’t get drunk and bring their negative girlfriend to band practice and then complain the entire time…

Unless she (or he) is making themselves useful by fetching food and coffee there should be a ban on them being there.

Can't wait to have my ditto here in Germany. I miss it dearly....

[@telecatsermaster]

Loopers are an amazing tool…. In my experience the simpler they are the better…. Like the original tc electronic ditto…. Small and easy to use

[@BitcoinBodyboarderPodcast]

Very informative. But, not really a good looper joke.

[@wolvesandguitars]

I got one of those Mooer ones and its awesome.

[@duarteestelita7257]

Has it got any MIDI IO ? How about odd time signatures options ? Any variety...or.. just a couple of them ? Thanks

[@michaelhuene561]

Two looper pedals walk into a bar, one wants a beer and winds up ordering 12. The other asks what bourbons they have and then gets tossed out of the bar after the bartender responds for the 8th time.

[@BitcoinBodyboarderPodcast]

I laughed over and over

[@PeterMoore350]

11:00 i like that mooer. Damn you Andy 😂🤣GAS list increased 😎

Andy thx for bringing your positivity and humour into my lounge room most weeks. I hope that you and your family have a safe and happy break and i look fwd to more content from you in 2025. Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘

[@chrisrussoroos6091]

thanks Andy- always enjoy your presentation, vibe and opinion. thanks for all👍🏼👍🏼

[@jtf2dan]

if I had a drummer....HE would be the practice tool.....but Mooer GL 100 is....THE DREAM....

[@BitcoinBodyboarderPodcast]

Drummers explode randomly too! So there's a huge safety advantage with the Mooer.

[@DonaldPanhorst-s5c]

I love to see analog amp pedals!!!! I would love them more if they could power off batteries (preferable nimh).

[@CaptainCraigKWMRZ]

Pedal size amps are highly under rated. I have the EH .45 Cal. That has saved me on a few gigs and made me a hero for other players when their amps quit. Over heated tubes, bad switches, gremlins, etc. Throw one in your gig bag and hope you don't ever need it!

[@adamstein9333]

The Flamma, Mooer, Harley Benton, DNA Core is at such a great Price for 80 seconds. That’s half a song, just throw in a bridge at 120 secs and repeat chorus. I’ve been looking for the right power amp as well. Carvin or now Harley Benton have GPA100 and Thunder 99. Electro Harmonics has the Howitzer 15 or Magnum 44, AMT Tube Cake has the same deal as Lict. Presence and Resonance Control. VHT has the Red Line 6 watt Power amp, or Just Mooer Bomb it lol. Anyways as Far As Solar, I search for Washburn Parallaxe series. Destroys Solar to Me, and Being a Favorite Brand of Mine, I miss the Nuno 5 crest Bolt on, with Stephen’s extended cut, Grover tuners and Buzz Fieten tuning System! Sorry OLA, but also coil tapped with a hardtail (I hate Floyd’s and don’t want a tech). I can chase the needle myself Kids. And A Lawerence XL500 or Dime Buckers. Unless You want it stock with EMG 81/85. PXS200! Best workhorse ever

[@michaelolz]

Honestly, the fact that there’s a spring in there kind of blows my mind. (Still fairly new to the pedal world.)

[@bobblake7132]

Did you hear about the man who was obsessed with looping? Did you hear about the man who was obsessed with looping? Did you hear about… 🤪

[@bucklberryreturns]

"..should excite you. Which is rare, for something this small". Andy has a lucky partner, or a sore one. 😂

[@Phoboss32]

This so-called "AI" features with an automatic detection of a fitting drums pattern have been offered by the "Digitech Trio Plus"-Looper pedal for ages! Plus there you can have even a bass line in addition to the drums. Plus, you set different drum/bass patterns to different song parts. And you can export your recording to a SD card.

[@couchcamperTM]

oh great, Solar is going the Ibanez route with their model names.

[@BitcoinBodyboarderPodcast]

Their names are the answers to calculus problems.

[@duarteestelita7257]

The Mooer.. no MIDI IO, right ? Speaking of Loopers, and timing(s)... I tell you Andy.. You really do have got your great sense of timing..hehe. No Good humour is good...without that small 'detail'. Merry Christmas ;)

[@joguipo]

Apart from Andy not being able to make a good joke about them... What do loopers and buses have in common? The coolest ones are red.

[@akwamarsunzal]

Yes, that GL100 loopy thing would replace 83.25% of drummers out there LOL Give it a review Andy 🙂

[@TheGuitarGeek]

On it!

[@NeungView]

And none of the loopers let's me make my own drum track using MIDI and the built-in drum machine. The only I know is the Boss RC-600 😢

[@andresilva8444]

That Spring King Junior doesn´t look like a micropedal to me. Or the jacks wouldn´t be opposite each other. It's bigger than an a BOSS.

[@TheGuitarGeek]

You are absolutely correct! Sorry for assuming

[@peterhall4852]

Snooker loopy. Looping da loop ,Andy. Can Solar humbuckers heat the bath water? Should a backing band be at your back btw?

[@Michel-r6m]

Got two pedals on the radar...my bankaccount has me on the radar....😅

About spring reverb.........HB 20w amp has a very good real spring reverb......and it cost......................cheap

[@explorervango880]

Can you replace the drummer if it’s your brother? Honestly he is pro level. Last two albums Beatallica’s The Devolver Album and the single for the upcoming Conniption album The Theatre of Invention was just released.

Always funny to hear, "for the serious player" because I immediately think, I'd rather play with someone fun.

[@raiviste4187]

The Mooer GL 100 reviews on KZbin (so far just few and short) reveals thah Mooer`s drum still soudns awfuly sintetic. (the Boss RC10R drums sounds much better nd ntural). However, Mooer has made allmost all possible fetures in this looper. The only other that matches here is Valeton VLP200 (released just month ago, and at the same price point). Valeton has some interesting features, like second loop paralel, or as chorus of song (kind the option has Boss RC10). But the Mooer looks more user friendly and intuitive. The only question is - how easy and flowless it can be used in live. I think this factor is most important for all the loopers.
