I have a question about guitar pedals.
Maximalism made a link to the following video on another post.
Notice that she records three different samples at the beginning of the song (hand hitting the guitar, a muted strum, and a tambourine). These repeat throughout the song. She uses the same technique to overdub her voice later in the song. I’d really like to know what type of equipment/setup she’s using to do this. Thanks.
Limon, ill show you another video. This one is more detailed about loop pedals.

A popular Delay/loop machine alot of people use is the digitech jam-man Works great when looping things like that, if its not that then she might just have 3 Delay/echo pedals and trigger them each. I can Loop a 5 second guitar rift with my digitech for infinate amound of times But only one loop. yeah she might have three, For delay and reverb, and pitch manipulation Digi-tech is the way to go. for texture manipulation (flanger, chourus, phaser, ect. ) I like Ibanez.
Hi there, yep, Dan is correct with that. She’s using a delay/loop pedal. Basically, she has the pedal ‘on’ and bangs the guitar etc. This gets repeated forever/until she turns the pedal off. She can then play to her own percussion. I think the tambourine was just picked up from the Mic and so maybe that was the sound engineer bunging the echo on for that. I did notice that she’s using a BOSS pedal - probably one that I used to own - the DD-2?…or was it the DD-3? Anyway, apart from digital echoes, you could turn the end nob to ‘repeat’ and it would repeat your phrase forever - until you stopped it. I think it could ‘record/playback’ about 2 seconds worth. I found this tool very useful for playing scales against. Just strum a weird Jazz chord into there and whilst the chord is being repeated, I found my way up the neck and practised scales. Very cool. BOSS are prob the best guitar pedal maker - as endorsed by most players. Digitech are also a good make. I hope we’ve cleared your question for you, any other advice - you know where I am.
Cheers - Luke
ok, do you mind if i edit the post? ill put another video.

Thanks everyone for your help! I did some web searches based on your information. Looking at the second video that Maximalism posted, I think you are right Dan, it looks like she’s using the Boss DD-3 or DD-6.


I’ve been reading a bunch of reviews. At this point, I think I’m going to get the DigiTech JamMan or the Boss RC-20XL Loop Station.
Please let me know if you have a recommendation where to buy something like this. Thanks.
Delay pedals are a must for any guitarist, There so usefull, they can add more ambience in the peice, make things sound fuller, or things faster. Good choices… Will you be using the pedal primarly for Recording, Just Jamming, or Live performance ???
I’m not a professional musician so I’ll be using it primarily for jamming/practicing, song-writing and recording my own demos (doesn’t need to be professional quality). If I ever get to a point where I do any live performing, it’ll just be really small venue type of stuff. For equipment, I currently have a Martin Dm with a pickup and a Genz-Benz acoustic amp.
Nice set up well Then I’d say you get the Digitech jam-man; I say that cause with the jam-man you have much more capabilities then a regular delay pedal, you can use it as a standerd delay, recording device, and practice (loop a scale and play a harmonizing scale along with it, fast ot slow).
Cool. Thanks for your help. Most of the reviewers I’ve read have really good things to say about the JamMan. I’m excited.
Have Fun, I know you will.
