The upcoming Glou Glou looper is inspired by the Echoplex Digital Pro. I am quite intrigued to know more about what it can do with 5 stomps while the EDP controller has 7 that are a bit customizable for how they work to manipulate the loops.

Is there any word on a release date for this? Not that i need another looper...

Just small heads up Glou-glou is making a looper. I asked on instagram... they said april, no preorders.

Sounds great! I had an echoplex and it was great except the rack thing - I would love tohave the multiply thing again.

Hold your guitars - the looper is coming.

I bought an RC-500 when it came out and am very happy with it. I definitely do not use it to its full potential, but as with most modern Boss products, I think it’s more of a challenge to use every feature they cram in there.

I use it a few different ways- I run guitar through the left side/loop 1 and synths/drum machines through right/loop 2, both synced via midi to a disaster area midi clock. This is cool because I don’t have to worry about remembering what is on what channel- guitar is always left, etc. less opportunities for forgetting live.

I also use it for stereo guitar on both loops, using it more like an RC-300 in that way.

Biggest pro for me is midi clock behavior- it is so easy to use with drum machines synced together. It’s very forgiving when you press the record switch as far as when recording starts- a lot of other loopers require you to hit record slightly before the downbeat. You can be pretty sloppy and still catch the downbeat which is great live obviously.

The only real gripe I have with it is there doesn’t seem to be a stop all function- as in stop all loops with one button press. There is a way to hit a button to select both tracks, and then hit another to stop both, but not a stop all/start all, which was on the rc-300 and very useful.

great report! thanks for sharing! I was just watching Loopop demo review of it and the assign menu is very powerful!
It kind of remembers me of the midi learning on the LP1.. that reply my question about the midi mapping: you can create your own!

awesome, thanks! pretty affirming. you should be able to get everything to stop together if you mess with the assign functions. have you experimented with the measures? I wonder if you can mess with their placement in the loop.

that glou glou looper is HYPE. how much $$$$$

from few hints on the Looper Delights group in Facebook 350-450 EUROs? We don't know yet.

OK, that terminates my interest.

I haven’t messed with the measures- thankfully it lets you sync loop 2 to multiples of the original loop’s length sort of like the boomerang iii without any futzing- I would like to explore that though, I’ll make a note and dive into them menus.

I went through the manual to find a stop all/start all command I could map to an external foot switch but it doesn’t seem to exist! Unless I missed it...I’ll check again.

yeah well - it's long but totally listenable.

FORCE DRY in action.

Other capabilities and situations to follow I suppose.

Loki shared a link to the Beebo "loopler" module beta in the Poly Fb group. I haven't spent much time with it, but at first blush it appears that you can't do very much if you don't have a full-on MIDI setup. I can record a loop, but accessing all of the insert/substitute/multiply/etc. functions by poking at the screen while also playing isn't practical. So do I invest in some MIDI controller with a buttload of switches so I can really use this module? Signs point to no. Increasingly I'm just using the Beebo for the convolution reverbs. But even there, the stereo reverb module only has a mono input, so if I'm sending a stereo signal into the Beebo I end up using two mono reverbs. Which sounds nice enough but it's not the same. I'm feeling more and more iffy about the Beebo.

Loki is one of the best, can't say enough kind things about him.

The Digit/Poly are really great ideas and I love the 4 in/4 out small form factor but everything I tried in them was buggy: Stuff just wouldn't work like I had planned it out. Having said that, he made a lot of remarkable improvements over the year or so that I had them, to the point where I had started to reconsider selling them when I did. Loki doesn't stop, he keeps moving forward.

The EDP required a foot controller too. Truth is, to do EDP style looping requires a foot controller for all of those commands.
