First DAW I learnt and for me it was the moment I lost red light fever and started to create.
And the Viscous univibe pedal. Brilliant and inspirational. It makes me play less notes which is rarely a bad thing. The first time I stepped on it in the little trio I've been playing with me and the drummer fell into Machine Gun and when we eventually wound down he just said 'that sounded fucking brilliant'. And it did.
Along with that, the Boss SE70 and Roland DEP-5 never fail to inspire me.
I said maybe.....
It is still the most full featured looper ever made, and one of the best sounding- David Torn still uses it extensively.
But you couldn't easily do 1/2 speed and reverse both from the footswitch so I always struggled with doing the sort of stuff I like to do. Also you would get zipper noise when using midi, which irritated.
The footswitch was brilliant- it was just a number of footswitch with a resistor in parallel, so you could rig up a guitar based switch using a momentary and a resistor of the same value and a Y cable. I did this a lot for overdubbing direct from the guitar- nothing else allowed you to do this IIRC.
It is a great device, almost a granular synth in the way it was conceived, using the guitar as the source material.
FWIW the Fractal looper has many ideas taken from this device- when the early firmware of the Axe FX Looper was being developed we were asked by Matt at Fractal about the sort of features we'd want to see.
They ended up including a few of the suggestions bandied about- I do remember making a bunch of suggestions to the Fractal guys that were included but I'm not sure how many other people made the same case for them- it was a while back now.
The Fractal Looper is the better tool for what I'm trying to do with loops than the Echoplex, especially being integrated with the FX.
