Pedal based sampler/looper?

[Ant]

Yooooo, looking into a pedal based sampler type doohickey, not too fussed about live looping any basslines as this unit would primarily be used straight to PA for saved samples and weird sounds etc!

I've been looking at the new digitech jamman stereo solo thing and it looks pretty cool but I was wondering if anyone knew of anything that had the following features

Must be pedal based, as it'll be triggered whilst playing bass

Want to be able to trigger different samples without having to scroll up/down the presets(looks like the only way on the digitech)

Guess that's it really, any ideas?

I've been thinking of doing this with a looper pedal but maybe it'd be easier to do with a laptop or something. The Jamman and Boss RCs are the only loopers I can find which store samples when turned off.

An ordinary rack sampler and a MIDI floor controller might work for you - you can probably pick up a sampler pretty damn cheap off eBay or wherever these days, and I think most MIDI floorboards will allow you to send Note On messages from the pedals.

In fact, I've just checked and the Behringer FCB1010 can send note on/off, and has 10 pedals, plus Up/Down switches to scroll through 10 banks if you needed more.

It's a little more fiddling to set it all up, but might be better suited to what you need if you're only running pre-recorded loops.

The Boomerang III is probably your best bet. It has 4 indepedent loops which all have their own stop/start button. You could record four samples and trigger them with your feet.

Boss has several options for what you want to do. If you can find one, a rack mounted Lexicon Jamman with a simple foot controller would be ace. Had one for many years and loved it.
