Yes I know what you mean  - i think the problem lies with us being such a small community so we all get involved with every post.

If we had more people then there would be more theory chat for the theory lovers and more other guitar chat for the others. Generally with forums, people check the category or categories that they like and disregard the others but as I said, here we are a much tighter community (which is nice!)

Good joke Alun - like it

Now that is annoying!

Do you  know how the digitech compares?

I'm really happy with the how quickly I can create my loops on the PC now, though it is hardly portable if you need it be - though I don't so suits me well!

Yes the drums/clicks are pretty poor but this wasn't really what I got this pedal to do. I must say I haven't overdubbed anything - just did a flat loop then used that to jam over.

I know what you mean about the constraints. Rightly or wrongly I ended up putting this pedal at the end of the effects loop which meant that I could record whichever sound I wanted then play a completely different sound over the top. Putting it in the front of the amp would certainly be restrictive.

I guess it depends what you want out if it. It worked well for me to just try soloing over ideas or creating a quick jam track but I guess that is where the potential stops.

Don't worry, you have until 2012 apparently

I have a feeling that superior drummer may not be worth the investment.

I use Ez for very quickly creating drum beats. It really is so simple which I love then you can go back and add fills or manually edit drums after.

I know that you can split each drum beat into it's own track, convert them to audio, add compression or play with EQ etc so there is loads to do with this before you need to look further.

I would imagine that superior drummer is for those looking to spend a lot of time on their drums to get them sounding as real as possible for professional tracks. To my ear, what you can get with EZ does this already for my needs!

If you do decide to get it I would be very interested to hear your reviews on how it compares.

Instructor - Ez drummer is the best thing I found. I have an alesis SR-16 which I tried to use but never got on with it. I used beta monkey loops which are great sounding but restrictive. Then I found Ezdrummer and i really like how easy it is to use and how simple it is to get a decent drum beat going - all full editable at a later date.

Like Don says, using it alongside something like Cubase makes it even more versatile as you can build you whole song up using different lops and fills and easily zoom in to edit any parts. This can be done before or after you have laid the song down.

As you will probably have guessed from my limited recordings, I start off with a loop which I repeat as many times as I want. I can then go back in after and add fills or change the loop slightly for different parts of the song!

Sounds good!

Batteries can be a real pain. It might be worth looking to getting a power supply for it at some point - I assume that is has the option to use one?

Thanks Alun

This makes James the winner! Congrats James - be sure to PM me with your paypal address - I assume you would like you prize money in pound sterling?

Ok I do apologise for the delay in dealing with the competition but I have now successfully found the candidates.

There is 5 candidates that have exceeded 50 postings since the competition was launched.

I have randomly given each candidate a number between 1 and 5.

If the next poster can choose a number this will declare the winner.

Can I take this opportunity to thank all members for their continued support on the forum, which is very much appreciated, and I wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year.

Like this advice here Don - +1
