Howie Day : "Ghost / Beams of Light"

Check this out.  Howie Day is the king of the loop pedal.  Watch his feet when the camera zooms out.  Look at the setup.  He has a loop station w/ effects pedals to his left for his guitar, and a loop station to his right for his vocals.  All of the effects, drum taps, delay, is done by Howie himself...on stage, live.  One of the better loopers out in music now.

Notice at the end how he goes from "Ghost" to "Beams of Light" with a simple foot tap.  He hits the tempo button on the Line 6 Digital Delay Loop Pedal (button to the far right in picture to left) and it speeds up his loops to cut time (twice the speed).  Awesome.

The most killer part is when Howie hits the Octave pedal at around the 7 minute marker.  This pedal tunes your average guitar down a full step, making it sound like a bass guitar.  Everything he does in this version is remarkable and VERY hard, since the line 6's that he uses for vocals and guitar are not synced on tempo.  He needs to precisely trigger each pedal to match the tempo of each other.  Also, if he pushes the far left button above, and say he messes up and misses a note....he can't erase it.   Newer pedals have a delete function, but not these ones.  If he hits the wrong note, the entire song is ruined since he recorded it.... Talent.

Ah, technology.

Cheers,
