Bluesbreaker DIY

Ok, the innards look like a birdsnest and the outside ain't too pretty either, but it sounds sweet and cost only my time, eyesight and about R200 in materials.

Inside (the lid looks like it will never fit, but that's just trick photography)

How? I've never made a sound clip before! I've got a laptop and a roland loop station. Will that help?

Which Loopstation? If you have the RC-3, RC-30 or RC-300 you can record the track and save it. Then using a USB cable connect the loopstation to your PC and you can open the folder associated with that track and copy the wav file to your PC.

RC-3 to laptop, so far so good. I can also convert the WAV to a MP3 which is usually a smaller file, but then how do i upload the MP3 clip to this site? Maybe I need to re-read some of the stickyposts.

There is a post somewhere in the "How to" section that will help. You can host files on soundcloud or box.net and post links to them.

One thing, with the RC3 you'll be recording the signal before it hits the amp - so none of the models/fx/etc from the amp will be recorded. Just the direct signal from your pedals.
