I bought a friend a Blackstar Fly3 amp, a few years ago. I was impressed. I found they were made by Korg. They have a model that has Blutooth. I can bring it and my smartphone to gigs like nursing homes with little fuss. Volume control is on the phone. What do y'all think?
Obvious or not, I create the backing tracks myself. Rather than bring a looper and waste time creating loops prior to playing the fiddle. I create waves files of the loops. I can then put intros, and outros on each tune, controlling the length of the rune.

That sir is a solid plan. No muss no fuss.
Agreed, makes good sense, you know what you're doing with the looper and by playing arrangements you've got a pretty solid idea how long each one will be and how many tunes/songs are needed for the gig. They can be in a simple playlist, one after another without having to queue anything.. leave a good space at the beginning and end of the recordings.
One of these days I gotta learn somethin' about all that looping stuff...lol. Sounds fun!
These or this person really has standardized the way each track starts and ends.
I guess I could borrow the system. I still need to make the tracks myself, in case there's a copyright issue or something. Making these tracks the looper really isn't the centerpiece. The recorder is. Just make a recording less the fiddle. But have cues to where to jump in and where to conclude.
Thats a pretty cool tube channel for those learning the standards! Jeez i'm so jealous of fiddlers these days - back in the day there was none of this to help learn! It was all sweat equity or nothing.
