Thanx, Jim
I've been using one as a practice tool for a while now, and more recently as a way of creating rough demos of new songs for my band. What, in particular is giving you trouble? The one thing that confused me at first, was exactly where to stomp to create the looping part. At first I thought of it as the end of what I was playing until someone pointed out to me that you really need to stomp at the place you want the loop to start. So if you're counting and tapping your foot, you want to stomp on the one of what will become the first measure of the loop. It was a huge "aha!" moment for me.
