Digging the iStomp again
I recently decided that taking my Joyo American Sound to jams by itself is not enough. I wanted a battery-powered delay too. My first inclination was to order a used delay pedal. Then I decided instead to try loading one of Digitech’s delay pedal models…
How I Recorded the Effected Chromatic Harps for My Instrumental Love Song “Deeper”
I released my first recorded version of “Deeper” in 2002-3, when I had just started a series of monthly releases of free original pieces for harmonica. The recording of this song that I made for my record “The Lucky One” represents the first time that…

Pumping Up the Organ Tones with the iStomp
Digitech RPs have a very nice single-line pitch shifter, and a very nice rotary speaker effect too. If you could use them both at once, which you can’t do on a single RP, you’d get some decent simple organ tones. (You can actually get decent…
