I have one of the original Fender G DEC's. It has a looping capability which allows me to sample a short progression and then play leads over the progression for near infinite durations. Does the M III V2 have this capapbility, and does it have more...

No looper. But I didn't let that stop me because its an awesome amp. I can play along with youtubes all day or download backing tracks and presets from the fender fuse site. Peavey makes you buy a footswitch (120.00) to activate the internal looper.

Is it in the same league as a Mesa, Dr. Z, vintage Fender or Marshall? NO. However, it sounds close enough that most commoners would never know the difference. And with a bit of tweeking from pedals, EQ, etc., mine comes close enough that after 30+ years of playing professionally, I am well satisfied with it. Every single experienced picker that has heard mine has commented on the great vintage sound that it puts out. Of course, I have changed every tube in it because the stock tubes were junk.

Sorry, I've never owned or even seen a little martin. If it helps, I can say it is more or less the same size as a Daisy Rock Debutante 3/4. Only the Fender has more of a pear shape (as shown in the picture). The Fender MA-1, however, plays, feels and sounds spectacular for a 3/4. I am a 40 year old man and I find myself playing the MA-1 all the time. I currently teach three children (two 11 year old girls and one 9 year old boy) who had used the Daisy Rocks prior to my getting the MA-1 and right from the first day I switched them over to the MA-1, all three of them improved immensely. I realize this doesn't really answer your question about the size comparison but if you were thinking about purchasing the MA-1, I recommend it. It is a lovely guitar and I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed. I hope this helps.

You cannot. If you have the budget go with the GT100. It's a much better unit. I had the ME25, GT10, and now I use the GT100. For classic tone, I use the Fender Mustang III. Good luck.

Don't know about the other unit, but I really like the VL3G. The sound is clean. I like the M - F setting to alternate the backing vocals between male and female for variations from song to song. Nice to have the on-board tuner. Works really great when my guitar (and vocals) are pitch-correct, so it's a great motivator for playing and singing correctly. When you "get it right" on your end, the sound is awesome!

I use my loop for all bass parts and it works great. I run guitar left 50 on main out, bass right 50 on main out, that way I have separate channels on my board. You have to make sure you record the start at the same time as the first track though to keep it is synch. My recorded bass is always correct, never forgets the arrangement, takes no cut, and never misses rehearsal. The 3rd channel is available for other parts. More recently I put down 4, 5,6, 7 or 8 tracks on my digital recorder, mix them down, and put on one loop. It frees up a lot of space on the loop, and it still sounds live.

It's a bit trickier to edit...due to there being loads more options for compressors, choruses, reverberate etc...but once you've got the hang of it( and it took me a day or two) it's great. I'd buy another tomorrow if it got stolen. There's a looper on it to experiment with. My guitar sounds amazing when matched with this pedal, better than other stuff I've used.

Yes, a looper like the Ditto x 2 comes after any stompboxes and just before input into your amp, so it is independant and unaffected by amp type.Can it be used in an amp effects loop is a good question though. I would say not, better to remain out in front of amp and after effects.

I'm not familiar with either of the other loopers, what I can tell ya is that the RC300 doesn't seem to suck any tone or fidelity away. I'm running an Axe FX 2 to it, and I also used to have the Boss GT-100 & it worked well with that as well. It's a great looping station as far as I'm concerned & I like the advantage of all the foot switches. Those other two look pretty sweet as well, I'm just very familiar with the Boss stuff as I've owned the GT6, GT8, GT10 & GT100. I been playin guitar for 25 years fwiw. I went with the RC300 mostly cause I know very well how to navigate the Boss Menus and programming. However now that I have the Axe FX 2 I sold the GT. Hope I helped ya.

Well, I had never used that utility before, but I tried it and it seems like it works. I put in an Eb7,Ebm7, then eb7 just to test it. Then I transposed chromatically up a perfect 4th and it changed the chord symbols to Ab7, Abm7, and Ab7. Just a bit more: Playback quality on Notion is much more pleasing than Finale and notation is quicker and more convenient with keyboard shortcuts and easy access to written notes. (click and drag them instead of having to search of the pitch change tool). The only ups I've found with Finale vs Notion is thta Finale gives you more options with notation appearances. You can place things exacty where YOU want like crescendos, text, pedal markings, dynamics. notion also lets you do this, but it has this kind of auto correct placement thing where it snaps the dynamic cyou pick under the beat you placed it on. this is still pretty accurate and you can still move thingsaround but a little less. I personally prefer Notion - it's altogether more convenient and satisfying in my opinion. :)

It has a pitch bend strip so my answer is yes. You can play through guitar amp just watch the bass notes.

I don't think so. Try to get the GT100 if budget allows. For classic tone, get the Fender Mustang III.

I had a 52 Tele sold on (eBay) and there is no diff except that it is MIM. Excellent Guitar. I put a GE Smith 1/2 tele bridge on mine (eBay), Jerry Donahue Alnico II APT3Jd/APT1R pups (eBay) with the 4-way mod w/capacitors etc., (eBay); and a BBender /GBender Hipshot (eBay). Now its a $1500 custom shop Badass Moten-Gator Monster !!! ~skygod~ :)

I personally have not tried a pedal as I use it for a practice amp, but I don't see a reason why not. I use a modeling amp (Peavey, although Fender, Line 6 etc make very good products) that I can tweak very easily to get the sound I desire. If you are serious about your progress I would advise paying a little more and buy one of them before buying pedals which are limited in their scope of use.

To tell you the truth I used looping part only couple times and I do not think I would want Flashback as my only looper. As a delay it is great pedal. But looping with one switch is a bit of a challenge as far as ergonomics goes. Flashback manual says 40secs looping time in MONO and 20 secs in STEREO.

George and John were both using Vox amps in that period. This is just my opinion, but I think the Super Champ x2 isn't that great. And the 10" speaker isn't enough to cut through in a band situation. This is just my opinion and you should by all means check this out for yourself, but I think the Fender Mustang is a better amp. The Mustang III has a ton of good models plus all effects, it will sound great in your practice room as well as with a full band. It has a 12" speaker so it has more depth and with Fender Fuse if you're handy with a computer you can download your own custom amp models. It's fairly light and is cheaper than the Super Champ. And you can find find a really good deal on a used one with a little effort. The Mustang II is a pretty good amp but the Mustang III is easier to use and at 100 watts it has plenty of power for rehearsal or gigs. I know the Mustang is not a tube amp but solid state has come a long way in the last few years. Good luck and happy picking!

ME50 does not have loop station. There are fewer amp options. I think there is one less pedal (the compressor is a single knob maybe?) They improved the sounds for the 70 IMO
