12-String Grand Cutaway

Hyvibe Looping GC

I have been testing out the new Hyvibe with the built in effect and looping and so far it has been a lot of fun. The GC has been phenomenal and love the quality of the neck and overall playability of the guitar. There were a few minor cosmetic blemishes on the body from the clearcoat being touched while drying but its not anything I notice so Its not a big deal to me. The Hyvibe has been interesting to learn since its the new system. I have it all figured out and but present challenge it has is the looping function is very hard to get perfect. I have been looping since 2007 and have used lot of loopers and all of them have different quirks. This currenty system feels challenging to get the loop to land perfectly from loop to loop. Not sure if its a latency problem or what exactly is going on but I tend to mainly use the effects on the unit into my more accurate boss looper. I did notice that plugging in the hyvibe to an amp provides a more accurate loop but I still have a little drift between each track when recording the tracks. The effects also do not always route the same from the sytem to the looper so this is more of a Hyvibe review than the guitar since the guitar is perfect playing. Sound quality of the Hyvibe has been excellent plugged in. Playing out of the guitar it does give itself some feedback ressonance with the strings so having them muted with my right hand definately helps. I am currently recording an intro to guitar course and am using the Klos guitar as the main guitar in the course but I may wait until the Hyvibe has some software updates that refine the looper to function better.
