Boomerang Boomerang Plus Phrase Sampler and Loop Recorder
The famous 'Rang is the coolest and easiest-to-use phrase sampler around. So what's a phrase sampler? It's a musical tool that records, makes loops, adds parts (as many as you want), plays in reverse, plays back faster or slower than normal and more. The American Made 'Rang is a rugged, steel floor pedal with 6 foot switches and a unique foot roller for volume control. It can be a songwriter's scratch pad, a tireless partner for rehearsing or jamming, and an amazing live performance tool. Recording time ranges from 1 min. 27 sec. to 4 min. 16 sec. depending on which sample rate you chose. Best of all, using a 'Rang will improve your playing, and as a recent magazine article says, it has "a knock out fun factor." Power supply is included.

BMP has been doing business since 1 Jan 1995. The Boomerang¬ Phrase Sampler is only the first of what will be a long line of innovative musical products. • The idea for the Boomerang¬ Phrase Sampler popped into Mike‰s head in 1989 after scouring the MI market for a quality looping device and coming up empty handed. With Lee‰s assistance Mike created a prototype ëRang later that year, but busy lives and children kept the guys from taking the project to the next level. In the summer of 1994 they revisited the idea of founding a company based on the ëRang, and decided to get serious. • Lee added the volume roller concept then proceeded to design the production circuit, chassis and software; Mike helped with ergonomic design and styling. When they thought they were ready, the public was notified of this cool new product by a small ad in one guitar magazine. It was a modest start, but now the Boomerang¬ Phrase Sampler is available across the USA and in many European countries, and has received favorable reviews from both Guitar Player and Guitar Shop magazines. Many professional players in virtually all styles of music have embraced the ëRang: guitarists, bass players, vocalists, sax and trombone players, violinists, and keyboard artists. • Lee Hardesty was born in Lima, Ohio, and was interested in both guitar and electronics at an early age. When he was 16 years old, his family moved to Dallas, Texas. In the late 1960‰s Lee was guitarist for the regional bad boy band called The Briks. They wore the most black leather, had the longest hair, played the loudest, and had the toughest attitude of all the Dallas area bands in the late 1960's. With time Lee mellowed a bit and shifted to country rock with a band named Bigfoot, and went to college to complete a degree in mathematics. During this same period Lee, always up for a technical challenge, designed and built his own 8 channel recording mixer. In more recent times, he worked at Showco, Inc., one of the largest providers of touring sound systems in the world; Showco Prism systems are used by many top rock and country artists when they tour. Lee was their 1-man research and development team, and developed the proprietary crossover and phase alignment system for the Prism system. • Mike "Motley" Nelson was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. Mike started playing guitar at age 10 and wound up playing the same clubs as Lee with his band, The Sen-sa-shuns; this is how the 2 met. Mike dropped out of college in 1969 to play professionally and later joined the band, Gladstone, which had a top twenty hit called A Piece of Paper in 1973. The band broke up and Mike returned to college to get a degree in chemistry and computer science, supporting himself by playing on the weekends. Mike stills plays club gigs on a weekly basis with a band called the Rotten Rubber Band. Before quitting to devote all his energies to BMP, Mike was a programmer for Varilite, Inc., the premier automated lighting company in the world. • The 2 have been friends for decades, have played guitar for decades, have performed professionally for decades, and are accomplished technical guys. Their passion for music and innovative technical ideas should lead to some very interesting products over the next few years.
