I don't have much more to add than my original post. I agree that it has some noise attached to it, but what I've been doing lately is creating loops and storing them in the unit, and then unplugging the input into the DFX94, which for some reason cuts out some of the noise. Probably because it's not balanced. Another drawback to it is that the mix control only allows the delay/loop sample to match the input "straight" signal. The PDS8000 lets you mix so that only (or almost only) the delay(wet) signal is output. But the DFX94 is great for the price (mine was $84 used) and has all the "mayhem-like" sample-stretching qualities a noisemeister such as myself would require. Oh yeah, the PDS8000 has a footpedal trigger input, the DFX94 does not (I don't think). Boss has another pedal which lets you set the delay times with foot pedal action, I forget the name. With this you can set A and B loop points of beginnings and endings as precisely as you can tap your foot. The DFX94 and the PDS8000 depends on the position of the dial. Anyway enough geartalk. My new favorite record is Portishead:Portishead - that record and the Lamb record from last year give me newfound faith in the state and future of popular music today. ed chang
