yes, unfortunately there is no option to disenable the pitch warpage and
audio garbling when the delay time is changed. i personally like this
effect but i understand that you may not always want to have it. in
general, i would consider the mo-fx to be more of a delay than a looper,
in other words its more of a "processor" than a "storage" unit.

the flanger sounds very clean and "scientific". i've never owned a
flanger before so i can't directly compare it ... but i would say that
this is a pretty unique flanger. it can go from very extreme to very
subtle. PLUS it allows you to do "manual flanging" by disengaging the
midi sync and setting the sweep time to infinity. you need your hands to
do this, of course.

ba-ba,
