Re: buying a headrush online?



I must like the DL4 better than the Headrush, since I've owned both but
currently only have the DL4.  It will certainly do more stuff.  But you
should be aware that, unlike the Headrush, there is no control whatsoever
over delay feedback!  This is a pretty serious disadvantage if you're
interested in gradually evolving/fading loop layers.  My second complaint 
is
applicable to both these units: mono!  Actually, for a lot of what I do, it
might be worth getting two Headrushes and wiring up the start, etc., 
buttons
in tandem.  Still waiting for the inevitable Headrush blowout, and when it
happens I'll be interested in the piece again...
