Indeed, Electrix's other products are pretty damn amazing. I had two filter factories and a mofx connected up with a jamman as my 'looping factory'. i sold the jamman to make financial room for the repeater and this is mostly why i am dismayed - because i sold my only looper only to dive into these product release delays. if/when the repeater is integrated into my loop station, its going to be fantastic! i've been playing with various combination of filter factories and mofx's and i think the best combo is two FF and a mofx connected in series. wow - you can create some pretty serious rhythmic effects with this. we shall see. brett At 04:51 PM 8/22/2001, you wrote: >On Wed, 22 Aug 2001 16:32:09 -0400, Brett Maraldo <plexus@sympatico.ca> >wrote: > > >At 04:27 PM 8/22/2001, you wrote: > >>On Wed, 22 Aug 2001 15:32:28 -0400, Brett Maraldo <plexus@sympatico.ca> > >>wrote: > >> > >> >Frankly I think they should have done what any other mature equipment > >> >company does > >> > >>Like, say, Sony. > > > >exactly! you just described what electrix did with the repeater (except >for > >the 3-year hype). > >Well, if it gets them a rabidly loyal fan base, I wouldn't exactly call >them "amateurs".
