Steve-

with LoopIII that is an error message that can come on at power up. It 
comes on when there is something connected in the BrotherSync jack or the 
Overdub jack, and acting like a closed switch. So for example, a pedal 
connected in the Overdub jack and held down at power up would cause this 
error message to come on. It could also happen if you have some other 
device connected in either of these jacks that is not powered on, and 
therefore holds down the line as if it were a closed switch. Try 
disconnecting everything from the back and turning on the power, and see 
if 
it comes on. If it still gives the error message, that could mean that 
there is really something wrong with the jack that is shorting it out. 
Most 
of the time though, people have this error message when they have 
something 
else connected in an odd but harmless way and it really doesn't mean much.

For LoopIV we have actually taken this error message out. Most of the time 
it flagged an error when there was nothing actually wrong and just caused 
confusion, as it has for you. For example, if you had several EDP's 
connected to BrotherSync and turned them on one at a time, sometimes the 
first one would give the error message, which was pointless. The error 
message was actually there from the very early days, all the way back with 
the old Paradis LoopDelay where it was useful, but really didn't make any 
sense anymore. So it is gone now. That gives you one simple way to get rid 
of it - upgrade to LoopIV. :-)
