Dear Jim, Doug, Chris, Kim, Tritone3, Mark, etc.. Thanks VERY MUCH for your help in this. It appears that the Boss DD-20 will meet my immediate needs (stereo, low price, 20 seconds of delay, loop feature only), but that I won't really be able to "expand" from these features at all. The requirement that you have to keep your foot on the pedal sounds annoying, but I could live with it. I haven't heard any mention of an "undo" feature for the DD-20, and this may be a case where, after buying something adequate & cheap, later down the road you wish you'd just dropped the cash for a unit with more features... I think I like the two-used-EDP's option the best, if I can find them... Another option might be to get a single EDP (which is on sale at Musician's Friend for $799, by the way) "for starters", and just resign myself to mono for any looping work for the time being... :-( and then upgrade to a second EDP later. Then I'd only have mono in the loops, but could presumably get full stereo for each first "instance" when the audience hears something new. Maybe the Jamman would be a decent compromise, if I could get one. Granted that it would loop a stereo-inputted signal, it would at least allow me to seamlessly go from full-on stereo input signal with no looping (for songs where I'm not looping), to mono-only signal when I'm looping, and always be doing stereo output regardles --- all without having to stop the concert while I plug & unplug cables between songs. (A final option is just to wait around another year and learn to play my instrument better, and see what kind of technology is available next year.) So now that I know what's out there, I'll just have to make a (painful) decision about what I'm willing to do... As for other loopers in Texas! I do not do any looping yet, but am interested in getting into it and would be happy to come to any gathering to hear others. If Austin in most central for you, then that's easy for me! Please send me a private message if something is planned, either at this address or at scott@scotthawley.com. Cheers, Scott __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
