I'd easily trade a 60 second mono looper for a 30 second stereo loop. > >Too bad these boxes don't have an open firmware spec where you could >program > >things yourself... > > Well, in light of the different mods out there for the Jamman or PCM-42, > I'd also wondered if there were any possibility for asking/harassing >Line 6 > for just that sort of thing.

But, you must remember that the people doing those mods were the original developers of those products (no longer employeed by the company), and the mods were only available after the products were discontinued. Any Joe off the street isn't going to be able to update the JamMan ROM. > Although it sounds as if Mark actually tried to explore that >possibility, > and ran up against a brick wall. I think that was Eric. But I wonder who the person he talked to at Line 6 was truly reprentative of their attitude toward this. There's a vast difference between talking to the person that designs and maintains the firmware on the box and some minimum-wage flunkie they might have hired to man the telephones for "support". I've been told things by "support" people that were not only incorrect, but didn't reflect the way the development organizations felt about it at all. OTOH, if that was a developer, then we're out of luck getting a decent looper from Line 6. Greg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
