Looper's Delight

I had upgraded my 2112 to a 2120 a while ago, but never played with its Looper function much. Seemed kind of lame. There was no documentation what so ever about it. Well, I spent a little time with it a few days ago and it is *great*. Worthy of a page on the LD site. 10 sec of mono looper with all sorts of cool effects like the ability to pitch shift your loop in real time via the pedal. Controllable feedback. Yes that's right, you can control the feedback of the loop while your using it. I was pretty blown away by how good the looper is implemented, yet how bad it seems to be implemented in other Digitech products. Like the Loopstation or DD-20. Mostly I get pissed because they seem to think feedback should be 100% on a looper. Anyway, I'm going to play with it some more and perhaps give a detailed list of its features. I can't believe I missed this gem of a looper right under my nose.
