That was my basic point. The EDP not doing stereo looping is potentially disappointing. If you've got stereo signals and you want to loop them and walk away, a stereo looper is pretty important. If you've got sounds that you have carefully placed in the stereo field, a stereo looper is pretty important. But if stereo were really critical all the time, you'd think that more mix boards would have stereo effects sends instead of mono sends. Not being stereo friendly, however -- i.e., not having stereo throughs -- means that the EDP rapidly forces a need for a mixer as well and that costs both money and rack space. (Or it forces a need for a second EDP that will allow you to work in stereo for most but not quite all features.) Being mono isn't necessarily a huge barrier to entry. Not being able to play nicely with stereo equipment without help is a barrier to entry in all but the simplest setups and in those setups its a pain that you've got to find a place to balance a rack mount item and hook up a separate foot pedal.
