Are they lying? It seems that they're just being secretive and letting the looper sell in it's father's laurels. Just like our president! Anyway, as someone who's got one (am I the only one here who does?) I say it's pretty damn cool on it's own merits and I think EH would do OK to start mass marketing. My complaints? Make it only 2 minutes (do we really need 4 minutes of loop time for a single loop?) and do it stereo. (Yes Mark Hamburg. I actually really do want stereo and find it a benefit and miss it when it's gone) Put clicks on bar markers. A display would rule. Yeah, I know old schoolers would cringe if there was an LED display. Tap Tempo. They could loose the time slider entirely with a tap tempo. Having both would rule. I love the ability to pre set the length of the loop though so this is a small thing. The ability to send the metronome to a headphone jack. (does no one get this?) That's all.
