I think the writer of the manual, in classic and self depreciating style used the term "idiot," I didn't. I have nothing but respect for both manual writers. Period. I was asked some questions by Kim and frankly I haven't even used the unit, since the Loop Fest, until last night to make horrifying Halloween noises for my 10 year old son and his friends for scare factor. I have to learn the thing to truly make suggestions on how to improve the manual. Looping is something I did, in ambient manner, years ago when the Jamman came out. Becoming a looper is like becoming a TV watcher, you just get the hand control and do it. If there are some esoteric functions of the hand control and you want to use them quickly then hopefully the manual is clear. In the case of the EDP manual it isn't clear. I ordered the unit and it came a matter of 5 days before the Loop fest. I read and read and got some simple functions down only to bomb it anyway. Not the manual's fault but my overall brazen idiocy to think that I could go from my classical guitar to a bunch of gear and a performance. Silly me. So in Kim's admirable and self depreciating style I say me have no brain. If I wasn't busy with other music I'd be all over the EDP because it is the end-all of looping devices and I want to explore the uses of such technology. Right now all the looping I'm doing is looking a few emails about it and going over the fact that I call no one an idiot except myself. Now stop the idiot stuff. Ain't no idiots here and I saw no idiots at the Loop Fest at The Church of the Mean Guy. Larry Cooperman New Millennium Guitar http://www.newmillguitar.com
