yes.

sometimes i will build a nice long loop on the PCM-80 and then go to 
sleep on the couch in my studio. when i wake up the chorus of angels 
have become an army of demons bringing me out of dreamland.

that's cool you use the word "cook". when i've talked about this 
"feature" of the PCM-80-as-looper i talk about "cooking" my loops 
overnight.

after a couple of days it becomes absolute grunge, nearly 
indistinguishable from the original loop.

mine does. the PCM-80 wasn't built as a looper, there is some hash 
added with each repetition ... it sounds like a combination of bit 
reduction, aliasing, and filtering.
