RE: Digitech Jamman - ready to mod !

[gary@friendlyspider.com]

Nice idea, Duncan..  There is an LED for the tempo...though it may share
double duties.
I suppose an optical sensor, like used in MIDI
connections, etc., could read the flash
and output a pulse...  but of
course, I starting to go crazy.
It did enter my mind, though, what it
could be like to gang to of the Digitech Lexicons together
by simply
making one set of foot switches control both units.  Mechanically, this
would not
be very difficult at all.  I wonder if the timing would go
off that much for "relatively" short loops
....it is
digital, after all.  This could allow for stereo looping, saving loop
overdub passes, and
give multiple inputs including 2 mic inputs in a
very compact, floor package.  Hmmmmm.
Gary....or just call me
crazy.
