Believe me, if I can this little bugger to do what I want, you'll be able to HEAR it! 8-}. I may yet try and contact them directly...I've only tweaking it since Staurday morning. Finally figured out how the storage works after I created a 22 minute WAV file and tried to overdub...no way...so the TOTAL time INCLUDING the overdubs for ALL tracks has to be no more than the "time capacity." The specs in the back of the manual vaguely say that the capacity is "1 minute per 5.29 MB, 99 loops per card." Hehe...the solution was to grab one of my 256 Mb CF cards from my camera kit and proceed to format it, transfer the file from the computer, and start laying down some overdubs. Looks like I'm gonna need another mixer, as the routing is getting a little hairy with only 8 in and 2 out. Between the computer's I/O, the A/B box off the guitar, the JamMan, and the 2IN/2OUT of the Vortex,it's getting too crowded. I'll definitely need it when the other two Vortexes get here. Still trying to see where to best route the output from the box to keep the "sound" as clean as possible, since a number of people here and elsewhere have commented on some altering happening.
