Overkill?  Dood!  Have you seen Steve Rothery's TWO racks of gear?  I 
saw it in a Marillion DVD.  Gadzooks!

The ones that control a digital parameter cause the clicks you're 
hearing.  The software in control of these parameters was designed 
poorly, imo.  That said, this Akai is my main looper.  I actually use it 
as a digital delay and control the feedback and high end roll off (tape 
sim) as my parameters of choice because they're analog and, as such, 
cause no noise.  (At least I assume they're analog based on how poorly 
designed the software is for the knobs used for adjusting time parameters.)

Yes.  You CAN delete the overdubs and have the original loop remain.
