Re:Re: Looper's Essential Infinite Sustain



I don't like to think of it as dead, I like to think
of it as the robot in Lost in Space when Dr. Smith
pulls his power pack out.... 

but seriously, the guy who did my installation
(http://www.brawer.com) in my Steinberger did a great
job where he installed an additional battery so now I
use 2 nine volts and if the Sustainiac dies I still
have main power.  Of course when that dies it's over.
