Actually, I run a Boss RC-20 into a DD-20 with the feedback set high, which I can turn on to catch a loop from the RC-20 (assuming it's less than 23 seconds), then shut of the DD-20 and let it fade over multiple cycles while starting a new loop on the RC-20. A little more cumbersome than having a looper with feedback built in, but it works! -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: mark sottilaro <zerocrossing2001@yahoo.com> > The DL-4 pedel is a fine hunk of looper, although I > found it's limitation of not being able to set the > feedback % to be a deal breaker.
