Adam thank you kindly for such a great review exactly what i wanted! yes thats what i read too bad the reverbs arent that great...although for acoustic i just use a bit of ambience,i suppose i could get a second one to put after the loop for a bit of after reverb as well.I just wish i could listen to a mp3,a sample or try one if u have any of that please please send it to me! other than that it sounds awesome! thanx again mate Luis --- rds8000 <rds8000@cableaz.com> wrote: > Hello - > > I've loved these boxes since they were first > released.
