Re: Does this effect exist?

Howdy,
 The Ibanez DM series of delays have a "hold" buttn that could be hooked 
to a footswitch. If you have a sustaining note and hit the "hold" at the 
right instant, that sound will loop until you push it again. Tou can play 
over the top of it. Finding that loop point and the time of the 
loop,(delay time) is the tricky part. I have done it often
