I liked playing around with it, my only two points were that it would be nice to know what effect is armed, and the effects work on the whole set of primary loop and overdubs, which is a bit foriegn to me, but I'm used to the LP1. By the way, chatter from bob at the show was he will be putting some time on the LP1 this year, woo hoo!!! Andy Owens 1-800-AndyOwens Sent from my iPhone So the typing might not be my best!
