According to Rick, the BOSS PSA-120 power supply is the one that the pedal is made for: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012BPMHW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3CLJYQ8X1E8Z4 I found a 9v negative tip 300mA power supply that I seem to be able to get sound I'm sending my pedal to Bob as well. At the very least he says he has a fix that will cut the noise floor in half. One thing I noticed is that each sound, when looped, is surrounded by some sort of digital artifacts, which could be the result of digital aliasing, or odd compression/noise gating. Also, the trim knob on the input works in the opposite direction than I expected. When you're facing the front of the pedal, turning the knob to the left makes it louder. Once I figured that out, I was starting to get enough results that I could monkey around with the features. REPLACE looks like it will be a lot of fun. It replaces the entire contents with whatever's coming in from the input, but ONLY for the amount of time that you're holding down the switch. The remaining "Replace" effects do not require you to hold down the switch, but will apply the effect to a fraction of the total loop length. This sounds like a great way to poke holes and transition what you're doing. RETRIGGER RANDOM plays the loop from a random part of the loop with each button tap. I think Rick mentioned earlier that this can be done while recording. I imagine you'll need to have a loop established already in order for that to work, since with a new loop the device won't know the loop's length yet. CONTINUE appears to only work when the loop is not playing. It appears to resume the loop from the point at which it was stopped. (Unlike the play/stop button, which would resume it from the beginning.) That leaves RETRIGGER ONCE and RETRIGGER CONTINUOUS as the 2 effects that I haven't figured out yet. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com Rigs! http://www.youtube.com/user/ribosomematt
