>concur< I remember when theEH 16sec.DDL came out-I was so happy-mangle city-up down forward reverse-slo/fast backwards/frontwards statickee/smootheness and all @ 8 bit. no one-not even Nels Cline have tapped into all that is in  that pedal. wish they would make a true update w/ higher sample values/bit rates and then leave it alone.

i suppose bill is right. an inexpensive simpler looper is not such a bad idea i guess for the masses.
so when everyone writes: "i'm new to looping, what should i get?"
we can answer: get the ditto, it's under 100$, easy to use, has a lot of time and simple.
problem solved.
i guess for me, as i get on my soap box again-why do we need another device that's just a simple phrase sampler that creates static loops.
i thought that the original idea of all this looping when djs started doing it yrs ago was to snatch bits of songs, mangle the sh*t out of them (pitch up/down,
slow it down, speed it up, filter it, mangle it w/ effects etc) and make something cool sounding then you do your bit on top of it (rap, sing, play, whatever)..
isn't that what the original hardware samplers allowed you to do-MANGLE it! isn't that why those consoles look like spaceships and us guitarists
were so afraid of them? are we so afraid of controls? maybe we are. i guess that's why EVH's guitar is the most popular-it had one pickup & one volume
knob-pretty hard for us dumb guitarists to mess that up....
ok, i'm off my soapbox now again...
long live the tc ditto looper....
