well, i've said it once and i'll say it again.

it seems as though the corporations which make the devices we use are 
either cruel or stupid. EH has decided in it's infinite wisdom to limit 
the EH240 (240 seconds of delay) to 1000 pcs, even though it's already 
almost half-way sold out before it's own release. Gibson has decided to 
stiff itself for the production of the Blackface EDP, despite the fact 
that every one of them has been sold or spoken for. Electrix shot 
itself in the foot by listening to it's marketing department too much. 
Line6's loopers are definitely useable yet crippled. Funny enough 
Roland seem to make the coolest looper currently purchaseable, for 
reasons which i do not completely understand; i believe the DD-20 was 
an "happy accident".

I am looking forward to Matthias finishing his work for the Chameleon 
and selling it to us.
