Whoa...is there time-stretching, apart from pitch? Or are you referring to the simultaneous pitch/time shifting? Artifacts = yummy! I didn't realize it had reverb. I'm never too interested in that but if it's crappy and "mushy" as you say I might find it useful. Too bad about the batteries. thanks, Andy - Daryl Shawn www.swanwelder.com www.chinapaintingmusic.com > Rainer pretty much covers the subject here, so I'll just add a couple > of points > > Rainer Thelonius Balthasar Straschill wrote: >> Short summary: got one, don't really need it (had already two looper >> stompboxes), but didn't return it. >> >> Slightly longer version: >> There are three things that suck: >> 1. varispeed is only available for the looper, not for the delays >> 2. you have to hold down one footswitch for recording/overdubbing >> (not so much of a problem if you're wearing shoes) > > I don't have any problem without shoes, but it's a somewhat clunky way > to make a loop and not so easy to get it accurate > >> 3. no independent mix control for looper and delay > > In general you can either control the delays, or the loop, but not both. > You can't stop the Loop without turning off the delays. > >> 4. only delays up to 3 seconds > > and tap time won't go up to the full 3s > > 5.

Can be persuaded to be a flanger or chorus with a bit of effort.
