THe echoplex has only mono in and out The echoplex has syncing abilities so you can easily set up two of them for stereo. Or more than two for multi-track looping.

Their lengths can independent of each other, which I don't think is true of the jamman. You can also copy audio or the time base from one to another. You can switch to any loop you like, rather than just cycling through them, and you can trigger them with midi like a sampler. It works quite well for your idea of creating compositions with different loops for each section, and switching between them at will. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
