And >if you're not in such a set-up, simply use the jack labeled "mono". I think stereo pass-thru like this can be useful in some situations, although I've never found that looping a stereo signal in mono is very satisfying. I don't think its a bad thing to have on a piece of gear. But.... >Nothing deceptive here at all, folks.

Lexicon also doesn't go to great length to point out that the loop is only recorded in mono. When you see stereo ins and outs on a box, you tend to think it's a stereo device. Consequently, I've met a lot of Jamman users who thought they were buying a stereo looper and were quite upset to discover that they hadn't. That, I think, is deceptive.
