Ditto on Stephen's enthusiasm/ I have a Jammie and an RDS 8000 (rack mount 8 sec.--same as 7.6) and love them both--the Time Machine is a great unit for the bucks and has knobs for real-time tweakability not to mention chorusability and flangeing--things I CAN"T do with the Jammie --if you want to do a pedal with knobs, the DOD delay pedals are about $100 discounted for 4 secs. of loops (got one of those too, but like the time machine much better) The Zoom ppedal packs alot of power into a pedal, but you have to SCROLL :( I LIKE KNOBS drone on~~~~Tom >>I happened across a used Digitech Time Machine (4 second delay) for >149.00 >at a local guitar store that features used equipment. > > >I got my 7.6 Time Machine for $125 via the Recycler, a used equipment >paper >(that's also ONLINE at http://www.recycler.com) back in 1992... and it's >still ticking! > >>I long to join the ranks of loopers but can't spare the cash for a more >current looping device. > >Thus my enthusiasm for the 7.6, given my own relatively destitute status. > >>Can I create a loop or an infinite repeat with a time machine? > > >Most definately yes.
