Well, I just found that the fluorescently-labelled protein Avidin doesn't
undergo a dispersion in pH 9-10 solutions except for the funny collection
behaviour below 200kHz.... oh you mean the JamMan, right?  ;)

And it's Michael, not Dr Hughes!  The ,phd bit just needs to be there for
my job, that's all...

Like I say, I've only had this when changing loop limes using the
front-panel "divide-by" function.

I mean loop times.  Wonder what a loop lime tastes like?
How about loop kippers?  They tend to repeat on people...!

Yes and no.  To counter that I usually tap the delay time to a second or so
straight after startup to avoid that.  I also turn the guitar down.

This has been the most exciting bit for me - with 2 delays I find the sound
fills out enough to not require any more effects.
