Looping in London [UK]; and Tapped delay pedals?

Hi

<parochial mode>
For those in the London area: this Friday lunchtime (31st July, 12-2pm) I 
will be looping guitars etc in the Entrance Hall of the British Library's 
new building in Euston Road, NW1. It'll be pretty ambient - its a 
*library*, after all - but it'll give people a chance to see what the 
nation's spent its money on (the building - not me, obviously)
Further details, a map and WAVs @ <http://subnet.virtual-pc.com/~or387751>

I don't know if anyone answered Lee Wordsman's Zoom 508 question:

>Can you use the seamless patch change on the zoom to change from a 4 
>second delay on hold to a three second delay (with say 99% feedback) so 
>that you have two loops of different length evolving against each 
>other?  
     
Briefly - "yes". The seamless patch change lets you decide whether you 
want 
a patch to fade out after 3 or so repeats, or use the infinity setting to 
have it continue on until you switch to a third patch. So a 4" against 3" 
is do-able. Another tapped delay feature not mentioned is the rhythmic 
patterns that can be set-up using the 4 or 6 tap options. Not a tap-tempo 
thing, one of those bouncing-off-the-walls-at-funny-angles jobs. Sort of 
thing the Edge used quite a bit at one stage, as I recall (though not with 
the 508).

Cheers
