>1.  Is there an ideal EQ setting for looping?

I prefer no EQ

Yes

The ostinato is a technique used by many composers.

I doubt it.

Is this a question about groupies?

You used the word 'effect' in your question. A delay is really the only
'effect' that can repeat phrases. Reverbs with infinite decay or 'freeze'
functions, like the quantec are great for textures.

Vari-Speed

>8.  Will there ever be a "Triple Trio" with Primus joining King Crimson?

It was last tuesday, did you miss it?

Yes

Cats.
