If you couldn't tell, I'm very late in responding to e-mail. Sorry if I'm rehashing too many old threads for people. About why I think the EDP is too complicated for a performance setting (at least in my case). Like many people on the list, I've got a ton of pedals sitting around my feet when I perform. The less I have to concentrate on any one, the better. Once I've got my loop into the boomerang, I pretty much only use one button, the overdub one. Sometimes I'll hit the reverse. I like the simplicity of the 'rang. I also like the fact that it's built like a tank. I imagine that if I spent some serious time with the EDP, I could probably be as comfortable with it as well. A friend of mine had two EDP units and sold them both and bought 'rangs because he got tired of getting confused while trying to play. Like I said, the EDP sounds like a nifty tool for my studio work (where I can spend time crafting my loops), but in a performance setting, it's more than I need to deal with. Now, when is someone going to create a looper that can have two (or more) different length loops playing simultaneously fighting with each other. .
