Re: belew/headrush-LOOP TIME

The new AMS catalog says that it has a looping mode that features
11.9 seconds of looping and delay times from 10ms to 5.9 seconds
these stat's seem to conflict with what I had initialy heard so I gues I
want to know how much loop time is avalible???

If you just want to do a single layered loop then you have 23.8 sec.  For 
a 
multi layered (infinite number) loop then you have 11.9 sec.
In delay mode you have from 0 to 23.8 sec. of delay time with a variable 
(via 
knob twiddling) number of fading repeats ("feedback lvl") from 1 to 
infinite 
(could be used as a looper by layering delays then turning the "feedback" 
knob to max. then bypassing the unit via an A/B switch - like using the 
Jman's delay mode for looping. 
In "Tape/ echo" mode your max delay time is 5.9 sec. but you have 4 - 5.9 
sec 
delays (emulating 4 tape heads supposedly). I say "supposedly" because I 
haven't messed with that mode yet.
