Hi Scott, about reverb looping I can tell Eventide 4000 (dsp or gtr) is a wonderful machine (you need to use something outside for looping). It already has some interesting delays with long reverbs inside, the quality and sensitivity to dynamics is really from another world. Sure it would be possible to do looping reverb, but you might need some more delay modules that would be available with expansion cards (...pricey!!!). Infact reverbs take a good quantity of machine's resources so that you can add just short delays/loops. Notice that 4000 has a very strange thing inside: it hasn't a tap tempo control to allow you to control the start/stop of loop or delay time. At the moment I am experimenting with a time control module to connect to outside pedals; if you would be interested I could update you about the results. About DT Video, may I ask you where did you find it? I am in Italy and no way to find them here; any suggestion? Thanks and ciao, Luca ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott A.
