Hello list, I was at NAMM yesterday as well, and spent quite a bit of time at the Electrix booth, talking to both Damon and another fellow there (whose name escapes me). Both were very helpful and informative. I think Rich pretty much summed it up with his last post, in terms of functionality, software issues, etc. It seemed clear that the Electrix team were very anxious to get the product out there, but at the same time the unofficial theme seemed to be, "We will serve no looper before its time." In other words, they want to iron out all of the bugs in the software before shipping. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the lingering myths about the Echoplex being buggy are a factor here. Speaking of the EDP, I'm sure one of the big questions here is, "How does Repeater compare to the Echoplex." I can't pretend to offer a conclusive answer to that, since I spent about a half hour watching and/or playing with the Repeater, as opposed to five years using an EDP. My gut reaction is that these units share a lot of common ground, but that there are areas with each one that the other doesn't touch. I also found a distinctly different psychological "feel" to each unit (again, bearing my obvious predispositions in mind). I can't possibly make any further meaningful commentary until I actually know my way around a Repeater, so I'll stop there. I had a very good time talking with the Electrix staff, and I wish them all the best of luck in getting the unit out to the world ASAP. --Andre LaFosse http://www.altruistmusic.com PS -- So tell me, Damon, what does a person have to do to be a Beta tester?!
