The echoplex can undo multiple layers of overdubs one by one, all the way back to the original version. This can give an impression of multiple tracks of loops, when really there is one. Many people use the Undo function as a performance technique, where they build up a dense loop of many overdubs, than remove layers with undo to simplify it again, and then overdub again to build something different. The echoplex is the only looper that has multiple layers of undo. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
