I've got my signal split so that the JamMan is in a separate audio path, just so that I can cut down on hiss, but the DL4 has all the signal going through it, so I need to be able to turn down the loop volume without losing what else I'm playing... > (if one feels truly pedexterous, one could use 2: 1 at output, 1 at > input.....)

I'd love to have a DL4 with a feedback control, that would be great, but as it hasn't got it, I'm more than happy with having an expression pedal control the 'mix level', which is what it's called on the box... It also means that I can fade things out, and then back in, which you can't do with feedback, as far as I know... cheers Steve web-site - www.steve-lawson.co.uk e-mail - steve@steve-lawson.co.uk mailing list - steve-lawson-subscribe@listbot.com "Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight, You've got to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight" - Bruce Cockburn March 2nd - David Friesen live in London, supported by me. gig at 8pm, jazz workshop at 2pm - see www.solobassnetwork.org.uk for more info.
