Re: The Big Bump issue.

Because the Repeater had non volatile memory, you could record your silent 
loops
before you even start performing.  Days or months before.  I know this 
takes away
from the spontaneity of the loop, but until (or if?) they get the ability 
to end a
loop and put you directly into overdub, this is the way it will have to 
happen if
you're using a Repeater.
