RE: echoplex question

["Gary Lehmann" <healthquestrecruiter@earthlink.net>]

Not to be contrary (no, really) but there is an easy way to do this with a
MIDI pedal.  End the loop with a message containing info to turn on overdub
and turn down the feedback all the way.  Then end the second pass with a
message containing info to turn off overdub and turn up the feedback all 
the
way.  Purty elegant and it achieves the desired effect--great for recording
a melody, then chords, and then just chords over which to solo yer brains
out (use caution: results are more interesting to the player than the
listening party).

PS  Have I mentioned recently that my looper can kick your looper's butt up
and down the street?
PPS  I still want a Repeater.

The echoplex >can't< do this. It can do a lot of other cool things, but it
is a single, mono track machine. You can have more than one loop, but not 
at
the same time. The repeater can, however.
