Re: jamman/stellac vs. repeater

[Mark Sottilaro <sine@zerocrossing.net>]

Hmmm, other than the fact that the JamMan can't be totally controlled via 
it's
front faceplate (the only way to get a loop to fade is via a midi message) 
I
always thought the interface was simple and easy to use.  Never had a 
problem
getting it to synch to midi either, although I'd get a "click" at the 
start of
a loop sometimes, but usually not, or not noticeable.

I've been thinking of eBaying my JamMan, but I keep thinking it's worth 
hanging
onto for a second loop rig for small/short gigs, like open mic nights.  I 
do
know that I do not use it since I purchased the Repeater though....
