seems to be a frequency response issue.  The high frequencies are 
truncated.

Actually I've (so far) only looped my Bass guitar.  It's a decent 
Steinberger, with active EMG pickups.  Nice high end.  I haven't tried 
it with anything else yet, mostly due to setup considerations.  Not sure 
the best place to put the EDP.  My guitar signal becomes stereo very 
quickly, and I use a lot of synth stuff too.  I've set it up so that I 
have a separate mono bass setup, and use my EDP for that.  (I know, BUY 
ANOTHER EDP!)

Note, it's not GLARING.  Better than the JamMan.  I've just gotten used 
to the fidelity and the stereo sound of the Repeater, and I just hear a 
slight loss of "presence" with the EDP.  Am I the only one who notices 
it?  I'm not even listening to it on high end studio monitors.  I'm 
using a pair of Mackie 450s, and I hear the difference for sure.
