Lance - most people (myself included) miss the fact that the RPTR literature states that it is a "loop based recorder" which I think answers most questions. not sure about Perille's gear or the RS item, but check 'em all out in a hands on manner if at all possible is my best advice. best regards, Pedro Felix - NYC 2002 --- Lance Chance <lrc8918@louisiana.edu> wrote: > I have a Gibson echoplex and I just acquired an > electrix repeater.
