     The closest thing I can think of is to record in stereo with 
different instruments going to
different channels, but this doesn't get at what you want to do.  So the 
answer is no...

     Stop being a wimp and get yourself a mixer :)  You can pick up a new 
one from Behringer for
about $50 that will do everything you are asking for.

     To turn dry mute on, press stop and overdub at the same time.  Then 
the Repeater will only
pass the loop and not the original signal.  You have to do this every time 
you power up, the
Repeater does not remember the last mute setting.

     Where did you get that idea?  Condor Electronics in Seattle is the 
authorized repair shop for
all things Electrix.  I am a good friend of the owner and they certainly 
aren't going out of
business anytime soon.  Electrix is even honoring all warrantee claims on 
their gear.

     I wouldn't worry about unplugging stuff, your gear is susceptable to 
going T.U. on you if you
drop it or expose it to water or extremes of temperature.  Keeping the 
gear in a SKB case is good
enough protection.

     Happy looping,
