Title: Re: EDP cost/promotion/etc and some figures for thought

I think the only thing people want improved about the edp is the cost.
£1800 for a stereo looper is serious money. 
I would be perfectly happy with the edp if it would just go back down to the price I paid for it two years ago. Then I could buy another!
But its now double the price, 
and it must be clear that investing such huge sums of money into a piece of hardware that requires very little processor power is risky.
I think everyone agrees that the edp is brilliant,
The frustration is there are no cheap loopers with midi sync to use with the edp.
