Re: Retraction and apology to LD and Vox (Re: Vox Tonelab for looping)



Does it really?  Real self-oscillation?  You can change the pitch with 
the time knob?  If that's so then... WOW!  I'll have to check that out, 
as that would make it quite a unit.  I could swear I read that I would 
not self-oscillate, but I could easily be wrong about this.  If I keep 
the pedal board instead of the tonelab then I might have to check this 
out.  Thanks!
