I'd be interested to >know which pedals do this and which don't :-) I don't think there are any pedals that do that. The Gibson Echoplex does it easily with the multiply function. The Repeater also has a multiply function, but its version of multiply is less flexible and not so intuitive to use live. >I know Keller Williams uses a Jam Man, which I found odd because I >didn't read very many positive reviews about them.

At that price you are only going to get very simple loopers with many limitations, and none of them will do the functions you are looking for. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
