This *is* what I wanted to hear 8). I´m basically into drones ad noise, and
I´m thinking of Robert Rich or Jeff Greinke as far as references for my own
music are concerned. No "looper as an instant band in a box" replacement

Thanks for the info, now I´m waiting for the first second-hand units to
appear on the market. At a considreably lower price, of course 8).
