RE: Check out "Line 6 - Tonecore"

In my opinion, anyone interested in Line 6 gear, and modeling gear in
general, owes it to themselves to actually TRY the stuff out firsthand.
There is so much hype with these newly released gizmo's, and Line6 is
the biggest culprit of touting the wonders of their new products.  The
user base are the beta testers, essentially!  and if and when the
limitations of the gear becomes an issue, quite possibly Line6 isn't
going to do anything about it, or they have already moved their focus
onto their next product.

If you're ok with that (and begrudgingly, I am, cuz I own a few L6

yes the EchoPark spec's all look very interesting. "Sweep" and 
"Ducking" are parameters I'm very concerned with now when setting up a 
laptop looping meta-instrument. It's cool to see they also added 
"Reverse". If you buy one, Andreas, can you post a review?  ;-)

All the best
