Getting back to this whole controversy over the Echoplex manual and my manual writing skills or lack thereof, I never was able to understand exactly what problem you have with the manual. You wrote a lot of nifty words and interesting literary references in order to say "the manual sucks". So far I've found this unhelpful, because there is a complete lack of specifics. Can you give some specific examples of how or where it sucks? Exactly what was wrong with it? And if I were to improve it, what exactly would I do? I wonder, is your problem with the manual one of expectations? Do you think a manual for a looper is going to teach you how to play the instrument and be a looper? It won't do that. Mostly, it will only explain the details of how the features operate. Or, compare to another context: Did you learn to play guitar in one afternoon by reading the manual that came with your guitar? Or did that manual only explain how to adjust the bridge and change the strings, and you learned to play from teachers and years of practice? kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@loopers-delight.com | http://www.loopers-delight.com
