I've actually done quite a bit of work on this unit. The prototype that I'm talking about will be the first unit built in the rack box. I have several empty rack boxes behind me just waiting for the final electronics. I will be doing beta testing before shipping to customers. I'll keep everyone informed of progress. As for details, I'm still keeping the details close to home. Especially now that the Repeater is returning to the market. I don't think that they could change their electronics that fast, but I'd rather not take a chance. As soon as I have the first rack unit operational, I will take pictures and release a complete list of specifications. I will say that my goal is to offer all the functionality of existing loopers combined with features that nobody else has. --On Monday, January 17, 2005 12:31 PM -0600 Doug Cox <dougcox@pdq.net> wrote: > Bob, > > Those are exciting plans!
