i'm not sure if you've noticed but Boringer already have a looper in 
the Bass V-Amp. it sucks.

one of the actual creative minds at behringer rolled it into their 
bass-oriented POD clone because there's no way they could explore it 
fully in its own product.

remember: behringer makes lowest-common-denominator gear. they have two 
completely unique units: the Ultralink (a good looping tool in its own 
right) and the digital EQ/compressor/etc ... i am unable to remember 
its name but it's somthing like THE BITCHENISER despite the fact i know 
that's a joke plug in from a completely unrelated company.

bob has more to fear from a lawsuit by Gibson for making a device which 
can loop sound. considering the prior art involved in a concept like 
looping i'm sure that if the need arose he could probably defend 
himself at least as well as Jim Traficant in his 1983 RICO case and 
win.

personally i don't think he's in any danger of more than people just 
not buying his shit.

anyone checked out half-speed on the eventide yet?
