Well, I'll be clear. The Looperaltive is a beautifully superior unit in my opinion. And I am convinced Bob will continue to update it until to far surpasses the expectations of user. And a day doesn't go by when I don't look at my rack, see it, and feel great about owning the unit. But the truth of the matter is that now that my notebook is meeting all of my looping and effect needs and more (and I also have a backup notebook system ready to go), the rack is really becoming obsolete. I'd love to keep the LP1 around, but I'm not sure when I'll use it. Today, I'm thinking more in terms of optimization, utilization, how much time I really have in a day, and really using what I have. In the last month, I have been cleaning house and selling virtually all the gear I own that I don't use or plan to use for an upcoming gig. I have this rack and a couple Rocktron Velocity guitar cabinets, that about does it. So, I am not quitting on the Looperlative because of any fault of the unit or because I don't think highly of it, but because the laptop has finally proven its case for me...and thanks to Jeff and Mobius. If it weren't for Mobius, I probably wouldn't have made the switch. It feels liberating to finally make the commitment 100% to a notebook system, walk the talk, and not have a hardware system in the back as a security blanket. I know that in my conversation with other loopers, like Rick, Ted, and others, that they like to have more options available to them and not set on one particular unit. For example, Rick has an EDP, LP1, Repeater, and some floor units I guess. That works well for him, but not for me. My life is complicated enough trying to maintain a non-music career in the IT business and focus on my family, so simplicity in my gear setup really clears my mind and helps me focus. It is hard for me to focus on the playing when I have so much gear laying around that I have to maintain, keep using so that I can remember how to use it, etc. I can't even describe in words how good it feels to walk into a gig with my guitar, notebook computer, and an FCB. I guess it comes down to personal choice and the philosophy one is trying to maintain when it comes to creating good music. I admit my choice does not come without risks, but I have addressed those with a backup system, which I bring to every gig. And if I didn't have that, I'd do what any well-rounded musician like myself would do, namely play my instrument solo without any gear or looping. I can do that.
