It kinda goes back to the "you get what you pay for" thing, sort of, I mean it's as I said before, figure out what feature sets you need, buy the looper that fits that bill and figure out what it's limitations are and how to work within them and how to break out of them. so, instead of ranting about which looper is better, just go with it, I mean I'm still looking for a device that'll play my guitar for me so I don't have to. --- Paul Richards <paulrichard_rocks@yahoo.com> wrote: > (LP1 can import and export loops, should that be > your wish, from a laptop or an IP assignable network > drive (I gather, it's not something i've ever done, > or thus far had any inclination to do) and also has > feedback control, mappable independent volume and > feedback for each of the channels etc. etc. etc. > It's versatile.
