I don't notice the glitch in the looper mode. So, if there is a glitch, it's NOTHING like the RC50 glitch, which is like a 200ms glitch. Also, like Ian said, you can make the looper do 48 seconds by using 1/4 time mode. the sound quality doesn't suffer much that way like other pedals. I also love that you can make presets that save the looper time and if you've made a loop in one time/preset and go to another preset it keeps the loop going and changes the pitch to the next preset's time. VERY COOL. The only thing I miss is reverse looping. Other than that it's a fantastic box. I'm sure they will upgrade it to do reverse looping soon as it is one of the most requested features. tk On Feb 6, 2008, at 4:15 PM, Ian Popperwell wrote: > Hi Chris, > Just spotted your email again, I'd kept it from a while ago. > > Firstly, the TimeFactor is (in my view) an exceptional delay pedal > with incredibly good sounding delay models, great flexibility and > lots of options for external control (MIDI, very flexibly > assignable external footswitches and expression pedal).
