Re: Software vs Hardware loopers

["Mark Showalter" <folkstone57@operamail.com>]

Hello All,

Well, it would be nice if you could let someone else get up on stage & 
play unless you happen to be the act booked in for that night. As far as 
batteries in your pedals, I haven't used batteries in my pedals for as 
long as I can remember. I always used power supplies as most pedals do a 
lot better with a steady source of electricity, something I learned when 
the first pedal I ever tried went completely bonkers on me. Learned me 
lesson I did.

As for the rest of the stuff......now you're just whining ;-)
