I agree, 6 out of 7 ain't bad :) Btw: I'm missing one feature Andy
Butler reported (see below). Is this possible with the Rang III?

Together with the feedback control per track, these are features I
always use. Btw: you suggested that the fade out feature as a
workaround but like Jeff said, an ambient looper is changing feedback
settings many times during a performance so I don't see that as a good
alternative.

I think 6 out of 8, if I understand it well the Rang can't go straight
into overdub mode when ending a loop your initial loop to create this
seamless ? But the audio specs look indeed good.
