A couple of things: Fripp is currently using four 2290's while Trey
doesn't
use one at all.  (Fripp has enough for both?!)  Also, on Trey's great
sounding 
new album, "The Third Star", he uses the eventide box almost
exclusively.  
He's got the long sampling board option in his box.  

Also, a friend at Eventide tell me that they're working on the
DSP/GTR4500.  
This would have four independent inputs and outputs, stereo looping
ability
of up to six (or was it eight) minutes using standard 72 pin simms, and
too
many other features to recall.
