Wow. *That's* a nice setup. Like a band of players. Must be terrible to
move
though, all these cables... I was thinking of maybe using a SwitchBlade
(if that's
the name), a device that allows one to patch stuff together in a
programmable
fashion. I see now how easy it is to *need* several loopers. Couple of
drones,
etc.

I can easily believe that.

I just ordered the MPX-G2 with a 20 secs simple JamMan. As an alternative
I can use the dual delay, which gives me 2 independent 10 second mono
delays.
Both the JamMan and mono delays in tge G2 have awsome sound quality.
When the DL-4 audio spec is okay, I might add a DL-4, but I can't get my
hands
on that spec. :-(
Thanks for the info. Very inspiring.
