Re: repeater question

["Doug Cox" <bickleypunk@pdq.net>]

I'd describe Feedback Level as:
The volume level of the loop as it's fed back into the next loop.

So if I leave it at Max, the loop never dies and stays at the same volume
forever.
If I back it off, each successive occurance of the loop is quieter, until 
it
fades away.
If I take to 0, the next occurance of the loop will be silent.

Hope that helps.

Doug
