hey dennis,

you don't have to be recording per se on the dl4 to use the reverse
preset. you can just select it as you would any of the modeled delay
presets. it does take some getting used to as there is some inherent
delay in the reverse. i'm sure someone else can give a much better
explanation of this :-)  i usually use the dl4 for the reverse and the
sweep delay as an effect and then loop that signal with the boomerang,
then send the looped signal to something else to effect on the fly. i
picked up some of the cheap electrix stuff (mo-fx, filter factory,
vocoder) and love doing this with it! i also run the loops thru a vortex
occasionally. other effects in the pre-looper path vary (boss octave,
bass microsynth, spacestation, korg filter...). i've been patiently
waiting for my repeater to arrive :-)  as kim mentioned, i bought it more
as a recorder than a looper and also as an interface to transfer my live
loops to the 'puter for composing/mixing. i'm hoping all the talk about
this not being possible is overkill... but that's another topic! 

anyway, i really dig having tactile, floor based loopers like the dl4 and
boomerang as my main loopers. i had an edp for awhile, but just wasn't
patient enough to dig any deeper than what the rang or dl4 could do. i'll
prolly buy another one some day, but after seeing what steve lawson did
with just 2 dl4's at the la loop feste, i feel like i still have more
digging to do with my meager gear. oh, and andre completely blew my mind
with his use of the edp! i guess i just ain't smart enuf for that fancy
stuff ;-)

hope this was of some help,

tony
