hi-

It takes some practice and a good understanding of what the echoplex is 
doing with undo in order to use it effectively, much as any instrument 
takes a bit of practice. I encourage you to read (or re-read) the section 
on Undo in the users manual, as that has a fairly good explanation. Also, 
there have been a variety of useful posts about Undo made to the Looper's 
Delight list that may be helpful:

there are many more. Dig into the Looper's Delight mailing list archives, 
you will find a tremendous source of info there.
