the device that derives Tap from the LED had the ability to spit out 
a fraction of the time between two pulses.  From a 1/32 on up.  It 
also would do multiples of the time, so I still could (if the thing 
worked :/) have that kind of control.

I had my JamMan and Repeater going for a while, and it was just too 
much for me.  There comes a time when you have to just forget 
possibilities and make some loops!  The worst show I ever did was 
when I tried to bring my entire home studio to a party.  I was 
overwhelmed with gear wrangling.  So far, the Repeater is plenty for 
me.
