>>you may ask "but silly Suit & Tie Guy, why would you bother jumping
through such hoops?" and i would answer "because now i have 2
hi-fidelity loopers with balanced connections in the space which used
to house my Repeater."<<
you wouldn't get asked that in my house- that "jumping through.. hoops" is part of the fun. just as "regular" instrumentalists have to know how to trim their reeds or chose the right gauge of strings, or where and how to oil a harp, those of us who decided to extract musical noises from circuit boards occasionally find ourselves getting out and getting under.
sometimes it's just maintenance, other times it's because of a fundamental disagreement with the designer(s). lots of people have said to me that the dl4 would be perfect if it was midi-clockable; sounds like line6 dropped the ball on the pro's feature set too. I am working up to hacking my dl4 to take an external tap-tempo while it's in echo mode; this should be fairly straightforward.... but we have the option of using a second jam-man instead- one for delay and one for loops. and if I can persuade our guitarist to try the sellon upgrade, we might not even need to do that. hmmm....
see, I was going to do all this "remedial" reworking on my old powertran mcs-1 "freezer box" but now this dod's on the way...
duncan.
