42.something if you put more SIMM in it. it's definitely not for 
everyone. i spent a couple days getting presets rigged up and MIDI CCs 
mapped for things like multiply, input level (record vs play, if you 
will), and loop clear.

but for me it is _exactly_ what i want in a looper. i never have to 
"start" a loop, and to dump the loop memory there's just one control: 
clear delay memory on/off. i use the Adjust control to change the 
number of seconds or bars in my loop (yes, it will do rhythmicly timed 
loops, if you want to get out a calculator. the internal BPM calculator 
is not as accurate as i'd like).

it also glitches when you change delay length incrementally. this is an 
handy feature sometimes.

for the type of ambient looping i do (which is basically a Fripp 
pastiche) it's the best there is. it's totally clean ... very very 
clean. it's stereo, and it has balanced connections. and a bad-ass 
flourescent display.
