Re: Retraction and apology to LD and Vox (Re: Vox Tonelab for looping)
First I want to say that you're totally right and I apologize. In my
haste at getting a new piece of gear ready before a gig, I admit I
didn't go very deep into each effect. I thought I had a patch set up
with the hold delay that did what I was talking about... but it was
*not* the hold delay effect. It was one of the other delay effects
that do sound like the PDS-8000 when you sweep the time. What's more
of a bummer is that for some reason you can only assign a tap tempo to
the hold delay and you can't even control the delay time with one of
the pedals.

This you can do for sure. I've got a patch set up where one of the
expression pedals controls how much signal you're putting in the delay
line. Toe up, 100%. Heel down 0%.

Actually, though disappointed, I kind of dig that for weird noisy stuff.

So, again I say I'm sorry for the hasty post. While the Tonelab does
have some cool delay models, the 8 sec looper, while still cool,
doesn't behave like a bunch of it's other delays. How about the Hughs
and Kettner Replex? I hear great things about that one.
