Steven's 2100s

["Timothy Mungenast" <mungenast@earthlink.net>]

Heyo Steven!
I tried to send this reply just to you, but your silly spam filter kicked
it out, saying "Mail with Subject lines containing "1z" are rejected."
(Huh?)
So you have a 2100 as well? 
Two of them, no less? 
Cool! Zoom's lower-end units are very effective if you find out what
they're good at and stick with it. What's your take on the mighty Player?
I've had mine for 6 years and haven't quite grokked it... its menu makes my
eyes glaze over (LOL). Compared to my beloved-but-hissy 505, the reverb is
miles better but the pitch-related stuf isn't as tactile, somehow. And I
still need to understand the looping aspect of it...I'm embarrassed to say
that its lack of knobs seems to have hampered my full exploration.
