Thanks, interesting to hear about that setup in detail. I have a  
strategy for using a second laptop as "drum machine" but so far I  
have not received any gig requesting that. For reverb I'm fine so far  
with adding it pre looping. The trick is to remember that you have to  
end "record" with overdub whenever you lay down a loop layer through  
a reverb sound. I like the option to lay down a huge reverb layer and  
then overdub with a more close-up reverb. And I also like being able  
to cut the reverb on purpose... and reverse a recorded reverb of a  
single hit sound.
