Well, not to diss the LP1, but wasn't the price of the EDP around that a while back? The EDP isn't all THAT far from an LP-1 class unit.


I seem to remember buying one from Alto Music for around $600.00.


Yeah, and the Echoplex was made in much larger numbers with pretty old technology, and without the option to have the software upgraded without buying the new version when it comes out every few years. 

The Looperlative is made with brand new technology, and is freely upgradeable when Bob can get the upgrades out in response to user requests. I'd say that's a whole other notion. 

With the Echoplex, you get years and years of development that has formed the software to the place it is now at (with a pretty incredible set of features, I think). With the LP1 
you're buying into a start-up, one with on-going support and development. Different products for different needs. If you'd only be prepared to buy one for $599,  that's your choice, but I think you're going to have a very long wait....
