I highly doubt that this is the case. The entire range of these new 
EH pedals is based on DSP algos. The signal path is likely straight 
to anA/D and then back out the D/A. In order to have trailing echos 
one would need to mute the signal to the delay while keeping the dry 
signal intact.  This would either require an external mixer and 
external switching or access to the DSP code and a programming 
station, or several letters to Electro Harmonix to include this as an 
option...

I was told that the pots in the 2880 are all simply control voltages, 
it is possible that these are similarly implemented.
