I think what I am hearing is a volume fluctuation, but to me, it adds a 
beat to the loop - hence why I called it a click (am I making sense?). 
It introduces rhythm into a space where I dont want it... I'll try and 
record an mp3 of what my playing sounds like on the DL4, and try the 
same using a pre-recorded empty loop on the Repeater.

To me, it sounds much more than that.... I'll definitely have to upload 
a sample.

Possible. I've read on the Electrix forums some strange problems that 
other people have had that I have not experienced.

I doubt it. I've tried two (both 32Mb Scandisk), and the problem is 
still there. :(

I'm thinking seriously about getting an Echo Pro.... a rack mounted 
version of my beloved DL4. I know it does not have midi sync for the 
loops, but the freedom that the unit offers in its sheer simplicity is 
amazing. Anyone know if the loop sampler is in stereo?
