which is why I mentioned the EDP/G2 combo - given that we were talking 
about
multiple loops at a certain price-point (sorry, I should have made it
clearer that that's what I was getting at...) - in very general terms the
Eventide gives you loads of processing power, and some cool loop features.
My combination of MPX-G2 and EDP gives me lots of looping (all the usual 
EDP
stuff, plus 20 seconds of loop or delay in the G2, including the ability to
post process that loop etc...), and the pricing would probably work out a
fair bit less than an Orville.

No biggie - they would certainly end up sounding and functioning rather
differently, and it ultimately would come down to taste...
