Re: My thoughts on the ELECTRO HARMONIX 2880

Kim,
  I understand the confusion. I was uncertain of how these would interact, 
too.

The block diagram explains it pretty well, and if this list would 
allow images I would send it.

Simply put, the audio path is arranged so that the output is fed back 
to the input -post fader-, so in any mode, record, overdub, the fader 
is active,  while in "punch in" mode ( aka "replace" ) the feedback 
is obviously disabled.  I still expect this to present a problem, 
since the feedback depends on the track levels, but so far it has not 
been an issue.
