Re: LP2 at namm



I liked playing around with it, my only two points were that it would be 
nice to know what effect is armed, and the effects work on the whole set 
of primary loop and overdubs, which is a bit foriegn to me, but I'm used 
to the LP1. 

By the way, chatter from bob at the show was he will be putting some time 
on the LP1 this year, woo hoo!!!
