Not sure what you mean about fussing but quantization is never on unless
you
do a Tap tempo.

Yes except that you must be on a bank where no loop has been stored/saved.
If
you wanted to go from a recorded loop cycle to record a new loop you would
need to use a pedal switch or by hand turn the dial to an empty bank.
3. To over-dub an EXISTING loop, the process is the EXACT SAME, except
that
the existing loop MUST be playing when you press the left
pedal. Furthermore, over-dub is similar to the Repeater, in that you can
not go directly from recording a new loop to over-dubbing; but, instead,
you have to wait for one initial play cycle (or portion thereof).
I don't think you have to wait for a cycle, you just have to establish the
loop (left) then press the left again. Depends on how long your loop is.
I haven't used it live but it seems like having 2 RC's would be good. You
could have one dedicated to 10 established loops that you could move thru
while using the other empty RC to record new loops in realtime.
