Re: Re: The EDP and the Looperlative and me
Wow, thanks, Bro.
I just learned a butt load about my own LP-1 from that description.
I've gotten trouble a few times because my feedback had been changed mid
song. The erase/feedback 100% trick is worth it's weight in gold
to me.
I can't believe I didn't figure it out, but you always lead the way.
thanks, Rick
