Thanks Vartan K. I know lots of folks have incredible problems with the Repeater being noisy. I have experienced it too, but have somehow played with gain staging the signal chain enough to get by for now.Vince at audioproz does a great mod for $150

With so much new stuff coming out, and IVL changing the Repeater II release date further and further out, I'd rather just put the money towards a new looper device. That said, I bet many would pay for a repeater mod that allowed increased internal memory, fixed the incompatability with non-Hitachi controller compact flash cards issue and increased the memory size of the cards it could accomodate.(...in addition to taming the noise!)and..and.. and change the 1/4 inch unbalanced ins and out to TRS (like the electrix filter factory, warpfactory and mofx)
