also the mixdown track made the 2880 more than 4 loops, arguably.

Soft switches on the foot controller!
The clicky DPDTs threw off my timing and went back to the far inferior Boss RC-20 lamenting what could have been.

It’s more than just the click, it’s the actual action of the switch that causes this slight delay that I just couldn’t get over.
Now that I’ve done the soft latch switch changeout to my Freeze, I wish I hadn’t sold off my 2880. I could’ve switched out ALL the switches on the footpedal and been superhappy. I agree the Boss is nowhere near the fidelity of the 2880. Dammit.
I hope they come out with another looper soon.

my list of improvements would include:

-standard-
1. optional loop sync between the four tracks: synced, asynchronous or multiplied (like the boomerang 3)
2. one button bounce/mix-down (then erasing/clearing the individual tracks)
3. one button delete for individual tracks

-advanced-
4. ability to adjust/trim loop beginning and end points – effectively allowing one to record a longer passage and loop specific sections. (like the timefactor)

-wish-
5. along with the capability in #4, it would be great to have the ability to locate/determine where the looped section is in the longer passage (the adjusting/trimming determines the looping length, the locate feature determines where that length is along the entire passage).

sick of all these single loop/overdubs with undo loopers. make it a sixteen track looper with sequencer that’s fully midi-able.

Hi,

I lost my prior email/user name so starting with a “fresh account” I own a EHX The Freeze, Cathedral Reverb, SMMH, and a 2880 Looper with Foot Controls (registered, opened box but never used) as were any of these effects and a few other manufacture;s
(due to spinal surgery, followed by knee injury, a surgery that went well not well, followed by a 2nd knee surgery then (total 8 injections )

As the 2880 Looper and Foot pedal have been discontinued sadly, my ? is hold on to it or sell now or wait a bit

The other EHX pedals were not inexpensive either but not at the cost of the 2880, and ideas of what a fair price would be
It would have to be listed used (though unused) both still packed in their boxes, in a smoke free home , Could use the funds as well

but after doing so much research and posting here and getting nothing but + info on the unit I bought it 9without regrets too)

Thanks, Sorry if posted in a in correct area

I think I posted something about soft switches on another string, but since then I’ve gotten used to the 2880’s click switches. I started on the Boss 20XL, but I’ve never gone back — as far as playing at home. If I’m doing an acoustic gig and am keeping load-in light the 20XL is better and the soft switches don’t disturb the ambiance. Honestly don’t know if I’d want soft switches on the 2880 now.

It’s the last pedal you want to bring to a jam, but I’ve gotten real good at making a good loop that a drummer could follow. I started out by exaggerating the stomp motion while playing a downstroke at the same time. Once those two motions get synched it becomes natural. Not all that different from learning to sync a foot with hands in drums.

but I still would like a:

1: Replacement for the memory card
2: A cordless foot controller
3: A function that automatically snaps the speed of the track back to the original key if the tempo is altered
