Agreed. I picked up the 2880 a few years back and thought it was a brilliant little machine. Actually spent some time trying to use it as a proper recording control surface/interface but found it to be too much of a hassle.

Here’s my issue, I want to record and mix inside the box initially, leaving me with fewer decisions to make once I decide to put my tracks on a DAW, and as a result, making fewer bad decisions in the editing process.

But yeah, though I love the 2880, and I’m sure the 45000 is a wonderful device; however I’m holding out for EHX to produce a proper gadget for home studios. I do expect that it would be a game changer, and their loopers, with a few additions such as an EQ, additional inputs, and better DAW compatibility, would be the perfect template.
