Phrase Loop PlayPhrase Loop is a recorder function that lets you record up to 38 
seconds (when using monaural recording) of audio, and play it 
back by operating a pedal. By layering sounds as you continue 
real-time recording and playback, you can create a wide variety of 
performances.
You can record a phrase loop with eects, or you can add eects 
after a loop has been recorded. Adding eects after-the-fact lets 
you create special eects with recorded performances.
* Recorded phrases are deleted when Phrase Loop is switched o 
or when the power is turned o.
