Default Anyone got a looper?

I have been thinking about getting a JamMan, Echoplex Digital Pro or Akai Headrush. If you have ever seen Phil Keaggy play and use his looper you would understand why. I don't ever expect to do what he does, but I though it might be useful for practicing and/or writing songs. Anybody use one or have any thoughts/recommendations?

the Jam man is great! one of my friends has one, it's really expensive though. I don't know of any other loopers, if you find one that is good and cheap though, please let me know, I would also like to find something like that

In a week or two, I am picking up a Boss RC-20. It has 5 minutes of recording time. Has some other features like you can record a cd a slow it down to learn it with out changing the pitch. Sounds good too. It will be great on my acoustic gigs. They are $300 at Guitar Center but I printed out a price of $250 off the net and they said they would match it.

Good Luck

Stephan,
Did you get it? How do you like it?

Picked it up last week. I like it a lot. Sounds pretty good but not perfect. Does color the sound a little but I am using different strings now to so it is hard to tell how much. You have to play with it a little to get the right volume both for in and out but still pretty easy. Pretty easy to use. Common sence. I am gigging with it on wednesday and looking forward to it. Finally will be able to solo. Also easy to record with an outside source. You can even record something and slow it down without changing pitch. Great for transcribing. I got it for $250 with the print out above.

Any other questions just let me know.

Good Luck

I have a Line6 DL4 which does up to 28 seconds of looping plus alot of delay stuff. It does a pretty good job with the audio quality, but alot of the time I need just another 2 or 3 seconds when I find my loop time has expired.

I think if I was looking for a looper I'd go with one that has longer loop times. If I was looking for a delay unit, I like the Boss DD5 better than the Line6 DL4.

Peace.
