Hi Tim,

I only have the Headrush.  One of my favourite tricks is to use it in its 
delay
mode with lots of feedback to keep the first loop from dying out too fast.
Sorta like a 23.x sec looper stuck in permanent overdub mode.  Yet I drool 
for a
Boss RC-20.  For an extra $100 or so, it has 10 loops that can be saved 
thanks
to battery power.  Max sampling time is 5.5 minutes, too!

Cheers,

Bill
