Zoom & DOD as loopers

[David Myers <dmgraph@pulsewidth.com>]

Re the current talk about the Zoom 2100: if I am not mistaken, it appears
that this unit will only trap sample segments, i.e., it won't allow
continuous input to layer sounds over time.  I'm not sure that in the
context of Looper's Delight this is looping at all.  At any rate, it's a
very important distinction to make.  I hope anyone who has actually used
the unit will correct me if I am wrong about the 2100.

Also, I don't think I've seen mention of the DOD Dimension 12 on the list,
and a search of the archives didn't bring it up.  From a review I saw, it
seems that in "delay" mode the Dimension 12 will give 12 seconds of true
layered looping.  The only apparent bummer is no sync input, but being able
to dial in exact delay times would deal with that pretty well--enough so
for my needs at present, anyway.  I'm looking to add some minor looping
capability to my setup and haven't spotted a Digitech 7.6 or 8000 for some
time, so the Dimension 12 (at about $240 street) looks pretty good.  Anyone
tried one?
