this would be true except for devices designed specifically not to click at
the endpoint of the loop. (which I think should be the case for anything
designed for looping!)  We designed the echoplex this way, where it does a
quick crossfade between endpoint and startpoint, so you don't get a click.
In fact, I think the design was always that way, it seemed like a pretty
obvious requirement right from the start. I'm rather surprised that some of
these looping devices coming out now didn't do something similar. You
should be able to play anything into the loop, right up to the endpoint and
beyond, and never get a click.
