Looper's Delight

Ben, The RC-20 and the Line 6 share equal time as my main loopers. I don't really do quick loops, but I do a lot of stacked thick stuff: e-bow bass parts, for example, and both loopers do a wonderful job of not sounding muddy. I like both about equally. Both are easy to use on the fly. The Line 6 is better in that it has other delay effects, including the ability to add delay to the "solo" part not looped. The Boss is better in that it can store multiple loops. For my purposes, I see no need for anything more sophisticated in terms of the looper itself, but I'm now toying with ways to archive and recall loops across time and space (IOW to reproduce previously recorded loops at performances.) The solution I'm going to start with is the Korg Electribe S sampler/sequencer for that purpose. For the bucks, you can't go wrong with the RC-20.
