Welcome to the list :) The information on LD is a little old, but that is because there has not been a lot of hugely new developments in looping equipment over the past couple of years. The last piece of dedicated kit designed for the average budget was the now defunct Electrix Repeater. If you can afford it, try getting both an EDP and a Repeater. I have the latter, but wish for the former as well. The two from what I have heard work in beautiful harmony together. At the moment, the only other option for pro live looping is the Kyma system, but it falls out of most people's budget at about $3500 for the basic setup, plus another $300 for the looping software. If money is no object, then I'd seriously search the LD archives for more info about the Kyma and Dennis' software. At the lower end of the market, check out the Line6 DL4 - I have used it with microphones, and have performed most of my music using a single DL4 pedal. It seems to have a good frequency range, and is noiseless - especially when run on batteries (30 hours use on a good set of alkalines).... Thats my 0.2cents. I'm sure that I've missed something, and other people will have other ideas.... (dont flame me guys) :) Good luck. -- Stuart Wyatt (Solo String Project) - http://SoloString.com
