I'm looking into maybe using the Boss DD-20. It's stereo, has like 23 sec of loop/delay time and a bunch of other features. The cool thing about it is it's $229. The bad thing about it is you can't control feedback in loop mode. I think I may be able to get around this using it in the effects loop of a mixer. There's the Repeater, which is my main looper of choice. Why? Because you can get them for around $600 (I got mine for $550 new!) they are steeped in features such as reverse playback, time stretch and dilation and best of all (IMO) it will chase a midi clock better than any other looper *ever*. The EDP is great, but change the tempo a bit and you're lost. Bad news is, don't try and find one at the Guitar Center or anywhere else. Electrix went down hard a year or so ago. You can still get service though, though TC Electronics, as they were both part of IVL. (a big audio chip/gear maker) There are a few other issues with the Repeater, but I love mine to death. Every time I think, "I should buy another looper for a small show mini rig, maybe an EDP... Hmmm I could get a Repeater for a lot less and have it stereo or 4 track mono... hmmmm." Silly. Anyway, hope that helps. Not much choice for stereo loopers in today's topsy turvy world. Good luck.
