Thanks for the suggestion Rick.  I actually had a DL-4 that I traded to a
friend.  It had some problems with the switches.  I did consider getting
another one, and perhaps I still will.  It seems like the Boss RC-20 might 
suit
my needs a bit better.  My plan is to use the second looper primarily as a
vocal looper and an ambient looper, and use the EDP for the more rhythmic
stuff.

Thanks again,
John
