hello, from what I read on your post, you do not want to do lots of really fancy/tricky/strange things, glitching or whatever. I have to say that the Boomerang also has a feedback control; you can create loop A, play it, overdub something (phrase B) to it, let the result play, overdub and/or play along, etc etc... if you turn off overdubbing, the result will continue looping as it is (and you can play along); if you let overdub on, the resul will continue looping, fading out according to the number of repeats you configured for that loop (and you can always play along); and this is for each of the 2 loops (A/B) available on the Boomerang, each one having a configurable different feedback rate. 3 more things : as far as I know, - the Boomerang is currently available (no postponed delivery dates); - it is still in production and supported (unlike the Repeater) even if you won't need support ; - it is cheaper than both the EDP and the Repeater; Francois check Early Wanderings samples on http://1000.times.free.fr Carl McClatchey [cmcclatchey@amlaw.com] > I am looking at the Akai Headrush, the Line6 DM-4, the Boss DD-20 and the > Boss RC-20. > > I want to be able to play a guitar part, loop it, play another part over > that part and have the original loop fade out as I record another loop. > Essentially, record part A, loop it, play/record part B, loop it, play part > C and, after part A has faded out, loop part C.
