There's two versions, the older silver Headrush E1 (out of production), and a blue Headrush E2 (currently in production, I think). I have an E1 - it does up to about 11 seconds of loop that you can then record another layer on top of, or 21 seconds of loop that you can't record another layer onto. (In both cases of course, you can play live over the playing loop.) The Headrush also tends to be cheaper than the RC-20 (XL or not). best, Steve B http://www.subscapeannex.com/about_steve.html
