Wow, that's some procrastination. Didn't the JamMan hit in the early 90s? The good news is that there's more choice than ever for a looper. I've found that in a line level situation both the EDP and Repeater have excellent tone, though if you have the wrong gain stage it's easy to hear Repeater noise. I've never experienced it. Both are fine, but very different machines. I never really dug the EDP, yet it's many people's favorite. However, the Looperlative is about to ship and I'm sure in the next week or so this week will be flooded with observations. It brags really high quality sound and a feature set that's pretty unique. (8 stereo loops at one time, syncronized or not! and MIDI sync) so you may want to keep procrastinating for a little while longer and Give some more thought to what you want to do with your looper. I've heard that even the RC-20 and 50 sound great, they're just more limited and without MIDI sync. --- Richard Sales <richard@glasswing.com> wrote: > I've never done looping but have done a large ton of > music for a very > long time.
