Does your friend need a local friend? None of my friends seem to be buying me loopers. I barely get a card on my birthday! ;) > I can buy an old LExicon JamMan on ebay.

The RC-50 seems to be back ordered and the word on the street is their sync ability seems to be less than stellar. JamMan has no sync so if you're playing with a friend you'll probably want good sync. > I'm aiming to do something like Bill Walker does - > acoustic stuff... > inspired by Michael Hedges etc. What do you use, > Bill? I'll respond for Bill as he and I both are Repeater users (Hi Bill!) If you can find one used I say get that (about $500 same as an RC-50) IMO it's still tied for first place in the world of loopers. > Should I just bit the bullet and buy the looper and > control pedals etc? > Part of me says to go ahead and do that but the > frugal part of me says > test the water first. The thing about getting a good looper like the EDP, Looperlative or Repeater is that they hold their value. Before I returned my Looperlative I had several offers to buy it for what I paid. > Anyhow, back to the looper. I don't need any > effects etc or reverse > looping etc for my current needs.

Repeater does it but it's a tad more awkward (IMO) though with both you'll need a MIDI controller. Judging by the video it seems the RC-50 does a good job too. Also check out the Electro-harmonix 2880, that seems sweet and is also about $500. > And I'm very sorry to ask this.
