Thank you, Per!
I agree - the focus should be on the music. In the last few months I was 
often focused on technical gear and home-studio-cabling ;-). I read a 
lot about loopers and bought the Jamman Looper to get over the time 
until something like the boss RC50 in an enhanced version will hit the 
market.
After thinking so much about the right gear I find it funny that I 
didn't use the dedicated looper - I own the TC M300 for some years now - 
and never realized that I can use its delay for looping...

Finally it's all about the music ;-)
