The SOS ("looper") mode is of no use imho, however, the other delay modes 
do
have what at least I understand as first loop capability, and it works like
this:

Save the delay algorithm of your choice with a delay setting of 23s. Hit
"On/Off" and "Tap" at the same time to start recording the loop. Hit "Tap"
to close the loop and go into overdub, or hit "tap" and "on/off" at the 
same
time to close the loop without overdubbing. That way, you can then even do
unrounded multiply using tap.
