The new Looperalative LP-2 Mini Looper has robust Midi synchronization.
With two of them hooked up; whichever looper starts automatically 
becomes the master for the other
and vice versa).

At a streetprice of $300 (USD), two of the units would probably much 
cheaper than buying 2 used echoplexes.

On top of that, the fidelity is better, with creation of up to 8 loops 
(stored immediately on an SD card),
addition of ≈ to the echoplexes 1/2 speed, 30 levels of undo, feedback 
(with automatic
undo points set at every 15% reduction), and these additional added 
features:

1) Half Speed (Double Speed at half bandwidth)
2) Quarter Speed (Quadruple Speed at quarter bandwidth - artifacty but 
very hip for special effects)
3) Retrigger (one shot)
4) Retrigger (continuous)
5) Retrigger (random)
6) Replace
7) Quantized Replace (equivalent to SUS = SUB in the echoplex or 
Q-Replace in the LP-1)
in these potential time signatures: 4/4 (8ths, 16ths, triplet 8ths, 
triplet 16ths), 7/8, 9/8, 10/8 (5/4)
and the addition of 1/64ths for glitch effects)

My brother Bill has been triggering other LP-2s, his LP-1 and 
simultaneously driving midi driven time
based effects (delays, modulations, panners, etc.) on his other effects 
pedals (M-9, etc.) with great effect.
