Thank you all so much!! I think I'm going with the RC 505, as some of you suggested (if I make enough money then I might get another one). You're right - the brain is the hardest thing to manipulate to get what you want!

I'm currently tearing out my hair trying to come up with something IDEAL - umm, I'll be bald soon! Most of these work with a sequential "undo" capability, so IF you can remember where and how you loaded a loop in, you can claw your way back to it (erasing everything on the way, sadly). The basic, almost philosophical decision I had to make was to look for the single ultra-everything box, or use a combination of smaller, dumber ones to creat initial loops then load them into a higher-order processor. You got your general, you got your field marshals, you got your sergeants, you got your privates.... I have something of an aversion to basic "Boss tone" - I've had an RC20-XL since their debut, and the only way I can get it to sound good is to feed it a fully-processed signal. To the best of my knowledge, Boss hasn't upgraded their root-level preamp in... forever. So I bought both a Pigtronix Infinity and a TC Electronic Ditto X2 with the idea that ONE would end up as the master brain, but they BOTH sound so good I haven't HAD to bust one back to private. I do believe I'm going to end up with Audacity computer recording as my FINAL final stage. Since the Infinity and the DItto will each hold two loops without "committing", and the Boss and an Akai Headrush can each hold one, that gives me six before I have to finalize ANY ONE LOOP... and I CAN reverse direction and store several final sub-master versions onto the Boss if I want to. Which immediately brings up Enemy #2 (Enemy #1 is, alas, my own BRAIN'S lack of storage - i.e. - "What a great lick - where'd THAT come from?"). Enemy #2 is NOISE. It just piles up, and up, and... Every layer of storage adds more. And, even with humbuckings, sitting right in front of a not-P.O.S. monitor doesn't help either. And you HAVE to be willing to dump stuff, or at least tease your brain into being able to repeat something cool. If you could play it once, you can play it again, although this is a frighteningly anti-"mojo", anti-"inspiration" point of view. C'mon MAGIC FINGERS... Do Your Thing! Well, NO. The few people I've "philosophized" with (there's that word again) over looping agree, yer BRAIN is the hardest thing to trick into performing adequately. > Subject: Re: Specific Requirements For Pedal > From: ajmechkov@yahoo.co.uk > Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 09:57:12 +0000 > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > > Exactly what I was about to say :-) > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On 26 Feb 2016, at 08:26, Antony Hequet <antony.hequet@yahoo.fr> wrote: > > > > I use the RC 500 and I like the power and simplicity.
