I used to have one. I wasn't overly impressed with it - it felt pretty flimsy and didn't have many options for storing loops. I think I probably got rid of it too early and didn't really give it the chance.

Are you thinking of getting one? Maybe I should give one another go - I've been put off of loopers since my exprience with the Line 6 JM4 but would like to find one that I am happy with.
I think I hate being indecisive.

yeah, i am thinking of it. the thing that attracts me compared to other loopers is that you have 4 independent tracks and a little mixer.

last night there was an MC team using two, and they did some pretty good stuff with them.

You gotta love that thriller remix. Quite impressing!

I would love a looper, but I would need one that have good capacity for storage. It would be great with the possibility of some prerecorded riffs or chord work that can be switched on and off during a song. It seems like the Digitech jam man has plenty of storage, but I have no idea about the quality. Anyone who has tried it?

And by the way. Did that guy in the first link have a strat with a humbucker in the neck or am I just hallucinating?

+1 :)

if you want an all-in-one box for making tracks, you could do far worse than a korg es-1 sampling drum machine. its more techno than guitar oriented, but its very hands on, and available at a good price.
