RE: which multi effects box ?



***I have roughly $1k to spend on a device that should do: JamMan style
looping, multi-tap midi clock synch, in reverb one of the flavors should be
infinite, and assorted stomp box style overdrive effects as well as all the
other effects one gets in a multi-unit***


I'm pretty new to live looping, but I have hit the ground running with this
DigiTech GNX3
http://www.digitech.com/products/gnx3.htm
It has "JamMan TM Delay Looper" built in.  You can layer up to 8 tracks, or
overdub an infinite number.
I haven't really been through all the cab emulators and effects yet because
I am mostly just looping vocal and guitar parts with an acoustic. (the
microphone input makes this pretty damn convenient).  I'll give away the
biggest disadvantages right away though, as far as I can tell there's no
midi clock synch.  Also, you can't turn down the feedback rate for recorded
loops (so that they fade away)so I've been putting a volume pedal after my
processor so I can just fade down all my tracks if I want.

I really doubt there's a multi-effects pedal that has this many
looping/recording features.  but, ya... its definetly hard to get it all in
one package.  For a grand, however, you should be able to get everything 
you
need.
