Looping Delay Pedal Advice Needed (fwd)



A friend on a local mailing list I'm on asked this, so I thought I'd 
forward the message here. Any responses I'll send back to him. Any 
suggestions?

Hello All,

I am a guitarist from Chapel Hill and my old delay pedal has recently 
died and I need to replace it. I am looking for some advice.

The old pedal was an ancient Digitech PDS-1002. It had the following 
two features that I need;

1. Rather than starting and stopping a loop, it had an infinite 
repeat switch that infinitely repeated whatever was currently being 
delayed. This was much better for creating loops in real time, 
especially in a group situation. I liked it for Bill Frisell-esque 
loop creation.

2. Once the loop was created, you could adjust the delay time knob 
and change the pitch and speed. This allowed you to play the pedal 
and create very trippy stuff.

I have another delay pedal (the Line 6 Delay Modeller, so if I could 
get these functions in a looping pedal, I still have an option for 
straight delay. I was hoping to buy something new rather than sinking 
money intop a 15 year old pedal on EBay.

Thanks,
Bruce
