Thanks for the review. I played a Vox modelling combo amp awhile back and 
was
very impressed. 

What features does the looper have?

I'm confused. Are you saying it sounds better plugged into your mixer 
using the
"Amp" setting? Or the "Line" setting with the settings tweeked?

My DG Stomp came with all the patches set up with the speaker simulation 
turned
off (as though you were pluggin into an amp). Sounded hideous going direct 
to a
mixer. That improved a lot just by pressing the button to turn on the 
cabinet
simulation.

It's still not as realistic as I'd totally like though.

Excellent! Sounds promising!
