I checked my EDP settings used for this guitar improvisation: http:// 
www.looproom.com/audio/edp_strat_01.mp3
It draws on the looping technique you describe but also a lot of  
HalfSpeed tapping as well a some Reverse. And I was jumping between a  
bunch of EDP programs with 8th/cycle settings varying from 8 to 128.

Rec Mode = SUS
Overcub = SUS
INsert Mode = Sub
Quantize = 8th
Sync = In (to keep the tempo when in HalfSpeed)

the Substitute Insert function I found working best was the normal  
MIDI note 5 (if no off-set used).
