But I'm not aware of a sampler that allows for real-time overdubbing to
looped audio while it's playing...is there any such thing (besides Echoplex
and JamMan?)

I'm only interested in what I can generate live in real-time...not
interested in sequencing anything ahead of the performance.

Thanks for the advice, and I haven't ruled out the JamMan.  It's just that
the prices of JamMen seem to be getting bid into the stratosphere (the last
three for sale at Rogue Music's auction have all gone for over $500).  At
that price I figure I'll spend a couple more bills and get the added
functionality and memory of the Echoplex.  Not to mention the nice 
pedalboard.

BTW, NAMM is coming up...any rumors of new loopers on the horizon?  Dare we
ask?
