Dear Lee-ohki,

Yes, the Zoom 2100 is my main looping device.  It's extremely easy to use
in the 6-second mode (after getting used to the awkward way that one
accesses the looping mode, and then storing that as a patch.)  You can do
infinite loops or slow fadeouts up to 6 seconds, and stack on an infinite
number of overdubs.The built-in foot pedals make the looping functions 
easy.

 The 16-second looping sampler (one looped part, no overdubbing like in the
6-second mode) is also a nice feature.  I don't have the expression pedal,
and don't personally see the need for it.  Guitarists might get some use
out of it, however.

In sum, it's an incredible value, and is extremely clean.  
Hope this helps.

Michael.
