Actually I have a notion that this isn't what you think.
Sample-and-hold=looper? right?

Well as far as I can make out this actually refers to a method used in 
analogue 
synths to generate a series of random voltages to control either pitch 
(random note generator) or ,as in the case of the SS ,the frequency of a 
filter (sort of bubbly effect).

Perhaps I've got this wrong, but I reckon the SS would make loopable 
sounds, 
or 
process a loop, but is not capable of looping on its own.((but then I've 
never tried one))

Thanks to all for  the info on this ped so far.
At the moment i'm veering towards giving it a miss for the following 
reasons
1) not tweakable
2) too 'digital sounding' 
3) I'm looking for something to vary the sound without echoing, and that 
leaves
   out a lot of the SS presets it seems.
4) It doesn't have a whammy patch (some people want everything).
.......still considering though.
