the DL4 is really simple to use....and even with its limitations very flexible in a live looping situation (as evidenced by the numbers showing up in pedalboards). As everyone has pointed out, you can get out of loop mode w/o going to overdub by just pressing the PLAY button...simple. The one shot playback offers a lot of fun options too. as does the double time and reverse buttons (way fun!) Even tho there is no midi sync....it is very versatile, with sound quality far superior to JamMan. For complex looping phrases I often record a DL4 loop into my JamMan and then switch off The Dl4 and start over...then re-dump into JamBoy. If you are careful about timing and loop lengths, the errant sync problem does not rear its ugly head. The DL4 is very affordable, easy to use and sounds great. I highly recommend it to anyone into exploring looping possiblities. But I also recommend getting the optional expression pedal....try using it to control not only pre-delay in loops, but the loop volume for dynamic loop control! And the other classic delay models are great!
