I play with a guy who also cherrishes the sound of a good old fashioned 
amp.(rightly so!) With our set-up, we tried to accomadate him, but because 
of space issues, he ended up drownding everyone else out, and he couldnt 
get 
the looper/amp combo to sound right.
We found a peice of gear called the "ampulator". It doesnt sound "just 
like 
an amp" But its damn close for the purpose of using a looper with a 
guitar, 
in a live room. Nice rich tones, and less mess(noise,hiss)than using an 
amp. 
Might be worth a shot!
Pete.
