Thanks for responding-
The Bommerang is a fantastic on the fly unit. In my opinion, it is great 
for 
creative performance/improv. I have had some problems with noise when 
recording, and to me this is no small negative.
The boomerang doesn't save anything after power down, and can only save 
two 
loops at a time when in use. I love using the boomerang for what I 
mentioned, but when I get a real great loop after much improv, even if I 
can 
retrace the process, I seldom come close to regaining what I had. This can 
be a problem when playing with others. The rang also has zero undo, so one 
slip up and you're fried.
I think the echoplex can at the very least sync up with a computer to 
relieve itself of onboard loops. With its midi function, it would be easy 
to 
sync it up and dump some loops back in before a performance.
After having used th rang quite a bit, I can say it is really great, but 
to 
me it isn't in the same class as the echoplex or repeater(I think). I'll 
keep it in my rig always, but it is almost more like a pedal to me.I want 
something I can really edit, and use with my computer. By the way, I'm a 
guitarist.
What's wrong with the Boss?
