re:newbie needs help
I would have to second the motion on the gnx3. While I'm still fairly new to the box, it seems like the closest thing I'm aware of for your needs. I got mine for the ability to record with a minimum of equipment while away from home; memory was cheap (I got 128mb for $40 at Costco), the functionality is cool, and the editor for patches is good. One other thing to budget for is the extra pedal-DT has two models, one with traditional amp channel changing buttons (although they don't click, and now a new one that has pedal that match the GNX. These are dedicated for record, stop and play. But a lot of the functionality is on a keypad on the pedal. I'm toying with the idea of using midi to control the processing aspect of the unit, and put the pedal it self up where I can reach it for arranging loops/takes. Lots of functionality in this one.
Another, kind of loop oriented thing this can do is "re-amp". You can take a track you've recorded, play it back through another amp/effects setting, and record it to another track (or pair for stereo). Nice. It also has bounce and mixdown functionality as well, so one could make a very convoluted sound, reprocessing (traditional stuff, of course), and then use it for a bed for more traditional stuff, or not.
YMMV
