I agree.  I think that it would behave more like a long delay with high
feedback.  My impression is that it would work nice to loop smaller 
phrases in
conjunction with a dedicated looper like an EDP or a Repeater.  
Personally, I
use an EDP and I love syncing the Adrenalinn to it.  The ability to loop a 
small
phrase on the Adrenalinn as a seperate looper would be a nice little extra 
but
not really a selling point if I didn't want the other features of the
Adrenalinn.
