Another option (cheaper) available to you is the DIgitech Digidelay. as well as having lots of delay time, tape emulation and reverse it also has two ways of achieving HOLD. one is the aptly named HOLD setting which lets you sample about four second of sound and have it play infinatly over, you can also add to this by pressing the pedal again, I like this setting alot for drones and small drum patterns which I then multiply out on the DL-4. if its a prone you want you are best recording a blank bit first (juast hold the pedal down for a second then let go. then when you hold the peedal down again to overdub there is no "seam". the other option which I think is such a cool idea, is that the regular delays operate like DD-whatevers with repeats going from none to nearly infinate, but with the last o'clock turn being reserved for taking the new signal out of the delay path, this means that you can create delay drones till you get something you like , then hold it and play over rather then into it, then when you are ready , twist the knob again and play back into the delay.......wow!!
