good summary mark, i second the lexicon jamman, mainly because i am selling mine, and i believe there are a few others selling theirs :) for a first looper, i'd suggest an RC-20 or maybe rc-20XL, those are nice, and for a lot of people who are kinda interested in looping but not really, i suggest to them the boss DD20 or line 6 DL-4 mainly because if they don't like it, they still have a decent delay pedal (the lexicon jamman has a delay function too!) otherwise, it seems like laptop looping might be the way to go for a lot :) Charlie On 8/7/06, mark sottilaro <zerocrossing2001@yahoo.com> wrote: > One thing I've found over the years is that you'll > learn more about people when you read non professional > reviews than you learn about the gear... in many > cases.
