This is my primary type of looping, so I'll chime in. One way to do it is to pick up a drum machine. Any type will do, but I found the new Korgs ot be really good. However, if you can find one of the discontinued E-MU Command Stations, they're really great. Second, you will *need* a MIDI syncable looper, or a looper that spits out a MIDI clock. See the tools of the trade page on LD for suggestions. Right now if I was going to buy something currently in production I wouldn't mess around with the Boss loopers, I'd go straight for the Looperlative. However... I gave all this up for a more flexible laptop based system. It's a more expensive way to go in the end, but I think it's worth it. Also, there is no drum machine that's as easy to program as a good software version. None. So... One laptop: get yourself something quick and add as much ram as it'll take. Audio Interface. My laptop had Firewire and that seems best. Sony and Toshiba's have it built in native as do Macbooks MIDI interface: If you're playing an instrument that requires two hands get yourself something for the floor like the Behringer FCB1010 and possibily suppliment it with a MIDI keyboard. I love the Novation Remote line. Sequencer: Ableton Live really rules for looping in all sorts of ways. Drum Machine: Stylus RMX and MicroTonic rock my world Looper: ALL BOW TO MOBIUS. It's FREE! Also check out Augustus Loop for the Mac and Angstroloop. Synth... too many to mention. Many are free and amazing. Good luck.
