Looper's Delight

Hi Rafael, In answer to the 'ideal looper' question, mine would be an Electro Harmonix 2880 that allowed different loop lengths for each channel and had an fx send on each channel as well. Apart from that the 2880 comes really close as my ideal tabletop looper (especially coupled with a mini-KP and/or a deluxe memory man). Something about the interface on this machine really clicks for me as a performance instrument. Don't see much mention of it here...
