I don't know the Rang 3 at all, Michael, but my cursory understanding is 
that they are just incredibly different beasts.
The LP2 has lots of slicing and dicing effects (and some very cool 1/2 
and 1/4 speed options that are very fun);
it has the ability to store up to 8 loops and load them from an SD card; 
it has 30 levels of undo and it has feedback control
with an extra expression pedal......it also has midi in/out for syncing 
to other midi devices
It also is a mono unit.

Doesn't the Rang have multiple and simultaneous loops?   Isn't it true 
stereo?   Does it have any midi?  Does it store loops?

My impression is that the LP2 is better for mangling and also 
synchronizing and the Rang might be better if a
singer songwriter wanted to have one looper.

The LP2 for me is a perfect augmentation if you already have another 
looper, especially if it has midi.

Any RANG 3 users out there yet?     Can you help us out with it's 
capabilities?
