Since you have a PC and not a Mac, maybe you should check out Kyma/Capybara
by Symbolic Sound. The beauty of Kyma/Capybara is that it runs on a
separate box loaded with DSPs instead of directly on your computer so it
doesn't rob processing time from your computer. The computer mainly
serves
as a controller for the box. Symbolic Sound just started offering a
PCMIA card so that you can run Kyma on a laptop. I don't know if it has
looping/overdubbing functions like the Echoplex but maybe it's worth a
look.
The URL is http://www.symbolicsound.com/
BTW, Kyma runs on both Macs and PCs. Capybara is the DSP box.
