Very good review of the Zoom 2100. . .very thorough, except for one detail
that might be important.  There *is* an infinite hold (looping) setting
that can go as long as 6 seconds.  Very, very easy to use.  You can "layer"
sounds onto the infinite loop, much like the Boomerang, by using one of the
onboard pedals.

Good value for someone who doesn't need a long amount of looping time.  As
the Rocktologists said, the sound quality is phenomenal.

Hope this helps.
Michael.
