looking for simple live looper not based on tempo....



hi all,

i'm a new member. i got a question, sorry if you've gone
over this before, i've checked the archives but didn't find
an answer...

i'm looking for a simple looper to do live loops not based
on tempo. i'm trying to mimic the thing trey anastasio of
the band phish does in songs like "ghost" and "sand" and
"first tube"....

i've looked at the boomerang and the new boss looper, but
these require you to start the loop as well as stop. so now
i'm looking at old-school rackmount delays, which don't
require you to start the loop, only to hit the "hold"
button to make it start looping.

i've heard trey uses the ibanez dm-2000 for this stuff, but
it only has a 2-second delay i think.

anybody have experience with the following units? (i can
get these units locally)
- ibanez dmd-1000 (1-2 sec delay?)
- digitech rds-900 (1-2 sec delay?)
- ada delay (1 sec delay, profiled here:
http://www.guitargeek.com/gearview/254/
- rocktron powerplay fx/delay
- digitech rds-8000 (8 second delay!!)

right now i'm leaning towards the rds-8000. what should i
pay for this?? any thoughts on these or other units?? any
advice is VERY appreciated, email me privately or on the
list, thank you!!!!!!!!!

i'm looking for something to play riffs into live that will
repeat it hypnotically ad infinitum...... thanks!
