Re: First of possibly many stupid questions

Wow, that's some procrastination.  Didn't the JamMan
hit in the early 90s?  The good news is that there's
more choice than ever for a looper.

I've found that in a line level situation both the EDP
and Repeater have excellent tone, though if you have
the wrong gain stage it's easy to hear Repeater noise.
 I've never experienced it.  Both are fine, but very
different machines.  I never really dug the EDP, yet
it's many people's favorite.

However, the Looperlative is about to ship and I'm
sure in the next week or so this week will be flooded
with observations.  It brags really high quality sound
and a feature set that's pretty unique. (8 stereo
loops at one time, syncronized or not! and MIDI sync)

so you may want to keep procrastinating for a little
while longer and Give some more thought to what you
want to do with your looper.  I've heard that even the
RC-20 and 50 sound great, they're just more limited
and without MIDI sync.
