I would not advice anyone to waste time in trying to loop with the  
built-in cassette tape rack simulation. It seems to be rather  
targeting guitar players that want to learn licks by repeating them  
against an original audio clip. But the effects are awesome! You can  
do a lot by cabling them up in different configurations. It's nice to  
use GR as a plug-in under a host and rout its output into a looping  
plug-in. In such a setup you can sync the guitar rig rack effects  
tempo after the looper's tempo. Since you're on OS X you can use  
SooperLooper or Augustus Loop as the looper, depending on how you  
want to loop (they are quite different).

One thing I do not like with GR is the basic sound. Maybe this is  
because none of my computers is powerful enough to run it in High  
Fidelity mode together with a software looper? I have tried the High  
Fi mode without looping and only in this mode GR starts to sound as  
in the same league as AmpliTube2 and Guitar Amp Pro (part of Logic).
