Re: Best battery powered looping pedal? Maybe 2 iPads instead? Echoloop for iPhone?

[Christopher Darrow <thedarrow@gmail.com>]

Better yet, as I think about this, what I'd really like is Echoloop on my 
iPhone because that's all the screen real-estate I'd need (especially with 
iPhone 5) and just a basic audio in and out and if possible some sort of 
beet sync to an iPad (via blue tooth even?) 

Not sure if audio into iphone works but iThink I remember those iRig sort 
of solutions working for it... if not yet it will soon I'm sure. 

Anyway, that would get me a dedicated looper and a dedicated sound 
source/mixer without buying a whole 2nd iPad. 

Well crap, wait, there's midi into the phone as well---for the footswitch. 
This it didn't seem like was working with iPhone but I don't know why it 
shouldn't and imagine it should soon if it doesn't.

That would be PERFECT!!!!!! 

Just thinking out loud... because that's how things happen sometimes.
