Digitech PDS-???? pedals for looping

[Darcy Clark <darcyc@engin.umich.edu>]

While I am tempted to shell out the big-$$ on an echoplex or jamman, and
given the relative scarcity of both, and also given my neophyte status, I
am wondering whether a Digitech PDS pedal or something similar might
suffice for the moment. I understand these pedals to have the capability of
sampling and holding and they can have up to 8 seconds delay - that would
be plenty for me at the moment. Do these pedals have any other capabilities
that are useful ? Which is the most ideal for the purposes of looping ?

thanks for any help,
