I consider all my effects 'playable' as anything with a knob is fair game. 
I've gotten some weird results by turning the patch selection knob on my 
Adrenalinn run through a looper.  Just the process of playing with my 
effects turns up interesting results, unfortunately, I'm usually so 'into' 
what I'm doing, that I forget what I did and it's gone into the ether. 
Hopefully, it's been recorded so I can play with THAT later. :)

I haven't mastered any of my effects/loopers, so doing something 
deliberate 
is, uh, well... intermittent at best. Maybe to my detriment, but it's 
always 
an interesting ride while I'm experimenting.

So, I guess I'm on the side that doesn't look at loopers having 
limitations 
or lack of features, I just use them for what they do have.  It's just 
another tool with given parameters.  I guess in the same way I like having 
several different guitars and synths and not a Variax or an all-in-one 
synth.  ya know?
