Thanks Ted.  I actually use the Boss DD-20, but 
currently only for "delay line" looping.  It'd 
completely slipped my mind that it has one 
algorithm with "first loop" capability too.  (I 
never end up using that one, however, because 
it's pretty hard for me to hit the loop points, 
IIRC).  Although I think you give up the feedback 
control with that algo, don't you?  Hrm, gotta 
check the manual....

The DD-20 may make it onto the pedalboard 
regardless, since I've gotta find something 
battery-powered to use in place of my favorite 
Magicstomp chorus/delays for lush space effects. 
Either that one or perhaps the new RE-20 Space 
Echo re-release.

Also, I've got quite a bit of "back door" 
manipulation type stuff that I've done with the 
DD-20 (it really is a cool little box).  But I'm 
trying to keep this board simple.  With the 
little Boss unit I'm going to be mighty tempted 
to make things too complex and let it get out of 
hand again, like I have with almost every other 
setup I've put together.  :P

Still, it just seems like there should be more 
simple Loopers like this out there....

Thanks again for all the help!
