i don't think GSY!BE use any looping tools, but ...

there is one indie rock recording which comes to mind as ABSOLUTELY 
POSITIVELY ESSENTIAL listening for loopers of the phrase persuasion, 
but it's not commercially available. it's a bootleg of Don Cabellero's 
last tour. what Ian Williams can do with 3 headrushes is just amazing. 
they recorded this album in the studio (American Don), which had like 
3-5 guitar tracks on every song. they're a three piece, so when it came 
to tour time Ian got himself a couple more Headrushes and figured out 
how to _duplicate_ his guitar tracks on the album for the tour.

i have a boot of their last tour and i swear to god you could put it 
next to the album and they'd probably line up! as far as how they sound 
it's quite a bit like 80s crimson with tube amps and the 70s Bruford 
playing drums. i find it very enjoyable.
