Hey community-
Have we ever discussed the difference
between a looper and a long delay? Methinks a looper can store a few audio
loops, can start, stop, restsart and/or continue on command, and can
"undo" one or more levels of looping. A long delay won't do these things, but
will have a feedback function so loops can fade away as new material is added.
Any more differentiating features?
I ask this because I'm reading this thread,
thinking, Boss DD-20! Boss DD-20! Makes a great looper! (except it doesn't
do those "looper" things mentioned above)

Subject: ...what to go for then?
Hi there,
I´m also new to this community, been playing
guitar for 15 years now and have been invited by some DJs to perform live with
them. Obviously I need a looper, and I was just about to go and get a RC-50 ,
but that was before I read reviews on harmony-central, musiciansfriend.com,
loopers delight, etc.....I was excited about going stereo, having 3 phrase
tracks, such long recording time......bla, bla, bla...........but as I would
have it mainly for live performances, just put it aside for this
moment.
RC-20XL is mono, seems to degrade sound quality
as more phrases are added onto previous recorded ones, has the 2 seconds
pressed pedal waiting time to change recording/dubbing functions......sounds
not pro enough.
Sincerely....I got lost in the middle of
everything, so it got cloudy for me to define what should I buy at this
moment, what will give me condition for a reliable and creative live
performance, and also be a smart option regarding the cost X benefit X
technology X quality issue.
Counting on your expertise
people....thanks a lot.
Peace.
