I'd like to get a looper pedal that I can use during live performances. What are you using and/or what would you recommend?

I've been reading manuals of the different Boss looper pedals but I don't think any of them would be the right for me although RC-50 does come close.

What I want is the ability to record few loops that I can mute/unmute individually. If I could have different simultaneous loops to be of different length it would be cool too. I don't have any need for presets or ability to save loops in memory long term.

Any suggestions?

Red Sound Soundbite - there's a few models:

I had one of the Micro's until recently, and quite liked it. I only got rid of it because I needed the money, and changes to my live setup made it redundant.

No MIDI? Can't be used as a pedal?
They look kinda nifty, but not as useful as a pedal...

I definitely need a pedal because I intend to use it with electric cello so my hands are both busy. For my intended use MIDI isn't important.

The Electro Harmonix 2880

This thing is pricey but it's ridiculously awesome.

I'm currently using a Line6 DL4 as my looper but I hope to upgrade to the 2880 eventually.

Editt: I didn't know the 2880 was discontinued!

You can still get them from dealers, though. Bummer!

You might also check out the Line6 JM4

I haven't used this but the Looper in the DL4 is pretty good, as long as you don't need MIDI sync.

MIDI = ability to use FCB1010 etc...

Thomann still seems to have EH 2880... I'd still need a control pedal for it, though. I'll read the manual and see if it would do what I need. Thanks for the suggestions!

Btw, does anyone have experience from Digitech JamMan pedals?
