Loop pedal help
I would like to find a loop pedal for use in practive and possibly eventuallyu live performance. I have never owned one before and would like something that isn't too difficult to use. I have seen the BOSS loop stations but I have heard they can be a little complicated. I don't mind paying a little extra for something with more quality- as long as it is worth it. Any suggestions on loop pedals to check out?

I'm also in the same boat. Heard (and seen) a lot of good things from BOSS RC-2s and the like.
What do the experts recommend?
Doesn't have to be ultra-portable like the RC-2 for me, but one thing I'd like, if it exists, is the ability to not only loop my own riffs, but also perhaps load up MP3s from the computer, so I can throw a backing track onto it and not have to worry about carrying around a laptop.

Ok, I've looked at the BOSS RC-2 and it's way too small and cluttered for me. 1 pedal is not enough for when you want to go back a track, etc.
So for me, it's down to the BOSS RC-20 and Digitech JAMMAN.
The jamman seems to be a clear winner, but 2 user reviews on Amazon claim it adds or removes beats at will. I'll obviously test it before I buy, and can always return it, but that's not good :(
Also on the table is the BOSS RE-20 Space Echo. Not a loop pedal, but the very pretty lady at the store tells me I can do amazing spacy things with it. I'll try all three out, and while the Echo looks like it's a lot of fun to create improvs with, it doesn't really seem to do the job I need, which is have a portable band (via backing tracks, overdub, etc) with me, and the Jamman, with 2 gigs of expandable memory seems to have that.
Anyone try either of these?
