    I'm on the verge of just saying "Fuck It" and seeing what it'd take to do my own looper pedal. It isn't that hard but they all just suuuuuuck. The boomerang was the best, but it was poorly constructed and mine broke in a move. Other have crap sound or work weirdly.

        The best looper I had was the RC-505: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJeNnw1Bz74 … Sound was perfect, the way you used it was great, lots of ports, midi was perfect....and it was for singers, so using your feet was nearly impossible. You couldn't even get a footswitch to work it.

        I tried everything, with midi foot pedals and all kinds of shit, nothing worked. The people at Roland seemed to purposefully make it unusable without touching those damn buttons. And really I'd only need three foot buttons: Record/Undo/Next Nope, nothing worked.

        If I remember right, the damn thing even was just missing midi operations to make it actually control the loops. That's how stupid they were. So even if you did get a perfect midi controller you couldn't really make the RC-505 work. I ended up selling it.

        TC Electronic makes a bunch and they all sound like an 8 track. The hiss coming off those things made me think they made it out of snake blood or something. They also has a bizarre idea of quantization and how to time a loop to a beat.

        The Boomerang III was great, but it took a while for them to add MIDI sync--which should be absolutely nonessential now with a looper--and like I said, it broke just getting shipped in a box. Also, dude had no idea how to make a power supply, like, I think it violated laws.

        I know people who use an ipad to do their looping, but if I'm going to do that them I'm just going to say fuck it and write my own software. The whole point is to not have to use a computer, but at this point I'll probably end up having to do it.

        The best fun looper out there is the TRIO+, but it's got it's own drum and bass tracks built-in so you just loop some rhythm and done. Otherwise it works perfectly and it's the one I use the most. I may try the RC-505 again, but I'll need to find some MIDI that works.
