Looping options

[pjmuck]

I have been entertaining the idea of getting a looper for a while, and I'd like some opinions from those who happen to own or are familiar with what's out there. Since I would also like to keep the real estate below my feet as neat and simple as possible, my preference would be a rackmount looper that I could control with my Voodoo Labs Ground Control midi foot controller via cc messages, but I'm surprised to find that there aren't many midi loopers out there. Thoughts?

I believe that Steve Lawson is an endorser.

ive only had experience with the boss loopstation which is a stompbox. it may be a bit simple for you but if you end up going down the stompbox path give that a look ive never had a problem with it at all

Thanks. I am leaning towards the bigger Boss RC-50, as it has midi in/out, multiple inputs for guitar, mics, and USB for backing up loops. Although it's has a large footprint, it can be tucked away in a rack via a rack tray. The only issue that worries me is that some reviewers have said that it will not syncv to a midi source well, as it will only work as the midi master. If Roland ever gets around to doing a system update to correct this, I'll consider buying one.
