The VTech Helio (http://www.myhelio.com/) which costs about 50 quid can run Linux (http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT6258429117.html)
If you manage to turn it into an FX machine, I'd be very interested.

oberheim echoplex is the best, they say. boomerang is also pretty rad, but also expensive. I love the 2-second digitech delay myself.

Jon, do you really know enough to prototype something based on Embedded Linux? This could be reallyfun to play with.

the line6 dl4 has a loop sampler, but this pedal is super touchy; I don't know anyone who's had one that hasn't had a mechanical problem with it within a year (mine was completely screwed up but then suddenly mysteriously stopped fucking up and now works fine).
the thing to hunt down is an electrix repeater, which is a rack based effect and is amazing, but the company got bought out by some karaoke machine company and it's been discontinued so now goes on ebay for over twice what it cost new last year.
