Sample/Loop pedals S/D

people i've seen use the headrush to very excellent results:

stormandstress (two headrush)
don caballero (three headrush)
laddio bolocko (one headrush)

this is what you're talkin' about.
a fine machine. Lee Ranaldo uses it a lot. I have one but it's broken. know any fixers?

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

forget loops
what bout a well built hardware version of GRM's freeze
tool or any other granular plug in.

a footswitch (grain grab)
and a wah wheel ( grain size move )

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

Oh, I do!

i picked up the boss rc 20 last night. i like it so far. its basically a sample/loop hybrid. very easy to use & no unwanted signal noise.i think $300.00 is a bit much, but everyone seems to think it is a good price for the amount of sampling time. none of the other pedals on this thread have the ability to save after power off, this is why i took the boss home. part of me just wants to sell off some things to get a full, "proper" digital multi tracker. but so far the rc-20 seems to do the trick.
thanks for the advice peeps.

the boss is good

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.
