I've thought of a solution: we kidnap all the Gtr-X guitarists and brainwash them, remove their thoughts, give them a guitar and turn them away from the light. Their existence will be only to follow strict commands from the parent unit [that would be me]. Several buttons - that I press - instruct the minions to immediately transcribe and play back the input but IN TIME. There would have to be some sort of governmental enforcement so maybe you could do that. I guess it would involve physical threats? Y'see? It can be done. It needs a name. I'd suggest something subtle like, Big Brother or Mussolooper? No worries, Ryan.

The guy that taught me on my national diploma at Oxford has the Boss looper and rates it... other than that and the fact that I don't recommend the DL4, that's all I can offer I'm afraid!

So yeah, you're probably right about it being difficult to sync-up to anything other than itself. But, I dunno if I'd want it to be in time in that way. So.... Do you know of any ways to sync up to a groove? A friend rated this: http://www.loopers-delight.com/tools/echoplex/echoplex.html or the Looperlative LP1. Not sure if either of these would do what you're talking about though. Thanks for commenting! Hey Ryan,

I only generally use it as a delay pedal, but I have used the looping on occasion (namely to practise over short chord sequences I record, and in one of my bands to provide the tremolo picked note in the final chorus of Joan Jett's 'I Love Rock n'Roll'). I'd record the note before we started playing the song, and then engage it at the final chorus under the chords I'd be playing live. It's main drawback is the issue of timing, as no matter how good your timing may be it'll undoubtedly go out of sync within a few cycles (especially if playing with a drummer!). So in conclusion, good delay pedal... not so great looper... unless you're looking for some sort of Steve Reich phase shifting The Line6 DL4 is quite good, but I wouldn’t really recommend it for a serious live looping tool.
