LOOPERS: Digitech vs Boss

[vic108]

Anyone here have experience with either one of these units? Pros and con?

I've been smitten with loops ever since i messed with a friend's echo-plex in 1968.
Then a few years later with Robert Fripp's Frippertronics...

I have the Digitech JamMan Stereo and am very happy with it.

Pros:
Lots of memory locations/time (even without adding an optional memory card).
USB connection for moving loops back and forth from computer - this allows you to either use it as a simple recorder or copy backing tracks to it. Also allows you to organize your loops.
XLR mic input.
Headphone jack.
Reverse feature for freakiness (if that's your thing).

Cons:
Loops are numbered rather than named.
Like all of these things seem to be, some features are either hard to get at or might be confusing. Make sure the features you want are front and center if you intend on performing with it.
Like all of these things seem to be, getting a perfectly timed loop takes either practice or luck. Can't say if this one is better or worse than others.

I know the Digitech manuals are available on their site so you can take a look.

I have the boss one.  It is red. It  works great, but i dont have any of the specs.  The hardest part of this is actually hiitting the darn pedal in perfect time.  Masters of this like Keller Williams, make it seem so easy.
