[RWP] Please Guitarists, Recommendation for Looper Pedal

[Scott Chesworth]

Nope, not a clue about the creme de la creme of loopers either. My
dodgy Digitech Jam Man thingy has always sufficed for quick and dirty

that we're not dying a death though. These lulls happen every so
often, presumably when people are otherwise engaged (maybe making
music), but the list always picks back up again.
