[RWP] Please Guitarists, Recommendation for Looper Pedal

[Indigo]

Hey, you could be onto something, if a portable flash recorder would 
start/stop recording from a footswitch.
Do any have a footswitch jack?
I'd think an old-fashioned quarter-inch telephone jack would be too huge 
for many of them, but maybe they'd use a 3.5mm or other small adapter.
Then you'd have to set up the recorder to automatically disarm previous 
tracksand change the armed status to the next new track, plus have 
previously recorded tracks loop continuously.
Thanks,
Indi
