Which Looper pedal is good for me?

nope, the looper on the dl-8 is great. its just enough loop/overdub some simple stuff. it doesnt have any wacky quantizing, it just relies on the user manipulating it correctly. the separate stereo paths still exist while looping, which is pretty neat.

DL-8 does 20 seconds, I believe. I haven't yet tried to record something that maxed it out, so I'd say 20 seconds is plenty. I have the Digidelay, too, and while it's good for looping short riffs, 4 seconds is usually too short for chord progressions. Now I use the Digi for its tape mode and the Hardwire pretty much just as a looper.

Depending on how much the new Ditto ends up costing, I'd say get a delay that also has a loop function since OP wants something very simple. No sense having a unitasker when there are good options out there with extras for similar money. So unless the Ditto is like $60, which is very unlikely, Hardwire DL-8, Boss-DD7 or something along those lines is the best bet. I got the DL-8 used at Sam Ash for $80 and I feel like I got a great deal.

Edit: Nvm, like three people beat me to confirming the DL-8 loop time before HC finished uploading my reply.

i have a dl-8 and it does the trick.

it's also a great delay pedal.

but if you want something for ONLY looping with lots of options,

start with the rc-2 and go up from there.

or wait for the tc thing to come out.

20 seconds is barely enough for a chord progression 40 seconds bare minimum i'd say. even longer is better
