is there a pedal out there that will let me record a loop, but that's cheap?I'm not looking for any other added functionality, I just want to be able to record one loop and play it back. I know boss and line 6 make loop pedals, but they have way more features than I need.
I know the boss dd6 has a loop feature too, but it's pretty short.
DOD made a looping pedal in the 80's but I don't know where you'd find one.
this one?

Well, that's one of the models, but they also made a dual pedal model. I'll be damned, I thought they'd all disappeared!
has the new JamMan, but it ain't cheap. Boss has the Loop Station, but again, it isn't cheap. Either is the Boomerang, the Repeater, or the Digital Echoplex.
Thing is, you don't want 'cheap' in a looper. Older loopers were basically delays that had little control over the loops, and weren't player-friendly/ergonomic, which is *very* important in a looper. So is sample rate/sound quality. You want the loops to be indistinguishable from live playing. I use 2 loopers (not at the same time). One is a Digital Echoplex for larger gigs, and for solo shows, I use a Line6 DL4. Not cheap- but under $200 used. It is a great 28 second looper that lets you record in foward or reverse, and can do half-speed too. No feedback for the loops, but with an expression pedal, I can get around that.
Any delay pedal can be used as a looper, but you give up loop time, and control over the loop. You can still create cool loops with them though, but the time is too short for rhythmic loops.
For cheap, you could look at the akai headrush pedal, or a s/h Line 6 DL4. Neither do the 'quantise to a click' thing that the digitech or the boss unit do, so they are of limited use for live playing, but they do a good general job of looping.
it also depends on what you need from a looper (if you don't know, the looper's delight site will help). I have been a 'looper' for over 15 years, always using it live, and never had the 'quantize to a click' feature and never needed it. Rhythmic looping live with a drummer is hard, unless the drummer has some wonderful monitors, and he/she is a great drummer who can play to a click. As a solo guitarist, you wouldn't need it, or in a band context, you can stick to non-rhythmic loops and be just fine. Not all loops need to be a chord progression that you play over.
I'm just looking for something for practicing, not for shows. I just want to be able to record and play back rhythym parts through my amp.
I don't need any other effects or features...but it doesn't look like a bare bones pedal like that exists.
BOSS Loop Station is great. I have one and I love it!!
the Loop Station is great for this, although it is more expensive than the DL4, and has some limitations as a live looper.
I hate the Loop Station. It turns your tone to ****, and you can't run a metal backing track and lead through the same amp without it farting out!

LOL, I categorically disagree with you.
