ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC / Looper - 2880 or Boomerang?

« on: September 13, 2010, 07:35:04 am »

Hi everyone..

My first post here. Hopefully you can help. 
I'm looking at buying a new loop pedal. At this stage it looks like a choice between a Boomerang or an EHX 2880. I'm  leaning towards the 2880 as it seems to have a more intuitive interface and lots of recording time.  Just wondering if anyone has played both of these or if anyone would recommend one over the other? (Looks like I'd need the additional foot pedal that comes with the 2880 to make it more useable?)

At present I use a Line 6 DL4 delay/looper which I really like...only problem is the longest loop time is 28 seconds. However its really intuitive and easy to use and I really like that I can fade loops in/out with an expression pedal. it looks like the Boomerang allows fade ins/outs also and from what I gather the 2880 allows manual fades using the sliders. (which is good, but if you have two hands on a guitar, probably not that easy.) The mixdown capability of the 2880 is also pretty cool..
