Digitech Jam Man loopers utilize the optional 3-button separate foot-pedal to make live playing easier, including 1-button stop, and it's internal memory storage is only limited by the capacity of the card. I have one card that has at least 2 hours of saved loops and backing tracks, and there's room for more. you can carry literally over 100 tracks in that one small pedal. I have created a small collection of cards for different gigs with singers or other duo partners.

I bought EHX 22500 recently, as an upgrade from Boss RC-1. It's a very smart box which can do a lot and I can't recommend it enough. It can be a bit hard to control since it has a lot of modes/settings and its behaviour can change considerably with each of the options, though.
It can stop the loop at the end of the recording and can provide you a separate end button if you set it up this way. (E.g. you set either the loop A or B (it's a dual channel looper) as a "one off" and you don't use the rhythm guide) Speaking of the end button, consult the page 12 of the manual: https://www.ehx.com/wp-content/uploa...500-manual.pdf
A new one is not under USD200 either - I bought used for 180 (give or take, depending on exchange rate).

I wound up with the EHX 720 and the price is definitely in my budget.
It's working out perfectly for simple looping for live gigs either solo or duo with a vocalist etc..
I don't really like working with pre-recorded loops, I still like to feel that everything is done on the spot.
Thanks everyone for your input.

The RC-500 is great for duo and solo gigs, but you have to find it used as it costs more than 200 new! But it has two loops and 3 buttons that you can program to do pretty much anything you want. I use the second loop as a percussive groove loop usually, or the two loops as verse chorus. Works great! If you gig with it it's totally worth the extra $$
Most of the one button loopers can take an external switch that can help with recording and then stopping. But i never found a live use for that, if you record the loop early on, the tempo you are playing might change a bit, so it would sound weird if you start the loop later. I usually record it during the other instruments solo, then play over it, solo or comping for a bit..

Anybody try the “new” Boss RC-10R? Looper plus drum machine with some jazz drum settings.

I have the RC 600. The drum stuff I
is more impressive then I assumed it would be. However, it is still a bit generic, and I end up writing my own midi patterns. Transferring them over to the RC 600 is easy enough.
I do still prefer pre-recoded loops, however that in part is about how much work it takes to get a midi track to sound good. That has to do with, fixing all my finger drumming mistakes, and then adjusting everything to feel human: amplitude, and timing.

Check out the Donner two button model - only about $100 on Amazon. Has lots of recording time and loop storage plus a built in drum machine that will sync with the loops. Pretty easy to operate, has a USB connection, and won't break the bank. It's called the 'Circle Looper'. Lots of YT vids.

A 'Rang will do everything you'll ever want, the buttons are nifty, and you won't have to replace it in six months because it crapped out.

I haven't noticed any expansion of the library from Boss but I haven't looked in a while. Lastly, it can take a minute to learn the foot controls but once you get it, it's no sweat.

Been using this LEKATO single button for a couple of months and I really like it. $40. Great sound quality (24 bit A/D's and apparently decent circuits), works fine, no issues. And it's small with relatively low power requirements.
