Bear with me .....
I'm starting to work on modes and I would like to use a looper to lay down some chords. I'm only looking for something basic to use with my Katana 50 (non FX loop version). What would people suggest is a good starter? Ones currently on my radar are:
Boss RC1/3
TC Ditto
EH Nano 360
Will they work through the amp ok? As far as my knowledge allows, I think the only issue running it through the front end is that I can't have separate effects for the loop and the lead over the top. Is my thinking correct?
Thanks in advance.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you1.) The best, and most creative imho, is the EHX 45000. I own one...
2.) Ditto lovely and simple.
3.) The Trio Plus is amazing, and very inspirational. I currently own one.
4.) Boss RC-1 has the magnificent (and I mean that) circling loop
that shows you exactly where you are in the loop. But no storage.
5.) Which brings me to the Boss RC-3. Best all round imho of the smaller loopers, and it can store lots of loops; amazing how you soon build a little library up. I own oneof these too.
Some other thoughts...
EHX 360 - good storage, plays too quiet for me
Digitech - all seemed to colour and affect my tone
Ditto x 2 - love it - superb reverse loop option BUT ive had a couple of footswitch failures
I have the EHX 22500 - which I've just started using (I had the pigtronix infinity as well) but these are overkill if you just want basic looping IMHO.
Now I have a one button TC ditto mini. It’s on my pedal board and powered by the thing that powers my other pedals, so there’s no setting up to do. And it doesn’t colour the tone *at all*. And it has no bells and whistles, and yet does everything I need it to (mainly recording a chord progression to play over) and it does it in a very straightforward and intuitive way.
As a result, I actually use the thing, and enjoy it a lot. The older I get, the more I value simplicity, good design and quality.
By the way, I find I have no desire to store loops - it’s easy enough, and good practice too, to simply redo anything I want that I’ve overwritten.
Unless there's another way to store loops that I could play back at a gig etc?
