practice tools...recorder, looper?
I'm looking into adding some gear to make my practice experience a little more rewarding and fun. I'd like something that's versatile (integrated features to lay down multiple tracks, phrase trainer, drum machine, etc.). Not sure if I should be investing in a stand-alone mulittrack recorder with these capabilities (e.g. Boss BR-600) or in a looper pedal with recording capabilities (e.g. Digitech Jamman). What sort of gear are y'all using for practice/recording? I saw Robert's great demo of the Jamman on his site. Anyone have other experience with these products?
Thanks.
