any suggestions? im kindof on a budget, so under 100 dollars would be nice.
ive looked at some delay pedals like the dd400, and also looping devices like the Cycloops or the Boss rc-2. any other suggestions?

under $100 is pretty unlikely, unless you only want 2 seconds of delay... rc-2 & dd-5 are both pretty good,  maybe grab a dd-20 if you want more delay options (and easy to set bpm for the loop function)... think they run around $150 used...

The Korg KP3 is my personal fav. Unfortunately they're difficult to find for under $200.

The new miniKP2 has looping capabilities and built in FX, which goes for $150 new, so you may find one used for cheaper. The GameBoy-ish size is nice too.

If you already have a laptop, there are multiple free looping programs available. For someone on a budget this might be the cheapest option.

Here's a good list: http://www.krispenhartung.com/software-looping.htm

I can't recommend any in particular, as looping isn't really my thing these days, though in the past I used Max/MSP or Pure Data to do it sometimes, but they are not a ready-made solution for looping (they're certainly capable of it though). Just I thought it's worth pointing out that basically any computer has the hardware you need to do looping built in (i.e. ADC + RAM + DAC), and there are lots of software solutions out there for it. Latency, which before ASIO was a big reason to go for hardware solutions instead of software, isn't even an issue when you're looping.

Hm, this one looks nice.
I've got parts in the mail for something with similary simple interface only with midi clock sync option and no overdub.
Based around arduino pro mini and ISD recorder ic so you get the idea of sound quality...
