Yes, definately a looper.  Digitech makes one, the Jamman.  Digitech also includes a looper in their RP-1000 multi-effects pedal.  Boss makes several varieties of loopers.  Both companies have high ratings in their abilities to reproduce your sound. Which ever you intend to buy, be forewarned that these require a bit of practice before you take them out on the road.

Hey welcome Don.  I too was blown away by the skills that an accomplished guitarist can demonstrate on a looper.  KT Tunstall was made famous by Black Horse and a Cherry Tree, but later on I stumbled on this one and it just shows how there are a whole arsenal of tricks that can be employed to captivate the audience.  This one's Howie Day.....  I bought a Boss RC-2 myself for $155 on Ebay and it was a very good investment.  No regrets.

My Boss RC-2 has been my second best friend next to my guitar since I bought it.
It allows me to play alone and have a full band on hand. It has drum beats loaded on it and I can layer a rhythm track down and then play lead over it.

If more artist used them the way Howie Day does...they'd save a LOT of money on having backup and assistant players on tour with them...lol.
