Yes Its hard to invest in a VL3ext if you already have a VL2 and another looper. Thankfully I had not invested in either. If you do the math the VL3ext gives you a lot of bang for the buck. Digitech, Zoom, and others don't pack as much into their products and you have to buy 2 expensive boxes. A 3 channel A B C looper and a vocal tool for doubling and harmony, then for playing tracks you need to carry a computer or mp3 player and a 4 channel mixer. The trouble with 2 or 3 units is the routing. Looper into the vocal effect, back into the looper, to the mixer dry looping, to the mixer vocal effect on/off, da da da da da da. Its confusing, even with an A-B-Y box or two.

If you haven't used a TC vocal effect unit you don't know what you are missing as a single musician. I'm addicted to mine. I've compared others and TC is top notch.
