I'm listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs now, their guitarist uses two
Digitech Jammans on tour. And KT Tunstall is also very experienced with
using a looper, I think she uses an Akai Headrush E2.

Concerning the Dub Fx video, it is really a nice piece of dubbing.
Overdubbing. In a studio ;) Where are the streetsounds? Was it recorded
directly maybe? It sounds a bit too flawless to me for a street
performance.  All in all it's a nice showcase of what can be done with
some effects and a looper. Personally I prefer what Agata does
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichirou_Agata), but that's also because
I'm a guitarist myself. I'm not going to bother you with Melt Banana
vids though :D

Best,
