I own a Headrush, and I keep it in my rig because I like the sound of 
the delays.  But my honest opinion is that if you really want a looper, 
you are MUCH better off getting either the Boss or Digitech loop pedals.

The Headrush will only do 22 seconds of loop for a single layer loop, 
and 11 seconds for a multi-layer loop. Either way, it's not a whole 
lotta loopin'.  The Boss does a whole lot more in terms of loop time, 
and the degradation when loops are layered is a lot less.

But like I said, I like the sound of the headrush's delays, and so it 
stays in my rig.
