You could have used the search, because there's many many topics about this.

But without converting pounds to American dollars, I'm gonna say check out the Boss RC-2. I've never used one, but it sounds like what you're looking for.

Third vote for the headrush.

Very, very soon, someone will also mention the Line 6 DL4 and the Boss RC2.

The headrush is very simple and intuitive to use (although the manual has a mistake in it which makes things much harder...) and requires less of a learning curve than the others AFAIK. However, it is limited in features compared to the others (but that means less of a learning curve!)

Hardwire DL-8, Boss DD-7, Boss RC-2, Boss RC-20xl, Boss DD-20, EHX SMMH, Akai Headrush, Line 6 DL4, etc. That's all I can think of off the top of my head for less than an arm and a leg.

I mentioned the RC2 in my post. Although I hear the Akai is very good (never really tried one), I don't know how much they go for in England. Which is why I suggested the RC2, because it's the cheapest loop pedal that I can think of.

My guitar player uses a DL4 religiously in our music. It's a lot of fun to play with! Really easy to use and has a ton of other capabilities. However, they have been known to get sick after a while, he is on his third right now (i think he bought he first one 6 or 7 years ago). I would recommend it for light use, but something sturdier would be better
