Looper + something else pedal

I am aware of the TC Electronic Flashback; that is not what I'm here to ask about. I would like to know if there is a pedal that
1: is a looper that
2: has one other effect on-board that
3: isn't delay.
I am aware of multi-FX pedals, but I don't mean those.

A lot of delays that have loopers built in can actually be used as a chorus as well. Depends on the pedal. But for example I had the flashback x4 for a little while and one of the presets I used was actually a chorus sound not a delay. Here’s a video showing how to do it
You can do the same on most delays that have modulation as long as they allow you to reduce the number of “echos” to zero.

One of the funnest ways I’ve used loopers is actually as foot controlled samplers. It basically required that the looper pedal has memory and presets and also what they refer to in the looper world as “one shot mode” the digitech jamman stereo, boss rc-30, and boss rc-300 can all be used for that. Basically one shot mode just stops the loop automatically when it ends instead of it repeating/looping over and over. This is fun if you want to add sound effects live, ambient pads for worship or metal lol, or have filler between songs. Here’s a clip of a worship guitarist using a jamman for ambient pads
 
You should check Boss RC-3 Loop Station Bundle
The 1W option doesn't reduce the volume lower than expected.
Comes with a tone switch for reverb.
Has an extra audio-in jack for an additional speaker/amp.
O maybe Digitech TRIOPLUS Band Creator

Fully agree but if he wants a model that has one other effect on-board I suppose Boss RC-1 Loop Station Bundle (RC-3) it's the best option for that. Anyway check reviews to know more about loopers Link Removed
