Not sure these comments will help you, but I'll make a few anyway.

I've never used the Boomerang, but I have used two units with much shorter sampling times. I used to use these with electric bass guitar.

The Line 6 Delay unit captures up to 11 seconds which is a lot for most applications. One of the Boss delay pedals will capture about 2 seconds (which is also a lot for enhancing leads or simply playing over some pattern). They all sound pretty good when you are playing along/over the sample.

I know the Boomerang is well regarded -- it has a very long sample capture time for a pedal type deal. I probably would have bought one of these back when I used to mess around with this stuff, but never could find a Boomerang I could get quickly. They also were a little expensive for an occassional use -- $300 - $500.
