Here is an in-depth review of 2 of the best loopers out there, especially for ambient guitar: the TC Electronic Ditto x4 and the Boomerang III Phrase Sampler.

In this video, I am demonstrating some functions, but mostly I am stating the pros and cons of each pedal to help you make the right decision with your purchase.

Here's a summary:

Boomerang Pros:
3&4 possible loops
Independent controls of each channel
Fade time knob
Easier accessibility to play styles

Boomerang Cons:
Design & switches
Audible clicks
Effects are not applied instantly

Ditto x4 Pros:
Accessibility (better: switches, knobs, angle of the pedal)
More variety of effects
Basic functions under you feet (1 click, 2 clicks, hold, etc).
Effects are applied instantly
Better price

Ditto x4 cons:
Only 2 loops
Play styles harder to reach
Clumsy controls (easy to mess up)
No fade time control
No independent control on effects

My personnal favorite is the Boomerang, because the fade time control, easy accessibility to play styles and independent control on channels is very important for my style of playing. It's a clear winner for me, but the Dittox4 has a lot more advantages!

Tell me in the comment section which one you would pick and why!
