Only one I know of is the RC 300 but I've never used one so I'm not really helping. Those things are expensive!
For a 2 loop I recommend the Ditto X4. I've never had issues with Ditto products for hiss or clarity.

If I were to buy a looper, it'd be the new Ditto with the digital readout. I had one on pre-order for like 6 months and finally gave up. Not sure if they're out yet.

I have a boss rc1. Love the visual loop length indicator. I lose my place on long loops otherwise.
I've bought a few loopers over the years, but the only one I've ever used onstage has been the BOSS Audio RC-3. The two things that make these ideal for someone like myself was that the loop sound reproduction is seamless, so don't worry about poor fidelity. Also, the built-in drum tracks function like a metronome so they can be changed or turned off in your saved loops.

Ultimately the looper has to suit your needs as some people want to play to a click, some want backing tracks, others want layer flexibility.
I’ve owned dozens of loopers and the two that have stuck with me up to today are the Boomerang III and the Aeros Loop Studio, but I use both the same way.
I record a short freestyle loop to “set the tempo” instead of a click or preset tempo. Once that loop is closed, either looper allows multiple tracks and overdubs to be created in increments of that first loop. Sometimes it ends up being a scratch and a thump on my guitar as a “click-TACK” and then the next track might be 8-12 times that rhythm.
By the end of the song, everything is erased. It works for me because of the flexibility.
