Unless you are slaving one (or more) from the driving device, the loopers will drift out of sync, regardless of whether you preset them to the same tempo. Slaving means they synchronize internal clocks and that precision is far beyond eight beats to the bar.
This discussion came up in a thread elsewhere but there was no way to answer it. One possible application for me is if I kick off a drum loop on the Boss DR-880 and then try to create a loop on the Boss GT-100 guitar unit but there's no possible chance I can make the loop precisely the same length as that running on the drum box as any milliseconds in difference will multiply each time through the loop and it doesn't take too many before it's perceptible to the audience.
In short, it doesn't work. Don't waste your time with it.
To get that master/slave relationship, you need to do it with MIDI or something magical which hasn't been invented yet. Thus far, I have not found a way to get the DR-880 to start based on a MIDI signal from the GT-100. If there's no solid way to do it then the DR-880 won't need to learn German or Spanish as it ain't goin' fly anywhere.
