Step 5Finished (almost)!
And there you have it, a finished looper. All that's left is to house it in something. I put mine in a Fossil company watch tin. These are great for smaller projects like this; they're compact, easy to drill, and are funky-colored. Of course, spray paint is always an option.
To record, hook up some sort of input device to either jack, hold down the momentary puchbutton switch you either did or didn't wire into SW2, and speak/puch play/press a key/whatever you're doing to make sound. I wired the headphone jack on my laptop to it and play clips of recorded audio. When you're done recording (up to 20 seconds), let go of the button, and flip the toggle switch (after plugging a speaker up to the other jack). It will loop continuously. Some cool percussion loops can be made using this simple method.
The looper has some quirks associated with it, but i'll let yoou figure them out, it's more fun that way.

I haven't tried it yet, but this circuit looks like it would work with the new module. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaypee4227/2158771745/
Just found this circuit for looping the newer radio shack sound module.

First it did not loop but when I bypassed the playbutton and accidentaly conneczted it to mic + it suddently looped... Don´t now why. To start the playback I now have to connect the playbutton to ground.. Still experimenting.
Problems still to solve:
When the looper power is set to on the Looper imediately starts to play...
ther is a little sound gap (time seems to fit) between the loops
