Trying to remember the name of an obsolete in-line auto recording device from the early 2000s

[sameloop]

This device was maybe about the size of a pack of gum, and the idea was you connected it to a spare output from your mixer, and it recorded everything in a loop/erase cycle (like a shop CCTV) of around 15-30 minutes, line-level, in 16bit/44k, so if you had a great idea/jam/riff or anything, you could always get that last 15-30 minutes back. I can’t remember who made it, or what it was called, hence the post. It was made by a major manufacturer, and it had a name that alluded to its function, like ‘rewind’ or ‘flashback’, that kind of thing, but not sure. It had internal flash storage, very little in the way of display (maybe just a peak LED(s)?) and I think all you could do was dump the internal WAV onto a PC via USB.

Can anyone remember what it was called/who made it? I just think it was a brilliant idea and would love to have one. Don’t know why it didn’t take off. I’m also pretty sure it was reviewed in SOS. Never had one or tried one though.

Tried posting this on Reddit but no one knew.

Cheers.

Doesn't ring any bells here...

...but it would be irrelevant now anyway because solid-state digital recorders are now very cheap and very good, and can take large memory cards which are even cheaper and can easily record tens of hours of stereo at 24/48k or whatever. It's trivially simple and inexpensive to record entire rehearsals over several sessions.
