Axe-Fx Looper & Beatbuddy? (MIDI Sync)

Anyone using these two together? Is it possible to MIDI sync 'em? I use a Beatbuddy and an Infinity Looper and it works wonders; however, It would be great if the BB could sync with the Looper on the Axe. That way I could just take my Axe FX + BB to the gigs. Anyone?
