    Loop

    UTILIZATION

    Basic operation although intuitive, one point for Boss
    although additional functions require more complicated manipulations

    SOUND QUALITY

    I kept two months before selling it because the sound quality
    is pretty bad ..
    Loss of slamming, bass, treble bloated, breath ...
    Perhaps with a bad guitar amp bad we not see the difference.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I sold a home Ditto TC Electronic,
    that even though I find it less intuitive, reproduce sound without loss.
    It all depends on the use we want to make
    and the priorities that we give ourselves.

    A blow to start playback / recording two shots to stop playback, press and hold for two seconds to delete the last layer /! \ And only this last layer /! \

    Registration is a fusion of samples made it is impossible to separate them separately, I mean, just stop one of music recorded on the same samples. So beware, the main limitation of this pedal is here.

    Otherwise, automatic, convenient, starts recording the first note received as input, and automatically loop on the duration of the sound. On long takes, the tempo is rarely well calculated, and makes it impossible to use percussion proposed by default.

    It is still possible to change the tempo after recording, sound distortion is not too unpleasant if you do not push this feature to the extreme. This feature does not solve the aforementioned problem, because it does not change the calculated tempo, alters and adjusts the recorded track function.

    SOUND QUALITY

    There are not included effect.

    I mainly use this pedal with a guitar, bass, trumpet (with microphone).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I for 3 years, and I do not always tired; I tried the above models, and did not feel the need to invest more to break me.

    Value for money is perfect for me. I remake this choice without hesitation.

    Only problem, I thought at one time that the export of recorded music would be easy (like export USB / SD card), but I fantasized. So, to switch on a computer, it's sound card and plugged it OUT.

    Pedal sampler / looper.
    A single channel (mono), but simple format pedal opportunity to connect a second (MIDI sustain pedal style).
    Several modes of loop, calibrated on a tempo or not.
    You can play pre-recorded by storing previously in memory loops.
    Jack 6.35 mm, same output.
    Runs on 9V battery or optional power supply sector (highly recommended).
    Preference is the level control of the loop so that it matches the level of the instrument.

    We can do many things with this pedal, but given its size, this requires knowing the right key combinations, not necessarily intuitive.
    The French manual is correct, that English is more detailed.
    Very easy to add loop loop (like a multitrack) or delete the last, but for the rest, editing is more complex.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The "automatic" setting works thunder! A bit like the "quantize" a sequencer, even if we play bad, it loop good :)
    Tested with bass and acoustic guitar, it works (live in).
    Tested by sending the AUX from the console, it works good too.
    In terms of sound quality ... this is the fault of this pedal, quality 16bit 22kHz sample is insufficient for use in concert. Sounds like a bad mp3 compression: '(

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used it for 1 year at home, unfortunately never in concert.
    I have not tried any other models before.
    I think for a pedal to 179 €, the sound is really too bad (big difference in a sound between the sound of the instrument and pedal), and leaves to put a little more, as investing in a pedal will sound usable.

    I used to start keeping treasured each loop, and finding that 11 memories, it is very little .. especially as I stacked up to 4 loops on each other! But now I use it very often in re creating each time the loop, I play it mainly to develop my game "solo", the RC-2 acting 2 rhythm guitar. I do not save anything, and sees it as a plus, for each repeat at home.
    Least 2 pressure to stop
    Plus: little room to pedalboard (end effects loop)

    SOUND QUALITY

    Really top quality, but only on my tube amp (H & K 25th anniv) otherwise disappointment. I "feel" the 2nd guitar as a buddy next to me, and the battery is a real plus. Little background noise, but I'm not in the studio.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 years non-stop, and could do without, it is compact and so convenient! However, it is quite "sport" live ... All alone without problems, but in a group, I do not see much use. For young people, the top to develop improvisations on scales penta. I think she has an essential place in each pedalboard.

    No PC connectors, you can not import loops in the box.

    UTILIZATION

    I had never used before and my looper guitar level is not transcend.

    I mostly bought it for my work rhythm, and this time it's pretty good.

    For the rest I use little all functions. I is not easy at all to use the drum machine and the tempo setting is very complicated for a beginner. It lacks a setting with a display of tempo.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I use a fender amp XD superfield with a fender classic player 60.

    OVERALL OPINION

    For the purpose that I, I would do the same choice. That is enough to turn a chord chart and make your own backtracks.

    The loop boss has the same format as the boss pedals. You can record 12 different tracks which can then be recalled at will. Many voices can be stacked on each track but once the recorded track, you can not separate them. Should not be able to edit the tracks (no output). A battery with an independent volume is available but the pedal has no effect. There are another with a small digital screen it may be effects (to be confirmed).
    For connectivity there is an input and output jack, a jack "temporary stop" which should cut the battery and input "in the" mini jack and then plug the power supply.

    Convenience is not great. We should have the settings at hand and control the foot pedal (separate). otherwise you will always be considered tampering with and there .... ouch my back.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I use a Les Paul Studio guipson and amp Vox AC30C2.

    I doubt its use group unless it has battery than the loop (which is very basic I must say). are numerous, but the rhythmic and linear sound is not very alive. Or if you have the drummer is the tempo of the pedal in the ears or finally, but this is impossible, it is as accurate as a metronome ....

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 5 years but I do seldom used.

    It is well to work alone.

    Looper for sampler bocles some 15 minutes, divided into 11 banks.

    Several battery accompaniments are available, more or less usable.

    Ability to create loops in 3 or 4 times.

    The technology is digital.

    UTILIZATION

    The manual is clear enough, if we take a little time to read.

    The setup is fairly simple

    SOUND QUALITY

    The overall sound quality is adequate at best.
    I use it for "bosser" plans to swing or samples of intreo. It does the job

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a few years now, as the price is right.
    There are better, but it is more expensive.
    IN secondhand, it is a good plan. Like all Boss pedals, rather indestructible.

    This pedal is rudimentary and simple, so it's perfect for composing. But for those who do live alone (along with their Loop) should direct their choice to something more complex, "Swiss Army knife" as the RC-20XL or VDL1 Vox Dynamic Looper, or if you have RC-30 budget

    Although it seems simple on the manual can be found on the website of BOSS, in reality it is not. In fact, the pedal is the classic format of BOSS pedals (a push button) use standing is sometimes laborious and requires a good grip (or foot pedal). Ditto for stalling the pace. Once this is done it works very well, but simplification and mignaturisation perfect housing has made it more complex grip so that you will in any case at the beginning a lot of time sitting.
    I therefore recommend to the stage for the reason or if it gets confused between 1 or 2 seconds to keep support, dual pressures etc. or if you are confused in the line it will be hard to catch up in a hurry. C is a good pedal IF it was tame but it will be long.

    SOUND QUALITY

    This pedal has a good sound quality. Nothing to say on this side of, well regulated c is not ideal especially grains, obviously does not solve the flight too strong for support does not pass the leed.
    I could use it with a PRS McCarty with splitables microphones and acoustic electric. Both are very well placed in the mix
    Only a slight defect background noise due to the onboard electronics. (Noise Gate useful)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I kept more than a year. It was my first looper before I change for the flashback x3 TC électronic.
    The beat box is very interesting to work on his pace and explore new things I almost keep to it.
    Just for that I will ever be the choice because even if I did not keep c is a good experience with loopers without ruining it and especially for those who work in them that will:
    1) having a battery with you to repeat
    2) to work on his game / pace / mistakes
    3) develop their creativity with Embedded rhythms.

    Good music :)

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use
    Referring to the manual was quickly made the rounds of the pedal

    Needed to work the music. You learn a lot by listening. This is the best way forward.

    The price used is quite reasonable, and when you look at everything that can be
    achieve with the new price is not an exaggeration.

    I bought this at a clearance sale for Alans Music in Adelaide, Australia for only $600 - thats about 33% off. It is pricey after this discount but I would be skeptical over paying more for it.

    There is not a lot to offer other than the great 5.30 minutes of instantaneous repeat time. This is crazy. Its easy to use and will broaden any song ideas if you know how to use it properly. It has a microphone and guitar input.
    Soon I will be using it with another amplifier so that I can send a loop to one amp while playing lead through the second. This can be done on the one amp but the signals tend to clash and you get a mess.

    Soon I will be using it with another amplifier so that I can send a loop to one amp while playing lead through the second. This can be done on the one amp but the signals tend to clash and you get a mess.
    You can even plug ear-phones into this thing. A bonus feature is the 'reverse' button. It also has a tap timer and you can speed the tempo of your recorded tracks (11 slots available) without it getting warped.
    Its digital so there is no mucking around with tape. The greatest potential for this thing lies in the ability to plug a CD player into it - or your own samples made on the computer. Ive made sound effects that I can trigger easily. You have to pay a bit of money for a synth to hold this potential.
    Finally, you can layer track after track on this machine and if you follow a sensible, disciplined approach you can create lavish soundscapes that digital delays alone can not dream of. - Use this with a digital delay.

    Its potential is limited. BOSS could have made this far more interesting with an extra send/recieve loop for more options. The tap tempo should work on a dial instead of holding down a button. Im not sure if you can play over a running CD too. Rather the CD passage must be recorded onto one of the tracks.

    Needless to say, Boss has a fine reputation for its quality of construction. There seems to be no exception here on the surface. But I certainly wouldnt try dropping this thing knowing its nature. It has a 1.5 gigabyte chip in it. Dont drop it. In fact, I'll be making its own little case to cushion the bumps.

    It is so great because 5.30 minutes of repreat time is more than anyone could ask for. It is expensive for its limited functions and yet it seems to be the cheapest unit on the market for what it does. It serves well as a note pad to get down those ideas but go buy a proper digital recorder if this is all you intend to use it for. Personally, for me and my soundscapes, this is essential. You have to know how you are going to use it before you buy it because - that guy gave it such a good review.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Good a priori asked just to make loops and be transparent. For loops is good for transparency will require ironing. The difference between the direct and loop means enough and it bothers me. It's not awful but it is understood that this is the sound of the guitar.
    The drum sounds are not that great so it's just for work at home.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for several years. This is a great tool but the basic sound quality is poor. I use it rarely in groups to live here and this is not an option. on the other hand there is something fun at home and to lead that's fine.
    It was a bit expensive but all the loopers are in these prices. The value for money is average. One day I wish I could replace it with a JamMan solo that seems best in sound.

    Ben is the "Looper" in real time ... But there are also recording functions ... which I do not still useful.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?
    Last night.
    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    The "+"
    The looper is perfect. If you aves a bit sense of rhythm, there is no problem to make a loop that runs perfectly ... and in addition it's great gnial to progress and learn to be square in square.

    Operation is super easy and intuitive ... Well I have not yet explored but frankly it's not rocket science. You leave the box of her pretty red bote, and you plug HOP you "jam" of hell itself, as a great.

    The overdub. After a few chords or notes and looped, it can be "directly" record something else on top ... and then, if the DSIR, add new notes on top. WARNING: Not enough for a symphony orchestra, but it's really nice ... Up 2-3 overdubs, I have not encountered any major problem ...

    The "-"

    The "stop" that must be actuated with either a double pressure on the pedals, or with a single press of the optional FS-5U pedals. The both of them are not practical. Since the first case a double pressure application be really careful and concentrated to arrter the loop at the right time. And with the FS-5U, even if I did not try it is not much better as it is necessary to change pedals, which also calls for a "gesture" supplmentaire. But it is not feasible.

    OF CORRECTIONS April 7: I withdraw what I said on the optional FS-5U pedals. Certainly a deuxime PDAL is less convenient one ... But it is essential to have if you want to properly operate the RC-2. So, the RC-179 2 + 29 FS-5U = 208! May be it is better to directly select the RC-20XL, as the "heart" of the bte seems to be the same (16 minutes, 11 loops, etc ...) You decide.

    To return the FS-5U, is much more empty with this little pedals. Since we can stop exactly o you want ...

    The "Stop" brutal. This makes sense when you ask the machine to stop it s'arrte. BUT! It s'arrte net => impossible to finish a piece in style without "tampering". I have found two solutions, not empty set up musically.
    1. I stop "pil-coat" the end of the loop (May the Force be with you) That application be highly developed ... good exercise, but could certainly live, I think. 2. I connected the RC-2 A volume pedals in order to "die" the loop slowly continuing to play. BUT! RHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, logically, as the "Loop" is placed last in the loop because when I lower the volume, well I have more sound at all as for the reproduction of the loop for the instrument is connected.

    It lacks a management diffrent and "live" out of the loop and instrument "direct". Good for the price, it might be impossible. But that's a shame ... Since there is only one output level. It can con stepfather, but if we do a loop is to play "over" and if the loop is at the same level as what is added, well it's fast soup. .. Well I dbrouilles trs well with a volume pedals and my "Magicstomp," but we must juggle several pedals.

    - How do you report qualitprix?

    PERFECT! NICKEL! But to take full advantage of this type of "loop" must be added a few pedals supplmentaires. "PDAL volume" and "Footswitch" well before a possibly pdalier Loop diffrencier the history of sound and thus have a good balance between rhythmic (reproduced with the looper) and solo , for example. In addition, if we add such a Boss LS-2 (which sends the sound to output A and output B) this would be the really nickel. But then the RC-2 Loop Loopstation made. Point line. And it's a great ...

    - With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

    YES! I hte to test it live solo in a few weeks, do the purchase.

    Apart from the "Stop" impractical and brutal, this is an excellent tool To create, to "jam" only to learn and above all be square ... Also the sound quality really allows use in direct agrmenter enabling and enriching the simple "guitar + voice" with all sorts of "layers" supplmentaires ...

    Well, I guess "small default" do not exist on the RC-50 2-3 times more expensive ... Therefore should not be too "greedy". Honntement if your into place and you become a "king" of the "double click" with your foot, it's absolutely perfect ... Not bad, finally pedals that requires you square be?! ADDITION OF April 7 is always more enjoyable than mtronome ... and above all it allows you to really "risk" stuff ... and / or play the RC-2 you.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound quality is good rev, while the hardware used with dpend, for my part I use it with a multi-effects pedals V-amp Behringer home and an Ibanez S470.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use the pedals since its release, I made the electric guitar (Ibanez S470) for two years now and learn exercises complte fawn, it is perfect. It will Serat of great usefulness if you play alone, for cons I think it is difficult to place in a group, less use it as a sampler.

    Basically with the pedals you can be a band all by yourself ...
    I bought it at Woodbrass price of 165 euros with a 9V adapter.
