It's all in the name: Loop Station.
Almost.
Loop station, actually, this little boi-box records what you play and the return loop ...
But not only, oh surprise! There are even some pattern of batteries included!
It never replace your drummer, but you get to be stalling, and alone, it's still more enjoyable than a metronome!
Connections: in / out, hopefully, making Footswitch to control loops (avoids "double clicks" on the pedal itself) and even a mini jack to pump your favorite piece of your mp3 (no example) and you lead to play it.
For connectivity, and that's all that's not bad.
UTILIZATION
The grip was a bit tricky at first, although I do not consider myself stupid, but it's coming fast enough, today I master it well enough ...
Editing loops is quite easy (well a little practice is needed, but nothing nasty)
By choosing against the drum track, it's a hassle, you can change the patterns by pressing a button or via the pedal, there is a score of programs, but it's boring, frankly. .. That said, I use one or two, I spotted a place in memory, and I did that as, in short, is not that great as a system, but I do not think he could do better given the size of the machine, and then we always end up finding a solution.
The manual is clear and welcome, especially at first, keep the cool in the case of your guitar, but overall, the use of RC2 is pretty simple.
SOUND QUALITY
This pedal has done its job, the sound you record is not too filthy, but not the high end. That said, I'm glad for it.
The "drum machine" is limited to twenty programs, it's a Roland, so it goes, the more I read in the record that there is a kind of filter for the sounds Battery credible through a guitar amp. I agree that it's not bad, but nothing more.
Consider this "drum machine" like a metronome improved.
The advantage of this is that you can connect a guitar, bass, synth, anything that requires a jack ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use the RC2 for three months, I appreciate the simplicity of the "auto" mode (starts recording when you start to play), the tap tempo, intuitive to change the rhythm loops
I regret however that there ale only 11 memories, for once, it's a little lighter.
I have not tried other models, I made a purchase a bit compulsive, however, is the only looper at this price (to my knowledge)
The value for money is pretty decent, about € 140, it can feel much, but I think it contains quite expensive electronic components.
In short, it does, but I would do it, if you look ergonomic device, complete, and you want to do things rather complex loops, choose another model or another brand.
Be aware that in this price range, the investment is worth it.
