Correct
This is a two-track stereo looper with a recording capacity of 3:00. The recording quality is more than correct on a 16-bit format with a sampling frequency of 41.1 kHz. The samples thus obtained can be sent to a PC or Mac with a USB cable. The RC-30 also offers 10 models of quality batteries whose tempo is adjustable. I only regret that it is not possible to add models of external batteries via a USB cable without sacrificing one of the two recording tracks. Also note that the recording time of the first loop determines that of the second. I mean after the recorded loop of 10 seconds on a track you can not directly record your solo on track 2 ... Regrettable but the USB connection and simple copy / paste on the pc turns this pedal into a true multitrack recording quality.
UTILIZATION
The manual (in French) is quite clear and to the point. It is to read in case of major problem because the pedal itself provided the basic information necessary for its operation.
Its use is relatively simple: you select a tempo among the 10 proposed, we seek a riff, you press the left pedal is pressed to record and again to end recording. It is primarily an educational tool because it keeps "square" on a given tempo but also to perfect his improvisation. It allows you to build riffs but also to feed them gradually as it is possible to re-register on the same track with the "overdubbing." So it is a development tool very useful and fun for everyone. It offers five different types of effects but which are not recorded on the pedal ... Note that this is not his goal.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality is decent. Personally I use with my bass Warwick Corvette and I find it rather well reproduces the sound. I want to equip myself with a headphone made to improve its closed and avoid the echo effect with my amp but the sound to me like this already, little or suppressed in any case.
It also has a microphone input with phantom power for non-dynamic and I would record my bass in stereo with an E602-II, but lack of budget I have not had the opportunity to test this configuration making sound. I defer to my mind one day when testing is done but I feel that this pedal has in the stomach and for those like me who want to record at home without investing in a home studio is a good start. And with it no latency problem! Not to mention that it is that a looper!
It should also add that the length of two identical tracks is also an advantage when going on a software computer music since both tracks are well two wave files in a similar period. Copied and pasted a few simple you create a piece based on samples. You add a battery or whatever you want), you send all of the RC-30 that acts as a simple plug and play drive on the track and a solo recording a track that fits perfectly with the two remaining the song given the length of the two tracks will always stay the same. Still fewer adjustments during a visit in software and that is rather pleasant. Note that the current standard high-end multi-track recorders is 192kHz/24bit but do not be discouraged for so little, the sound is quite enough to save his models without investing in equipment home studio excessive. And do not forget that this is a intuitive educational tool that will give you even more desire to compose solo and you will be amazed yourself!
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for almost a year now and I'm not about to part with it! Although this is a pedal, I must deal. I would advise any beginner to "carréifier" his game or even just indulge in improvisation. In my opinion this is a great educational tool and if I had known this tool earlier I would have bought before everything else! I've never tested as two live bass are not really necessary in a rock band but to add effects like atmosphere samples intro or any other besides it's a tool easy to handle and that will give you confidence. It responds perfectly and it's solid yet sometimes I go a bit much! I regret only that the beats of drums were finally incorporated as metronomes and it is possible to insert other models in a folder other than the two tracks.
In terms of value for money I think its pretty decent price given the multitude of functions that it may occupy. In summary it is a sampler playful quality that allows anyone to create and enrich riffs in the most intuitive and fun that is but it is also a tool that can help you with some knowledge of software record layouts "square" quality-based copy / paste. Tell me is cheating but if you must take a riff 4 notes throughout a song with a metronome in the ears I think that pedal is a true friend not to mention that I owe him a lot when improving You let my game go faster, you learn to use his whole race from riff that you created yourself. In short, we learn of ourselves! A self-taught by having the handle! (No unhealthy illusion of course): D
