Yes, it is a true racing machine! 9/10
I detail a bit:
Looper with three separate tracks each with double pedal (Play / Rec) and (Stop). Mechanical air "beefy". But I'll tell you more to use.
99 Memories each storing the 3 tracks that are editable (via USB port), and configurable independently.
BAR very interesting, a lot of presets.
A multi effects I've flown so far (transpose, modulation, voice, guitar, and others) that runs (on / off) with Loop Pedal / FX and manages one expression pedal. Itself is fully customizable.
All pedal start / stop
1 Input Jack Instrument
Vocal Mic 1 input XLR phantom power 48V
1 admission to
Each of these inputs has an independent volume knob, and each track can independently adjust the recording level and playback! I will stop here because the list of possibilities is incredibly long, it will refer to the manufacturer doc.

UTILIZATION

Ultra intuitive for basic operation. One branch and off you go.
If, of course, we want to master each function, and there are hundreds of them, it must take a lot of time.
The manual is very well done, RAS. Understand the logic of setting parameters.
But write using one knob and two left and right arrows to select one character from another 200 is not the most convenient way to communicate with a machine in our time. This is probably the thing that will improve thereafter.
I can already imagine a software dedicated to change each parameter of the RC300 from a PC via the USB port. For now the usb connection allows editing of 99 memories and copy paste files wav. That's not bad
Regarding the use of pedals I find this perfect looper.
8/10

SOUND QUALITY

I use the looper with:
Input: a classical guitar or folk preamp and microphone sm 58 safe electrodynamics. I have not yet used with a studio mic (I have a pro Berhinger B2) to see the quality of phantom power.
Output: Roland AC60 amp or BA 330.
I am satisfied with the quality sound (clean)
but I'm not a fan of effects in general so my opinion on their quality in the RC300 is not relevant. I consider gadgets.

Each track "resists" to overdub successive.
Of the BAR RC300 seems to me correct to use that I did. Not a real drummer, but 1000 times better than a metronome!
8/10

OVERALL OPINION

I use the RC 300 a month. I am a fan. I broke it in the first minute, and my interest continues unabated after 1 month of use fierce.
Having bought the beast OCCAZ for 350 euros, I find extraordinary value for money. I understand that setting could offend some tracks Musicos (see + above), it would be in my eyes the only downside to this day.
So I highly recommend.
