Title: Loop pedal Boss RC20-XL
Post by: .50 Caliber Bob on April 14, 2007, 03:41:29 PM

I've just been introduced to loop stations by looking at videos on you tube, and it looks like they can be alot of fun for messing around with, and playing alone layering stuff etc etc.

On gak.co.uk the boss rc20-xl is £150, is this the best one in this price range? Any one got any experience with this, or other loop pedals?

Any input appreciated,

Cheers

Bob

Hi,

the bassist in my band picked up the RC20XL the other week. He's lent it to me. My amps currently getting repaired by HeavierThanHell, but when I get it back I'll give the RC20XL a spin and get back to you.

I dig the RC2 cos its tiny, but it lacks a reverse loop function.

I have one that I use to fly in samples, walk on music, etc. Love it!

I used to own an RC20XL, they're really good for live work I found! especially for creating soundscapes and ambience underneath what you are playing. If I got another loop pedal I'd get the ehx one, just because it's more lofi.

I slighly regret selling the RC20, cos you can get really crazy with it with the reverse setting! It's a good pedal for what it does 8)

I had one..
 but traded ir for the digitech jamman.
the JML is cleaner sounding and has more loop time

Just ask Johnny Demarco, he knows where it's at. :P

I read this comment on harmony central, and was wondering if it was true or not:

"As soon as you create your first loop, you establish the loop length, and any overdubbing will occur WITHIN that loop length. IE you can't create a 2 bar beat, then overdub a 4 bar chord progression....you're stuck with 2 bars"

Is that true? Because it kinda sucks if it is

Also, if it is true, does anyone know if the digitech jamman has the same limitation?
