A very versatile and compact looper pedal

by Kevin Tippets from Riverton, WY

Music Background: Pro Musician, Instructor, Live and Recording Sound Engineer
I bought the RC-2 after digging the audio looping function on the Korg Mini Kaoss Pad (1 bar of looping and no memory). I am using the RC-2 with a stereo keyboard set-up, but find that the mono recor... read more [+]ding sounds really good. 16 minutes of recording time is more than enough for me and with 11 memory locations I can use the unit for 4 or 5 songs as backing tracks for live performance. I did add the FS-6 pedal which adds greater functionality for changing loops while using the RC-2 live. (The FS-6 is also just a great general purpose pedal for use with any keyboard that accepts a foot switch pedal).

I also use the RC-2 for sound checks. I am often the band leader and the live sound engineer. I record a quick loop of a verse and a chorus and then have the band play along while I check the levels in the house and adjust the monitor mix.

As a keyboard and music instructor I use the RC-2 with my students as: an audio recorder to listen back to a performance, to practice timing and arranging ideas, and to slow down a riff for learning and playing along with.

I did give the RC-2 a 4.5 because Boss requires you buy their own adapter for $30... close [-]

very cool...... miss the reverse-loop function though..... only thing keeping me from buying it...... maybe they'll fix that with the next version.

The perfect pedal for the beginner or the seasoned veteran. Built in drum patterns, 11 layers of recording! Hook this up to the rest of your pedals and create an entire song with one pedal.
