Outstanding

The RC-3 is an amazing pedal. It makes practicing easy, fun, and productive. I even use it to listen to my playing. The RC-3 is also wonderful for recording sometime to put on the computer. This loop station also does not cause any degredation in tone whatsoever. A perfect pedal.

This looper is a keeper

Added the RC-3 to my peddle board and glad I did. It has all the features that I need and downloading WAV backing tracks is a simple drag and drop or copy computer action via the USB RC-3 to computer connection. This has really helped my practice sessions and love jamming to the backtracks versus the mundane metronome. Very glad that I purchased this item and it will stay on my board.

The best in it's class.

Excellent unit. To get the most out of any looper, it has to be treated like an instrument into itself. Once you get the hang of quantizing etc. It's very easy to use. I love the fact that every bank has the ability to be a loop or one shot phrase. The auxiliary input works great. It still has the Auto -Start feature, which is a must -have. I highly recommend getting the FS6 switch to go with it. You have to hit thr rc3 twice to stop it, but only have to hit the fs6 once to stop. If you play live it's a must.
I do however wish it had an input level control/meter to get an accurate reading as to how hot the incoming signal is. I've had to re record a few because they were too quiet in comparison to the others. No way to really tell. But with practice and time it's gets easier to gauge that. The size is perfect. Fits easy on my pedalboard. Love the pedal. A major asset to any professional, modern, working guitarist.

RC-3

This did everything I thought it would.Easy to setup and use.A lot of drum beats to record to.Sweetwater is great to deal with

too much and not enough

I bought this to use as a tool for learning. Finding a person who will play the same 3-4 chords over and over for hrs while I learn to mix dorian/aeolian/pentatonic lead licks is not easy. I figured this would do it. I had been using my looper on my Boss ME 70 for months and just loved it, but it only goes 32 seconds - frustrating if I am trying to figure out lead licks on a whole song with multiple changes.
This looper has the capabilities to do what I wanted in theory, but I found it hard to navigate and as one reviewer put it - have to do a tap dance to control it. I also found headphones would not work in the output which is unacceptable to my situation. Another friend of mine saw my RC3 and quickly bought his own and he loves it. I ended up returning mine and bought the RC300 for alot more money, but it satisfied my needs and was easier to operate. Last comment - the 16 bit DAC is a a bit of a liability also. Even the RC 300 has that problem, but not my ME 70. I can really hear the difference in the headphones, less when I use an external amp.
