Wouldn't that be nice...a dream the size of a stomp
box...maybe in the next decade of technological miniaturization we'll get
this sort of functionality in the same size...would be cool to program a
stomp-box sized looper via the computer, and then take it along with nothing but
a MIDI controller. I'm waiting for MAX/MSP for Palm Computers. But I
digress...
It does not have reverse, pitch shifting, or
simultaneous loop, but for $179 I bought it primarily for really basic looping
gigs, like if I have to play a traditional jazz solo gig at a party or event and
all I feel like bringing is my combo amp. Although, it would be cool to have two
of these things side by side for some asynchronous looping.
I just did some more experimentation, and what you
can do to delete a loop from memory without having to hear the first few seconds
of it, is to press the button twice while the loop is playing (which stops the
loop), but continue holding down the button on the second press. That will
delete the loop permanently. But there is still no way to silently delete the
loop, with your foot, while the loop is stopped. Another way would be to turn
the phrase selection knob to another memory space.

Now...Just Recieved Mine
thanks for the review, Krispen. Does it have: sound-on-sound,
reverse, any pitch-shifting, or simultaneous loops?

I just got my Boss RC-2 looper, as they are
shipping them now...not a bad little device for a backup or basic busking
gigs. It is similar to the Boss RC-2, but more functionality built
into the single button to match what can be done with the two buttons of the
RC-20. A few pros: it has undo! It's small and a perfect match
for the Roland Microcube. It has most of the features of the RC-20,
including auto record, loop saving, one shot playback, etc. You can hook
other Boss foot switches to it to control the
functions.
