Hi Krispen,
I'm a fan of your music and am grateful to you
for imparting with the rest of us much valuable knowlege from the
world of looping.
Tanx for notifying us about your acquisition
of the RC2.Although I've been very fond of
the idea of acquiring an Echoplex the cost and lack of local aftersales service
makes it a diffult choice. I was excited about the Digitech Jam man but was
dissapointed with the eventual layout and whatnot despite the massive memory
capacity. I wrote to Digitech and asked if they'd consider a Pro version and
their reply was kinda coy so maybe who knows ya. :) If the genius behind the
great Plex could somewhat revise his designs to incorporate the use of large
memories available at much lower costs these days I'm sure I'll be in the qeue
with many of you guys. :)
Currently I'm a happy RC50 user at the moment and
the machine has been somwhat of a long time looper dream come true for me. I do
find the lack of feedback and multiplier function a strange non inclusion and
suspec Boss was aiming for the mass "Karaoke" guitarists out there.
Hehe.
I am very interested to see if the much luggage
friendly looking RC2 can fit my needs for smaller solo gigs which I currently
use the DL4 and DD20 for. One question I have is based on the strange procedure
you experienced for deleting a loop. Is it possible to assign the external
foot switch to delete instead?
Lastly I would be most grateful if I could receive
a copy of the manual from you at your convenience. Thanks to you for your kind
attention.
Regards

Subject: Boss RC-2 Shipping Now...Just
Recieved Mine
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.
A con: Two delete a loop, you have to press and
hold the button while the looped is stopped or while it is playing (not in
overdub mode). The problem is that if it is stopped, you have to hear the loop
play for a few seconds before the press and hold deletes the loop. You
can apparently clear the loop out of memory with one of these external
switches, but you still have to press and hold the button..so I'm not sure if
it plays the loop for a few seconds or not. I have the manual if anyone has
any other questions.
