Hardware reliability? I've owned 2 Repeaters, a mo-fx
and a warpfactory and never had a single hardware
failure. I've heard people complain about software
glitches in the Repeater, but it seemed to me that all
the Electrix stuff was pretty damn solid.

That is true indeed. Would be best to have it all on
the floor if possible.

Here's my thoughts on that: People who think they
don't need feedback control on their looper don't know
what they're missing. My guess is if they spent some
quality time with a looper that has it they'd never go
back. I could be wrong. The ability to do both
totally rocks my world. I've set up Mobius to give me
1 track where I put 1-4 loops. Mostly I toggle
between them with feedback on 100% or build them with
feedback <100% but set it to 100% when I get it the
way I want it. Then I build a second stereo track
with feedback permanently set <100%. I'll open and
close that one from time to time keeping that plate
"spinning" while I toggle between my first track
loops.
Sorry to dis your RC-50. Frankly I love a lot of
Roland and Boss products. I hear people yell at them
for having too much compression on their ROM waveforms
in their ROMplers, but I still find my ears love the
sound of my XV-5050. The Boss VF-1 has become one of
my favorite processors and the Boss DD-20 Giga delay
is one of my all time favorite loopers... so I *know*
they can do a looper like I like it... they just
didn't this time.
