then?
Hey community-
Have we ever discussed the difference
between a looper and a long delay? Methinks a looper can store a few audio
loops, can start, stop, restsart and/or continue on command, and can
"undo" one or more levels of looping. A long delay won't do these things, but
will have a feedback function so loops can fade away as new material is added.
Any more differentiating features?
I ask this because I'm reading this
thread, thinking, Boss DD-20! Boss DD-20! Makes a great looper! (except
it doesn't do those "looper" things mentioned above)

Hi there,
Iīm also new to this community, been playing
guitar for 15 years now and have been invited by some DJs to perform live
with them. Obviously I need a looper, and I was just about to go and get a
RC-50 , but that was before I read reviews on harmony-central,
musiciansfriend.com, loopers delight, etc.....I was excited about going
stereo, having 3 phrase tracks, such long recording time......bla, bla,
bla...........but as I would have it mainly for live performances, just put
it aside for this moment.
RC-20XL is mono, seems to degrade sound quality
as more phrases are added onto previous recorded ones, has the 2 seconds
pressed pedal waiting time to change recording/dubbing functions......sounds
not pro enough.
Also read a lot about some little issues on
Digitech JamMan, Boomerang, Electro Harmonix 2880, etc.......even the Gibson
Echoplex Digital ProPlus got bad reviews.
Sincerely....I got lost in the middle of
everything, so it got cloudy for me to define what should I buy at this
moment, what will give me condition for a reliable and creative live
performance, and also be a smart option regarding the cost X benefit X
technology X quality issue.
Counting on your expertise
people....thanks a lot.
Peace.
