Kris,
Thanks for the reply. Here's how I determined the
thinning of the sound:
Epi Les Paul direct to Boomerang, Boomerang direct
to Marshall amp (same results are the same with my Fender Princeton amp,
too).
I play, and notice the usual thick, rich
tone.
I tap "record", and "record" again to end the
recording. The loop immediately starts to play back, and I notice that the
tone is very noticeably thinner (seems more trebly and less bass).
To the average ear the difference would be slight,
but I'm sure any of you guys would notice it immediately. I just happened to notice the same thing during my lesson the
other day when my instructor used his RC-50. Slight difference but
noticeable.
I remember about a year ago trying Mobius through
my computer, and noticed no difference in sound quality at all, but the playback
was through my Altec Lansing computer speakers.
One other thing that I notice about my 'Rang is
that right out of the box, the center switch setting produces an incredible
amount of hiss. I kind of ignored that and just figured it was a 'Rang
idiosyncrasy. The other two settings are nice and quiet, though. Perhaps I need
to send it back to Mike N. for a checkup.
Brian
