Members ShaneV2 Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've been wanting to get another looper for a while and Ron Bobby/ Ricky Burgundy's threads about the RC3 right before Christmas convinced me to grab one. Man this thing is so much fun! Best part is how easy and intuitive it is. I had a Jamman solo a while back and it was a pain in the ass to use and just generally not fun or inspiring. The Boss just does what you want with minimal button pressing. I was just cycling through the onboard rhythm sounds checking them all out and without even recording a backing track I was having a blast jamming along .Haven't had this much fun with a new pedal in a while.

Members Ron Burgandy Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Dude, hell yeah!! I am loving mine, and it's causing me to not be lazy on my timing haha. I was surprised by how fast I caught on with it, and my only complaint was having to double tap it to stop the loop. Depending on what you're using it for it can be a pain trying to hit the next part just right while turning the loop off. My inlaws got me the fs-5u which is an additional switch for it that can set the tap tempo prior to starting the loop and also stops the loop with one stomp when the loop is playing. It seems so simple but in practical application the fs5u was the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ShaneV2 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have 4 or 5 Novation keyboard sustain pedals (basically Yamaha FC5 clones with a polarity switch) that I got when MF was blowing them out for like 5 dollars each. I just tried one with the RC3 and it worked perfectly so that will save both money and space vs. the FS5. Everything's coming up Milhouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SnowStorm Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nice! I have the RC-2 but thinking of moving up to the RC-3 as you guys keep saying good things. It looks like a lot easier to operate. Awesome to set a good drum beat and record and play along to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members paul88lx Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Yeah, I'm loving mine. I just haven't had enough time to really play with it and uncover all the awesomeness. The FS-5U is a mandatory add on. Glad I listened to Broslinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 I've always wanted an RC-2/RC-3. I keep getting close to buying one, then hold back. Very cool pedals though! I think I'd use it at home more than I'd use it for the band. I should really get my recording system set up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
