Members Mikeo Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I currently own a RC20 and Boomerang plus I don't really like either one of these pedals, but let's say on a positive note there's things I like about each pedal. I think between the 2 pedal, I have had more success with the Boomerang in a live situation. I only pay acoustic guitar with the Boomerang, and it seems my phases are more acurate and natraul feeling with this one. The RC 50, I was wondering about. Looks pretty complicated but interesting. Mixed reviews out there, so I'm not sure about it and for 500 bucks it better be all that and more. I looked at the Akai Headrush and that has 20 seconds of time, which ain't really that much. The Jam man seems kinda like the Roland with a huge memory, which might be pretty nice of saving things.. Seems like they all have a few good points, and lacking in things as well So what are folks using and what do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hecticone Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I use the rc-20xl I think a lot of people have problems with loopers because of timing issues.I have played drums for almost 40 years and guitar for 15 which gives me a pretty decent sense of timing so everything with looping seemed pretty intuitive.The rc works great for home or live no complaints.

Members slight-return Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I enjoy the ehx 2880 perfect? no, but if you tune it to the exact specs for user A you can freeze out user B - so I think the design issues I have aren't so much inherent flaws as judgent calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Karma1 Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I just got a Stereo Memory Man with Hazari that has a looper function. From the reviews I've read people tend to think highly of it. For good info on looping, check out: www.loopersdelight.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AaronF Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 The 2880 looks cool. I use a Headrush, and I am happy with it. It is very "no frills." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tengo Posted June 16, 2008 Members Share Posted June 16, 2008 I had an RC-2, and I now use a DL-4. I think it comes down to just looking until you find what you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikeo Posted June 17, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2008 after messing around with boomerang a lot today, I'm probably most happy with this one. There's a few thing that I don't care about the pedal, like the wheel is on the wrong side of the pedal, no undue, the tap tempo on the Roland seems like a nice feature in theory, but seems un-natural, no save on the rang, but I us mine for live stuff. There's a new Boomerang coming out and I see what that may bring. I have talked to the sales reps at Boss, Akai, Digitech, Line 6 has a new model, but features amp modeling which I have no use for, plus there's no way to scroll through the next phrase. Thank for the suggestions, but for now the Rang stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
