Members Lanefair Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 My band was filming a video and no one had a copy of the song, or a laptop, or a cd player to play the song so we can film along to it. So anyway the director of photography had a copy of it on his phone, someone else had an adapter, so I uploaded the song onto the RC-2 and then ran it into the mixer, and left it by my drummer to trigger it for takes. What an increasingly awesome pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldCrankyDouche Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 I had the RC-20XL, but the volume and tone-suck issues caused me to sell it. The same issues that some people claim dont exist. Hopefully the RC-2 is an improvement. How difficult is it to use without the ext switch?

Members thezeng Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 i think its fine. one thing i dont really like about the RC-2 is the compression. and it doesnt really like high gain recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thezeng Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 its seriously a great pedal though, i just turn down the gain when recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ambient Exposure Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 it doesn't really like high gain recording.I disagree. I've done some dam fine high gain recordings through my RC-2 without any issue.Maybe your version of "high gain" is just incredibly insane?

Maybe your version of "high gain" is just incredibly insane? i'll take that as an insult maybe i dont have the volume loud enough? i just find it fizzy.

Members Lanefair Posted April 14, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 I found it a lot easier to stop and tap tempo with an external footswitch. I never seem to be able to get the rythm right by pressing the button on the pedal. But this only really applies to syncing up the tempo of prerecorded stuff while playing live, something I don't really do. The quality of recording and playback isn't studio hi fi, but it's far from bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thezeng Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 yeah i find that after a while of pressing the footswitch on the pedal, the screw gets loose until finally falling out unpleasant surprise that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarist_with_ Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 My bassist bought one a while ago and at first I thought 'why would you bother getting that thing..?' Then i finally decided to play around with it and realised how cool it really could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alistarr* Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 I disagree. I've done some dam fine high gain recordings through my RC-2 without any issue. Maybe your version of "high gain" is just incredibly insane? i have problems with multiple high gain tracks, for example if i record one big mufferized track to the RC-2 and want to play another big mufferized part over the top. it seems to struggle and the parts start fighting each other, like it wobbles between which frequencies are in charge or something. it might just be that i don't have a high enough quality cable from RC-2 to amplifier, though, and it's the cable that can't handle it. no way for me to tell really.anyway, it's an awesome pedal. i like sending mp3s into it for drum patterns sometimes.

Thing is, how many layered big muff guitar parts do you ever hear in a recording, maybe that happens in the best of situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alistarr* Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 fist and lanefair - valid points both. while i think it's a problem with high gain tracks more generally than just the muff-specific example i gave, i think you're probably right to some extent at least. sometimes i like the burbling chaos, anyway.

Members fist Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 sometimes i like the burbling chaos, anyway.Sometimes i just put down a simple clean riff and maybe something layered over it, then mess with EQ and effects and see how crazy i can get it to sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crxsh Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm liking mine more and more every time I use it. I did just pick up an FS-5U for it though. Seems like that'll be a useful tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
