What would I be loosing if I get the rc-2 as opposed to the rc-20xl?

 

 

Rc-20xl spcs-



Super long recording time: up to 16 minutes!


Save up to 11 loops at a time


Undo function makes it easy to create perfect loops


Built-in auto quantize for simple and accurate loop timing


Change loop tempo without changing pitch


Footswitchable loop select (with optional FS-5U/FS-6)

 

 

 

Rc-2 spcs-



Up to 16 minutes of record time


Loop Quantize for easy loop-phrase recording


Realistic Guide-Tone drum patterns built in


Easy, logical overdubbing and navigation


Undo / Redo function


11 phrases can be stored and recalled


AUX input to capture phrases from external audio device


External pedal input

 

 

Now can you stack loops on the rc-2 like you can with the rc-20xl? Would I be seeing a huge benefit to purchasing the 20xl or just small little things? It won't be used live but mainly for practicing/improvising and jamming out with some people. I've heard the 20xl also has some sort of preamp.

You lose a little bit of access to some of the features. It's all there but a bit more fiddly to undo and so forth.

 

the drum patterns are said to be improved on the RC2. I just have the RC2.

 

You can certainly stack loops on the RC2. Very easy to do. You can add a footswitch to the 2 if you need it and then it's basically everything from the RC20...as i understand it.

 

Can't go wrong with the 2.

I can get a used Rc-20xl for the same price as a new Rc-2 but I'm just trying to find if there's anything significantly better. Looks like I'm gonna go with the Rc-2.
