Boss RC20

Has anyone used the Boss RC200 loop station? What do you think about it?

I have one.

GREAT!

I used it on my final exam in the conservatory, played a Victor Wooten tune on it. I use it every week in my teaching (drum loops!) and when I'm playing alone to learn chords changes.

The storage thing is exellent, the footswitch-advance-to-next-loop thing too.

I went to an open mic thing a couple of nights ago. The "MC" if you will, had a RC20 and was wicked good with it. He did a few tunes about halfway through the night. The stage had a Roland keyboard hooked up as well, and he'd start with a guitar riff, then insert a bass line, add keys, all while he was singing. the sound was quite impressive. I think the loop station has the capability to quantize (iether that or he was better than I thought). This box is actually something that will solve a huge problem for me. I'm a single act when I play live. This will give me the ability to do the leads in songs like "Wish You Were Here", "Hotel California", and countless others. Too Cool! I was so impressed as to what the heck the guy was using, I waited around to ask him the exact brand and model and wrote it down... ...now I'm looking. The average price I've seen on E-Bay and in the Used section of music stores is around $200.00 (US).
