Great addition to any musician
Overall Rating Posted on 31/12/2011 by By Swales
This Boss RC-30 is a must have pedal for all types of musician. It is compact, stylish, and a very clever piece of kit.
It's quantizing feature is superb for keeping your loops in time and i was also really impressed by the way that the rhythm drum track adjusted it self to the speed of your recorded loop automatically.
The dual track feature is also very cool as you can layer as many loops on one track then do this again on the second and control each track individually and also you can set the mix between the two.
The loop effects are pretty sweet, my personal favorite is the Lo-Fi effect. Saying that i would have liked to have had more loop effects built in but there still are plenty to please everybody.
So the boss RC-30 is fantastic! it's leaps ahead of other loopers on the market (apart from its older brother the Boss R3-300) and if you are serious about live pedals as many modern musicians are then this is a MUST HAVE!
