BOSS Rc-300 Loop Station, Three Stereo Tracks with Dedicated Footswitches And Controls for Each; Xlr Microphone Input & Usb Storage

Product Information

This feature can be good for practice - record a rhythm loop to play over, then slowdown the tempo to master accuracy, then increase the tempo to improve playing speed. My other concerns were still appropriate (it's slightly more brain power to remember which button to hit for an overdub rather than knowing it's always the one all the way to the left) but not really a big deal. But it's not always rainbows and butterflies because the menu system requires a lot of time and effort to properly utilize. Dig a little deeper and there's the super useful expression pedal, which can be programmed to use in many different ways. I also thought I was going to need external pedals for these, but you can hold down one of the three phrases for 2 seconds to activate it.

The RC-300 seems to have the same problem with the A3 (everything works great except for the one lone Delay effect) but since the 300 has its own, I forgive them for quibbling.

Of course I mean the second delay that comes after the undo is activated, not the 2 second hold part).Play buttons being spaced out mean less reach is needed when I am standing in a different position on stage.

My reasoning at the time was that some beer-juice hit the ribbon cable and made its way down to the connection at the chip-on-glass.As if the wait wasn't bad enough, if you're not on the Phrase at the time, this will actually cue up the loop (yikes! With a little planning, you can mask this effect by ending your loops at the correct moment and/or playing through the first Record/Quantize transition.

And so if you count from here, my first mistake was not having enough of an initiative to make the attempt to convince our salesman that the pedal had issues as he was very clear that the factory reset fixed it and everything was fully tested. While there are newer options available, the RC-300 is still very much capable of meeting my looping needs - and it does so without having to cost me another limb.We use cookies to analyse site usage, provide social media features and personalise content and ads.
