Re: Original Boss RC-20



Checkout the Boomerang III.

Pros: 3 loops. Flexibility to do a rhythm loop plus 2 loops that can be 
switched between sequentially. Stereo. Reverse and half-speed support.

Cons: No MIDI sync in or out (in case you care about drum machines or the 
like). Recording seamless loops -- i.e., the record into overdub maneuver 
-- involves a really complicated foot dance. (I'm pushing hard for that to 
get addressed in a future software revision.)
