(Roland recommends the FS-5U, but it doesn't have to be.) Since my pedalboard was being taken over by them, I built a little metal housing that looks suspiciously like the EDP footpedal (i.e., a row of seven cheap chinese momentary switches) and can control several items in my rack plus the rc-20 from one place. Since I never use the stored loop selector switch (I prefer to create them spontaneously), I'll probably end up assigning that one to another device, but I use the reverse switch all the time. Incidentally, I've noticed when I power up my pedalboard, the rc-20's reverse always seems to be on (along with the guyatone and digitech stuff) so I have to do this little 'initialization dance' to get things ready... Really, assigning the reverse control to an external switch is not a bad thing; I'd rather it work that way than having to juggle additional functions between the two footswitches on the unit itself. >> memory is used as the phrases are overdubbed, and >> that the sound quality >> starts to deteriorate after "several" overdubs. I'd like to hear more about that.
