Re: Multiple instruments



the repeater made by electrix actually has 4
independent tracks to loop on (unfortunately, they all
share the same loop - meaning that once a timed loop
is set, it is set...but you have the freedom to have 4
separate tracks to mess with on that loop)...it goes
for just under double the price of the rc-20 and from
the comments on this list, you'll see that most people
look at the boss as a nice introductory looper.  but
when you are spending over two hundred dollars on a
piece of equipment, the question to ask yourself is do
you really want to spend that kind of cash for
something that will most likely not fit your needs or
that you'll grow out of quickly?  

the rc-20 is fun (i owned one myself for about a
month), but it just doesn't provide the kind of
control that most people who are looking to use a
looping device in a practical situation really need.

if you search the archives of this list, within the
past week or two, there were a slew of reviews on the
rc-20 which discuss its advantages and its many
shortcomings in the spectrum of this kind of gear. 
the looper's delight page has a link to search the
archives...

good luck, but remember, for the most part, you get
what you pay for...and i believe that the rc-20 is the
most 'affordable' looper out there...so draw your own
conclusions (that statement was made anticipating the
amount of bashing that can go along with a
generalization like that - but please spare the list
and myself the arguing - we've had enough of it
lately).
