| I was faced with this decision myself and based on 
price went with the RC20 and have been happy with my choice..  That said, 
it sounds like the Boomerang is a better option for you..  I've never 
recorded with one before but a couple of friends have used it on recordings and 
my ears don't hear any problems..  The 'rang is much easier to tweak on the 
fly for sure but the option to store ten loops on the RC20 is a nice bonus, they 
both have their positives and faults when compared to one another but like 
I said before, in your case the Boomerang sounds like a sound 
choice.   Cheers, Ryan     ----- Original Message -----

  AM Subject: RC 20 or Boomerang 
 I have a question: I am just getting started in 
  composing loop-based guitar music. I just purchased a Boss DD 20 which I run 
  into a Boss BR 1180 digital recorder. I am now focusing on the purchase of a 
  loop dedicated piece of equipment: either the RC 20 or the Boomerang. I am 
  having trouble figuring out which one to buy. I think the RC 20 will fit 
  perfectly into the chain that I already have and I suspect the sound quality 
  into the BR 1180 should be good, since my stuff is all BOSS. However I am not 
  sure if the RC 20 will give me the freedom to experiment and create 
  "spontaneous and evolving" loop based music like the Boomerang. The Boomerang 
  sounds good and it falls into my price range but I am concerned about how it 
  will sound when recorded (I have heard it is noisy). I think there is a 
  question in here somewhere. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I would 
  love to get the EDP but I have a mortgage and 2 young boys. Thanks. Danny
