Well, what do you want to do?
- Mostly to be able to loop in sync to what a Dj is
playing.
Are you playing an instrument, singing, beatboxing?
- Yes, Iīd be playing guitars, bass guitar and
singing.
Is it important for you to be able to have seperate loops for verse/chorus
type structures or to overdub longer phrases overtop of shorter ones?
- Yes this is very important.
Do you need to be able to control volumes of seperate loops
simultaneously?
- Not so important at first, but really cool.
Also, itīd be cool to go stereo, but as far as I
know, the RC-50 is the only that would go stereo, and RC-50 is not a choice now.
All others I guess would cost me double to do
so.

The purpose of question at first was
really to have info from you guys who own or have owned and performed
live with models like RC-20, RC-20XL, JamMan, Boomerang, Akai
Headrush....the standard units, cause Iīll probably go for one of these.
Also, itīd be so cool learning with you people who have performed with a DJ,
in a "live" experience. That would really make clear which features can not
fail, or must be reliable at all.
See, at this point itīs about getting the
coolest/best individual unit, so that I can perform a very reliable/creative
gig with the DJ community and/or a stand alone act - have in mind I would go
for the RC-50 before reading web reviews about it, so itīs not all about
saving a few bucks.
Also, the DD-20 and LINE 6 DL4, I wouldnīt
consider using them as a looper unit, as I think itīd be a limited choice
for a serious looper. Now thinking it as a delay unit, again from you
actual or past owners, what about the features, sound quality, ease of
use of each one, which is the best?
Thanks again.
Peace.

Re: ...what to go for then?
Hey community-
Have we ever discussed the difference
between a looper and a long delay? Methinks a looper can store a few audio
loops, can start, stop, restsart and/or continue on command, and
can "undo" one or more levels of looping. A long delay won't do these
things, but will have a feedback function so loops can fade away as new
material is added. Any more differentiating features?
I ask this because I'm reading this
thread, thinking, Boss DD-20! Boss DD-20! Makes a great looper!
(except it doesn't do those "looper" things mentioned above)

...what to go for then?
Hi there,
Iīm also new to this community, been
playing guitar for 15 years now and have been invited by some DJs to
perform live with them. Obviously I need a looper, and I was just about
to go and get a RC-50 , but that was before I read reviews on
harmony-central, musiciansfriend.com, loopers delight, etc.....I was
excited about going stereo, having 3 phrase tracks, such long recording
time......bla, bla, bla...........but as I would have it mainly for live
performances, just put it aside for this moment.
RC-20XL is mono, seems to degrade sound
quality as more phrases are added onto previous recorded ones, has the 2
seconds pressed pedal waiting time to change recording/dubbing
functions......sounds not pro enough.
Also read a lot about some little issues on
Digitech JamMan, Boomerang, Electro Harmonix 2880, etc.......even the
Gibson Echoplex Digital ProPlus got bad reviews.
Sincerely....I got lost in the middle of
everything, so it got cloudy for me to define what should I buy at this
moment, what will give me condition for a reliable and creative live
performance, and also be a smart option regarding the cost X benefit X
technology X quality issue.
Counting on your expertise
people....thanks a lot.
Peace.
