RE: New Member - Buying Advice and Opinions Sought



Thank you for the suggestion!

I had looked at the Boss RC-50, but had avoided it for a few reasons.

I had heard terrible (really terrible) things about firmware problems,
crashes, reliability issues, and in particular a 1-second delay before
playback that live musicians can find most distressing.  Immediacy is 
really
the key for me, if I'm going to be working with this thing live, and
reliability is a must.  

>From the stats you listed, it sounds like a perfectly fine candidate -- I
merely had heard that it didn't quite live up to the performance that was
listed.

If anybody has opinions on the actual live utility of the Boss RC-50, I'd
enjoy hearing them.
