Re: Just received my Boomerang III yesterday

Just look at the capabilities carefully to make sure it does what you 
expect. Pay special attention to the functionality of the two "bonus" 
buttons, each of which is able to handle two functions (like undo, 
reversese, erase all, play once, etc.). They give you a total of 4 
functions, and the four you choose means the others are not available for 
the performance until you reprogram them. No big deal, but it requires 
stooping down to push a button and spin a knob. Just letting you know 
since 
you have so much experience with other loopers. Four special functions at 
a 
time.

I'm very happy with the way the Master Loop #3 works. I'm sure you more 
experienced guys are used to this kind of thing, but this is new territory 
for me. I'll record a rhythm part on loop three, then "arm" loop 1 to 
record 
a musical loop, and it doesn't start recording until 3 loops back around 
again. It makes for some nice tight recording.

I think I may end up popping for the new 'Rang. I DON'T like the fact that 
it is missing MIDI sync capabilities, though. However, EDP's in excellent 
condition are somewhat hard to find and the looperlative is too expensive 
for me. I had an RC-50 and wasn't totally enamoured of the device. It was, 
frankly, kind of a pain in the rear to use. I just sold off my Digitech 
Jamman which is a decent basic device. I've also owned and sold a Boss 
RC-2 
and RC-20 (and also  several EDPs, the original Jamman and the 
cool-looking 
Electrix looper). So...I'm in the market for a new looper and the new 
'Rang 
really looks impressive.
