Hi Andreas,
I´m using a Zoom RT 223. I sync it with the 3 phrases of
the RC 50, if that´s what you mean.
The internal drum patterns of the RC 50 are crap.
The Zoom sounds better and I can programm my
own patterns. I bought the Zoom just a few weeks
ago, but seems to be ok with quite good sounds
and easy handling, which is important to me. And it´s
cheap: 150 Euros.

Hi Christo
Which drum machine do you use? I'm also thinking about buying one at some
point. I guess you "sacrifice" one of the 3 phrases just for the drum loop
right?

Hi Paul,
the new Jamman Delay sounds quite interesting.
But I couldn´t find any information about Midi.
Does it have Midi? This is an option I like a lot with
my RC 50, as I´m using it with an external
drum machine and loops can be synced this
way.
Best,
Christo

I've had both (am currently using a Digitech Jamman Delay - ow). I
really liked the new 'Rang a lot. The sound quality was pretty good and
the pedal action was acceptable. But--I really didn't like that
"circular" lighted construct at all. I found it confusing and
non-intuitive. And it was time consuming to reassign pedal functions. I
may purchase another one now that the new software version is available.
As far as the RC-50 goes, I found that to be a somewhat flakey
device, i.e. the interface. A ot of button pushes bending over to setup
loops the way I wanted them (e.g. with the proper clicktrack sound).
But, maybe I'll get another one day and give it a second chance.
I think the new Jamman w/Delay is an acceptable looper (my favorite
has always been the Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro followed by the
Electrix Repeater and then the original Jamman). No external pedals are
needed for loop-up and loop-down. It does save loops and has a USB port.
Quality is very good. The Delay is icing on the cake.
Regards, Paul

If you´re looking for a save and easy to handle
looping-device with lots of options, like storing f.inst., I would
recommend the RC 50. And it´s not expensive too. The thing is, you
can rely on it. It works. If I need my synthie-sound loops to be
more round, more smooth, I rather go for my RC 20 Delay
functions. But all in all the RC 50 is a clever apparature and a
good compromise. Best, Christo www.christojota.de-------------------------------------------------- From:

I'm torn between the Boomerang 3 and the Boss RC-50. I've got a
Boomerang Plus which I love, but I want stereo ins/outs so I can move
my looper to the end of my signal chain. The Boomerang would
easily fit on my board, and like I said I love my Plus, but I really
like the idea of being able to save my loops. > > Any
