Relatively new Rang 3 user here. I concur with Rick. Although I haven't touched an LP2, the rang is perfect for arrangements, songwriting and sequential loop playing, long ambient/rubato passages, in/out fades, stopping/starting all loops, etc. Slicing and dicing is NOT going to be in the general bag of tricks. It's an independent beast as well, since it does not support midi for control or sync. My first serious looper was an original 8 second, then 32, Lexi Jam Man, and I didn't ever use midi sync or control...just those funky plastic Lexi pedals it came with. The Rang 'FEELS', in playing it, like an uber cool original Jamman, with an incredible feature set. Sound quality seems excellent and transparent. Current signal flow: Guitar or Bass EB volume pedal Line 6 M9 Tech 21 Blonde preamp (for guit) Tech 21 Bass Driver (for bass) Moogerfooger Midi Murf This mono signal goes into Rang L Korg ES-1 sampling groovebox goes into Rang R If I'm running into a mono, then there's just a left out and L/R get summed to L Currently recording direct, I'm running both L and R rang outs to separate channels on my mixer. So guit/bass and drumbeats go on separate tracks. The ES1 is more being used as a sampler trigger for single drum hits/loops into the Rang for looping. It's not currently 'playing' in sync, and probably won't be...although I'm wanting to catch a loop on the Rang, then tap tempo the ES1 into relatively close sync, start play on a blank beat pattern, so it will then send clock to the new Murf I just got. Then the Murf will get in relatively close tempo with the loop, for cool animated bleeps and bloops with the rang loop. Still have to rig that up... For me, exiting the honeymoon stage, I'm enjoying the heck out of the Rang.
