Oh wow, lame. 

I've been having issues with general, basic sound, actually. Basically, when I turn it on for the first time that day (or after a few hours rest), my guitar will barely come through if at all and I'll have to shut down and turn it back on and then it's fine. Also, it's gotten rather noisy. Not abismal, yet, but it's noticeable. And it's clearly the rc50 because when I turn the instrument volume down and it's just the machine outputting to my amp, there's that wash of white noise. Again, it's not terrible, yet, but it will be. Considering I've had this one as long as I have, I'm more bummed then angry :)

I'm curious to know what problems you were having with the 50 though. I had to replace the sensors under the rec button about 4 times. I got Roland to send me a 10 pack of sensors after the first 2. That and the occasional "too busy" signal were about the only things that I had going wrong. The 300 gives me more grief. I'll load in some samples, they'll work fine for a few days, and then suddenly 'Invalid File type'...

I wasn't stoked about the 300 when I first upgraded from the 50 either, but now I can't believe I was even doubting it!

there is reverse on the 300? i thought there wasn't. that's great! perhaps then i'll look at it more seriously. 

i'm thinking of goin deep and picking up a midi-echoplex

...I use the reverse on the RC-300. Did you need to control certain parameters of the reverse feature?

I haven't had a chance to mess with the 300 yet, but from everything I've read about, I have little interest. It seems too cluttered with effects I don't need and lacks the one I do -- reverse. 

My 50 has been lacking in sound when I turn it on for the first time since it's last been off and needs to be turned off and on for it to work. I just reformatted it and it still had that issue...I'm going to spend some more time trying to figure out that issue. Plus, it's beginning to get noisy on it's own (eg. I'll turn the instrument volume down all the way and there'll be needless noise that disappears when I turn the 50 master volume down or take it out of my chain. Sad to see this happen, I fucking looove this thing and am dependent on it my band, 3dCosby.

Well the RC300 is a pretty logical step forward. It's what I use and I came straight from an RC50 as well.

It's a big step forward in most ways although a slight step backward in a couple.

Might I ask what's fading with the 50? Haven't used mine since I upgraded but mine is still going strong. Wondering what one might expect.

After nearly 6 years, my rc50 is beginning to show signs of fading.

I've messed with the EH 45000 and dug it, but not sure it's on the same level as the rc50...

With the Boss pedal, I love having the three separate phrases and it's fairly toe-twiddling compatable which is crucial for me. 

 Any recommendations on a good replacement for when the inevitable happens?
