RE: Boss RC-2 for a beginner?

["William Hardy" <zhenghardy@verizon.net>]

I have had one and enjoy it for simple looping and practice.  It also has
some drum stuff on it, not great sounding, but lots of fun. It is not as
good for live stuff, as the controls are so small. I think that it is a
good, fun beginning looping device.

Subject: Boss RC-2 for a beginner?

Hi. I'm new to the list, though I've read the LD web
page a few times, and love it as a resource. I noticed
that a local shop has a Boss RC-2 for CDN$150, and I
was thinking about picking it up, as a basic/beginner
looper. I'm mainly interested in laying down simple
repetitive lines (I play rhythm guitar in a funk band,
and so could use it to "play" some of my lines; I also
want to try using it solo in the basement, as a
foundation to play on top of), and it looks like the
RC-2 will do what I want (and more, but I can't seem
to find a simpler looper). I've never done any
looping, so want a simple unit that I can try/explore,
to get a feel for the process before (possibly) moving
up to something more capable (and complicated). Would
this be a good purchase for what I want?

Thanks,
Brad
