Anyone notice this one? http://www.roland.co.jp/products/boss/RC-50.html.
Looks like it's only available in Japan. No idea how it compares to the RC-20XL but it looks serious.

Thanks, it looks like it is exported then and luckily enough I can read German so I'll translate it and add it to the gallery pages.

3 stereo loops, 24(S) or 49(M) minutes of sampling time, USB output for storage, 297 storable loops, 376 rhythm patterns.

I don't need it but I still want one
489 Euros from Thomann... No, it will have to wait.

Hey, Steve!

Just the usual. A little buying and selling of FX, trying to whittle my board down to the bare minimum. I'm down to a chain of about eight or nine pedals, so I think I'm getting there. Waiting on a clone of a '70s "Ram Head" Big Muff. There's something I've not seen before - Muff tones out of a Boss pedal - is there such a thing?

Anyway, I've been playing lately with the sound-on-sound feature of the DD-20, and it's a riot - looping is totally new to me, so I'm still enamoured with the whole process. This RC-50 seems like a monster!

I should have an FV-500L and FS-6 in the mail today in anticipation of its arrival... Ah, the hunt. Dopamine levels on the rise. I'm sure I'll dig it all when it gets here, but isn't waiting the best?

Hope all is well with you -

Alex

Just a quick follow up - I've had the RC-50 for a couple of weeks now, and it's a great piece of gear. Very solid construction, excellent sound quality. The only thing that doesn't work properly is the tempo sync; changing the tempo of a recorded phrase by any degree degrades the audio terribly.

Other than that - and that's not a feature I'd use anyway - excellent. Well worth the current asking price of $500.
