Yeah I agree! The only problem is that you need to spend a little bit of time with the manual to really get to know how to use this pedal properly. Very useful recording tool!!!  |

So.. Do you guys say buying RC-2 is a good musical investment?
In the aspect of learning (of the guitar)is it usefull?
Apreciate your comments on these subjects.

It all depends on what you want to do. Bear in mind that the RC-2 is a looper pedal and it records up to 16 minutes of sound.
For me its a great recording tool which helps me to play with different sounds and setup and recalling them. Also useful for recording music if you don't have a full band but can play most parts yourself. Probably also good for some inspiration for writing too becuase you can just loop some riffs or chords and work out some melodies or harmonies.
Just a few thoughts. It's not a cheap pedal but it's very powerful in what it can do and what it can help the user to do.

| I think it is good if you don't have a band but you have ideas and you want to show them live. |

| I like to use it when I'm recording. I create quick and dirty samples that I use when I figure out bass lines or trying to fit guitar parts together. |

| It works great for keeping in time, learning to play scales, melodies, etc over chord progressions/bass lines you lay down, writing ideas, one man band.... great investment!! No wonder it is a best seller. |

Hi Guys
You guys just made my GAS pains blow out again.
I have been looping with the Line 6 DL4, but the 14/24 seconds of loop time is just too short, for what I'm trying to do.
it's great to hear that, you guys a really having some great fun  experimenting..
I managed to cut a new track the other Friday with the DL4 in 28 Second 1/2 speed mode, but it's a lot of work.....
Would you guys with the RC-2 rather prefer the RC-20 or 50?
Is the RC-2 easy to use live?
Regards Dr. Bob |

Dr Bob; As a "standard" looper RC-2 is for sure good enough, but if you are going to use it more creatively/unorthodox I would go for RC-20. Playing loops backwards is very funny. I think you can buy a RC-20 second hand for less than a new RC-2.
But, hey, RC-2 is a really useful pedal, there are so many ways you can use it. |

| The RC-2 is quite tidy in space consumption, and it also has all of the drum patterns to play along to instead of just a click like the RC-20. I so go for it. I love mine! Alos like that I got it for $105 out the door. |

| The only thing I don't like about the RC-2 is that you can't dub a longer loop over a shorter one. Other than that it is the most useful and fun pedal I own. |

And another thing about the RC-2.
It needs an independent psa, because if itīs connected to the daisy chain, it generates an irritant Whistle
Nevertheless,itīs a great pedal.. |
