  • Robust with great features, but needs practice.

    Very well made and robust metal body should make it virtually indestructible. Loads of features, not all obvious at first glance but the manual is very good and easy to use. The looper is great fun, but not too easy to synchronise. Hopefully after a lot of practice I'll get it to work properly. The secret is to not give up and don't blame the machine.

  • Boss RC 30 Review

    When you're looking at loop devices there are certain considerations you must make that suit what you want to use the device for. I have only had the RC30 a short time but here are my initial impressions; For me, I needed something that could run efficiently on batteries (some of the older 'sampling/delay' pedals I had back in the 80's could destroy a brand new PP3 battery in an hour) I also needed the ability to save loops (catered for here by a USB output) and something that could be used easily in a live situation. It achieves most of this; the battery life is impressive and the save and load functions have all worked well so far. Ease of use is maybe the one area that it has shortfalls. Now I do not blame Roland/Boss for this, as with other pieces of kit they have crammed so many features in that many of the switches/buttons have different functions according to what everything else is doing. The fact is that this is not a 'point and squirt' type pedal – you have to learn how to use it to get the best out of it. I have spent some time and so far have had some good results but I am not yet confident on using this in a live situation as I have to decide whether to add one or two external switches for control and I need to know exactly what is going to happen depending on what mode I am in. As I say, you have to know what everything else is doing to know how the pedal functions are going to work, you have to know what recording mode you are in and you have to know how the external switches are going to do and it's not always as obvious as I would like. I am enjoying it and the potential for my solo act is immense and I'm sure that this pedal is going to become an important part of my live sound, but as I say this is not something you can just plug in and use without spending some time with.

  • Essential if you're a solo performer

    If you're toying with the idea of buying one just do it. I wish I had bought one years ago. Surprisingly easy to use and adds another dimension to solo playing. It's great for just messing around, lay down a rhythm loop, bass loop, add as many layers and improvise over the top. I also use it a lot for practicing scales to something more interesting than a metronome! Love the multiple track feature and the ability to save loops to the pedal's memory card for future use. Works great with a microphone at the same time as the guitar, and love the built in drum function. Not sure why the effects are built in, they seem like a bit of an afterthought and they're not great quality. The only down side is there is no included power supply. I picked one up for about £10, it works OK with the supplied batteries but I prefer to plug in.

  • Makes a novice sound like a pro

    Fantastic piece of kit. This has reignited my guitar playing. I'm only a novice but with this pedal I can sound like a full band. Very easy to use from the start, but it has enough functionality to let you develop further. I love it.

  • Good Looper

    Good looper all in all. The drum tracks are limited so I would advice going for phone/computer with a drum app but this is better than a metronome, if simple clicks just turn off the creative in you. The two pedal system is less daunting than the ditto single switch, perhaps my lack to dancing feet is not as confident as it should be. That said it does not add a lot to the RC-3 so unless you've found a miss spelled Ebay entry that no one else has found go for the RC-3.

  • Great little looper

    Great sound and a lot of features - bit tricky to control all the functions in a small unit though, but gets easier.
