Or record other external stereo audio via the unit's AUX input, and add this audio into your loop tracks. One caveat is that undoing a loop on a phrase that isn't playing WILL cue up that phrase to play next. This might be nice if you really do want the drum machine off and you really don't want any Quantize action.

But if you want nothing less than the most advanced looper then saving up for the RC-600 makes good sense. This is in addition to its ability to service your other inputs (not just guitar, but also your mic or any other instrument, albeit this is an all-or-nothing at a time proposition). There's also some really useable built-in effect which I wasn't expecting to use - but I actually think I will. The lucky few who have already tried newer loopers report sound quality and headroom improvement, better at retaining sound fidelity when doing multiple overdubs. The Boss RC-300 Loop Station offers a range of sensational features - all tailored for the professional musician.You have set the machine so that when you tap Phrase 2, it will finish playing Phrase 1 and then go straight into Record on Phrase 2. I am more actively suspicious of the unit now, but my daydreaming brain says "Hey man; You're savvy - You fix stuff all the time.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. Each track is independently controllable, so finding the right settings for each individual loop is made easy.Of course, if space-saving is really your thing, you should be considering one of the smaller Boss pedals or a Boomerang III anyway (but that's a whole different ball of wax. The only weakness worth mentioning is that it is sometimes difficult to navigate the menu when it comes to particular effects. In some ways I prefer it to the new Boss RC600 (eg I use the RC300's expression pedal as a wah pedal - there's no expression pedal in the RC600).

When the Quantize was turned on, there was a bout a half second gap after you hit Record the second time and the first time it repeated. So while it shouldn't have to be, the fact is that the built-in effects cover some other shortcomings here in a way the 50 cannot. When you use this driver version, the RC-300 system program MUST be updated to the latest version (Ver.

There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. Singular Track Mode is where you run each of the three tracks in singular fashion rather than layering them. My tip is to go for a case with big pockets that can house extra gear, including any external pedals and controllers, cables, mics and power adapter. Similar to other effect devices, the expression pedal can be used to seamlessly add filter effects such as distortion, delay and modulation effects guaranteeing a lot of fun when playing with different instruments and vocals and creating space for creativity. In this way, consumers give each other guidance and give us the opportunity to continuously improve.

While there are newer options available, the RC-300 is still very much capable of meeting my looping needs - and it does so without having to cost me another limb.Everything else so far works great and MUCH better than trying to sync a Boss RC-50 with the RC-300. It has a recording time of up to 10,800 seconds (3 hours), and it has the ability to record, play, and overdub 3 simultaneous tracks. The main use of this is for syncing external MIDI devices, but it can also be used to control the RC-300 via an external MIDI device. I've never used this setting much myself, but while both the 50 and 300 can be set to fade out a loop at its end, only the 50 can fade in. My only gripe is the need to reach for a rotary knob to switch to another preset, which is not as efficient and can be awkward looking on stage.
