I've used the Boss RC 300 and a few others.... My favorite though...the AX8 effects pedal. It's an amp modeler with a looper. The sounds on it are insane. I sold my amp and all my pedals when I got it. Look up the online ratings, it's a masterful piece of equipment. I do like that bass effect alot though!
@SuperEvilRussian 5 жыл бұрын
I've been eyeing this thing for a while... It's been out since at least 2013 (amazon listing date). I keep checking youtube reviews and google for the latest and greatest looper station I can use with a midi keyboard, guitar and a mic. Nothing new pops up. This and a floor pedal version more for guitarists from boss (303?) always shows up as the fanciest thing on the market. Thank you for confirming I can use it with a guitar. Hard to find videos of that. The floor pedal loop station has an expression pedal but less tracks, I think. Now I just have to find someone using it with a guitar and an amp. New subscriber. Good demo.

You have approached this very differently. All other videos I have seen have focussed on looping performance. Your comment regarding setting about learning new gear, aiming directly towards achieving personal objectives, is absolutely born out here by the way you approached working with this box. However, the level of complexity here is easy to dismiss. You only get the returns based on the effort you put in to finding the features that work for you. My 505 has been in its box for more than 3 years and I really need to take it away on holiday with me to have the time and head space to learn how to use it.

HI, Anyone know if the Nektar Pacer will control the Boss Rc 505, allowing for Rec/Stop/Overdub/start for each track? i.e. One foot switch per Boss Rc 505 Track (with complete control). Apparently the Boss FCB1010 can do this but only by connecting or replacing a chip inside the Boss Hardware. Whereas the Roland FC-300 can achieve it all straight out of the box, or so I have read in forums (relating to the RC-505).

how do we make a perfect loop ? I mean when i record a loop with my roland JDXI ( not in midi just in audio) and I am listening to the recording, when the loop start again, always i hear a ... time lag ... annoying 1/4 second ?
@natancopeincraft 4 жыл бұрын
The only way around that is to stop your pattern or loop on the jd xi right before the loop starts again, and it helps if you put it the measures before hand so you don't have to stop the looper at the samr time. Another thing is to either set your play/stop to record/overdub or record/stop. I personally use the record/overdub in everything that I want to have a reverb tail at the end, but I know what you mean, you might not want that in the beginning of the loop. The other way around that is to put it into record/play mode, so when you stop the jd xi patterns or sounds it doesn't bleed into the beginning of the loop, and if you want that reverb tail, you have to have a track effect on that sound in order for their to be a reverb or delay when you stop the track or tracks. If you need help explaining, I'm here. I don't have midi yet, but maybe there is a way to get it spot on with one controlling the other and commanding it to stop at the end of the loop, so you can have that perfect timing. I know it drove me a little crazy at first, but I found a method to get it pretty close.

The count in seemed really pretty short in this vid - like 2 counts? I'm wondering if that can be modified/altered to say 2 bars count-in? 4 bars count-in? I'm also wondering if the record start can be synced to say the record start of an Ableton track? Anybody have any input on this? Great vid, btw.....
@TheScreamingFrog916 4 жыл бұрын
I have one that I use with guitars, keyboards etc. You can use a foot switch to start/play/record/overdub. I prefer the table top format, so I can reach the knobs, controls easily to make changes on the fly, while still having the foot switches to start/stop things. There are other easy options for hands free recording. If you have time, download the owners manual, where you can get detailed information, on what you can control with external switches, pedals.
