Comparing the Boss RC-600 to the RC-300
Рет қаралды 55,470
2 жыл бұрынThis video is after getting my new Boss RC-600 and playing it for 2 shows. My system keeps evolving and i'm already looking into supplimental pedals to suit my needs and amplify all the new tricks the RC-600 can do. Lots to learn and add, but consider this my first impression and first installment!
If you're a looper, keep the questions coming! It's been great to connect with so many new loopers and hear about your set ups! For a pedal that can do so much, it will be key to establish systems to suit each musician.
Keep the questions coming! Excited to learn and improve on this new updated Boss flagship loop station!

You could always put the sustain pedal on the right side of the 600 and work backwards starting with loop 3 and work down. Did it all the time with the 300 because of where the expression pedal and effects button were located. That would also help with hitting the nob on the track 3

Hi Emily - great video! have a question on the effects. I have one of these and am struggling a little to get my head around the difference between input and track effects. If I use input effects - I hear what I am expecting (eg a harmony) while playing however, when I play it back, it is “dry” no effect. It seems you have to match the input effect and the track effect. Is there any way to get R600 to play back what you looped in plus the effect you had on at the time you recorded it? I should point out that I am using it in free mode (so one track plays after the other sequentially, not multiple tracks over one another (multi mode) , so that I can do verse, bridge, chorus)? Andy
@EmilyMcVicker 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Andy, sounds like the input effects would be on the instruments/vox coming in vs. assigning effects to the tracks of the loop as they play back. Is it working properly? When I loop parts that have input effects on them, the effected sound is what gets looped. I need to tinker with the track effects more, but the assigned track FX should only apply to the tracks you assign. I’d be interested to see how you arrange with your tracks in a sequence like that. It’s not how I arrange but I know many people do work that way so I’d be curious
@dustygrannis3240 2 жыл бұрын

The circle looper (I want to call it circle jerk so bad) lol, is very, very, good imo. Really easy to navigate and extremely functional for looper rookies like me. If your timing is off on other loopers you’re loop is off too. This one somehow compensates for timing issues and syncs up with the drum machine side like magic.

you may get to this later in the video, but there's a different mode for the mode selector button.

sorry that wasn't clear. pedal mode inc is the setting you can swap out on pedal 7 if you want to use the effects... or... use the setup I created... one mode which lets you record and stop the target track, buttons to inc/dec target track, and the rest of the buttons for input effects so you can quickly cycle between effects while recording across different tracks, and not have to leave the mode.

Yolo! Aren’t you sweet! I am not usually tech savvy all around, but I started looping out of the need to make it work. I’ve been so lucky to play with some amazing players in different bands that when I started making my solo show, I had some great musical influences to keep in mind. I did an interview all about it with my friend JP in the UK who also does looping content. Maybe you will like it :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5qHqaqqqd6Xemg.html

This is great! I am sure other have commented- I am new to the rehlm of looping. I do a lot of solo acoustic shows and would like to add depth with looping. I plan on utilizing my gigs with looping - would you recommend just goin' with the RC-600 or start from scratch with the RC-1 or similarly a good start with the RC-300? Thank you for your response. Great video and content. I look forward to more.
@EmilyMcVicker 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Miguel! You know, the 600 or the 300 would be great for you. But they are different sizes and that might be something to consider with any current pedal set up you’re working with. The 300 works so great. But the 600 does have such a clearer sound and higher bitrate and all that. Those would be the biggest factors to consider. If you wanna loop vocals and more than just guitar, I would not recommend any single track loopers like the RC-1 because you’ll grow out of it too fast. That’s my 2 cents :) Lemme know how it goes!

So.. on the old RC-300 I only use the bass effect. I have assigned the effects button to the bass effect and when pressed, it is immediate (without holding the button down) for recording on any track - (very easy to quickly record a baseline). Is it possible to create this same scenario on the RC-600 except assign 1 button for the bass effect and another button for the harmony effect? My thoughts are to assign the "Track select" button for the bass effect and the "undo/redo" button for the harmony effect. Is this possible and if so, how do you assign these 2 specific tracks and have the chosen effect work immediately upon pressing on all the other channels which are assigned for recording?
@EmilyMcVicker Жыл бұрын
Ya you can totally do that 👍 you can do all the switch assignments the same way. In the pedal modes, you just have to go to the specific switch on the pedal mode of your choosing and scroll through all the options it can do. So you can assign any switch to be the bass FX. You’ll assign bass to one of the input FX (ABCD) and then tell the switch to use that input FX on that switch 🤘😆

It’s only by +/- .1 to .3 out but as you know, it isn’t going to stay in time with the beat for long. I don’t know any loop fanatic that can nail the beat consistently everytime. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issues that you raised are things that also would concern me, I hope, you get this pedal sorted to the point where it covers all the bases for you. I may opt for the RC500, I only need to lay down simple rhythm tracks and use the onboard drums, but I need wav or mp3 export to my laptop which I think the 500 has. The older RC30's weren't acceptable to me due to the terrible sound quality of recording loops vs guitar quality, if I went for great guit quality sound, the looped track would be compromised and/or, visa versa, I think it was 24 bit rate, hopefully the newer 32 bit solves that issue.
