Boss RC-300 Loop Station 3-track
$549.99
I have tried different loopers for live performances like DigiTech Jamman and other Boss models – and found them underwhelming for my purposes. They are sufficient if say, you’re in a band and you only need to loop one section of the song to solo over it. But if you’re a solo performer and you want to loop a song that has a verse, a bridge and a chorus, you need to have 3 pedals that can loop each section and invoke them at command. The Boss RC-300 is the only one that addresses this need.
I use a combination of live looping and pre-recorded loops and assign each section to a pedal. You can set it up so that a tap on the assigned pedal will play only the section you need. I also like to use it as practice tool to improvise over a backing track. You can use a condenser mic (XLR wit phantom power) or Direct Input.
Other features that I hardly use but you might find useful:
- Onboard effects such as reverb chorus and delay (admittedly, not its the best feature)
- Import/export sound files (wav, flac, mp3, etc) and can connect to computer using USB
- Built-in drum rhythms
- Stereo output, eg. one instrument on the left, another on the right, without using mixer
Here’s a good example of its use – https://youtu.be/jMNIvLiCnw8 (Kawehi)
