Im in the market for a loop pedal at the moment and are looking for advice. Ive done a little research myself and have found a nice little boss pedal. if any one has any comments or advice it would be welcomed. I have about $200-$300. the boss pedal i saw wasnt the big loop station it was the little one.
I've been a happy owner Of The BossRC20 XL Loop Station for over a year now. There's a single input, a double input, and the big daddy, a five input. They're $180, $250,and $500 respectively. I absolutely love mine. I am adamantly against performing with pre-recorded music so my Boss RC 20 is perfect for my needs. I thinks it's perhaps the coolest musical gadget ever !!! It took me a little time to master the looping technique but I got it now and people really dig it. The audience gets to see a tune created right before their eyes and I feel as though respect and appreciation is greatly enhanced with "the loop".I run my guitar into one input and a stage mic into the other. I'll add percussion such as djembe, casaba, cabasa, cowbell, shakers, thunder tube, goats toes, sleigh bells, tambourine, vocal percussion, etc... on top of a guitar loop. Then I'll sometimes add vocal harmonies on top of the previously mentioned. The important thing is variety and dynamic diversity. One can overuse "the loop" sometimes if one's not careful. I do not work for Boss so I'm not trying to sell their product. I'm just a small time( but Full-time) working musician and I strongly endorse the Boss RC 20 XL.
What are the advantages of the two input over the one?
Wes Borland uses a loop pedal in this sample if you're interested in listening to it.
You can also find him using the same loop pedal to create this song on the youtube video for "Penang Clinic5"
where he creates a full on song for the crowd using nothing but the loop pedal.

I looked at it. It was really sweet.

I know what you mean. I saw David Ford performing recently in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Had always been a big fan, but never saw him live. The first song he played (incidently my favourite song, "State Of The Union") he used a looping pedal. For the first 2seconds I couldnt figure out what was going on then it clicked on me. I took a few mates who had never heard of him, and they were instantly amazed. There was a definite appreciation of how it the looping was done throughout the crowd.
I'm actually looking for a looping pedal myself now, both for my band work and for a side-solo project.
I just bought a RC20 loop station...haven't even taken it out of the box yet. Actually I'm afraid to. Might not get anything else done for a few days when I do...
