Guitar chord forum - chordie → Guitars and accessories → Boss RC-3 looping pedal
Hello Chordieans,
I'm rather new to playing and do not have anyone around me to practice with. I must admit I have a bit of GAS, as in Gadget Acquisition Syndrome, and have been looking at the Boss RC-3. I'm thinking it might be a good addition as a practice aid.
Any comments on this piece of equipment.
Thanks

I moved this topic from Chat Corner to this forum because I think it's more likely to get a thorough answer here.

I think as a practice aid it will do the job as long as what you loop is structured (arranged) it can be something modal(one chord minor or major) or a progression of chords (blues,country,rock) I have a Boss RC-20XL loop station and a Boss FS-6 foot switch I use this setup to record loops of song progressions for parties it allows me to toggle up or down to the next song,if you dont have someone to practice or jam with a loop pedal can be very helpful 
its a great piece of kit .I use the rc 2 an earlier version both live and for practice my mate steff has the rc 3 he also uses it live .I would recommend buying the external foot switch as well as you need to press it twice at the end of your loop to stop it .the external switch allows you to pres it once and automatically erase the loop you have just recorded there by resetting it for your next loop , I find this essential when playing live .You might also want to consider one of the modeling amps such as those from line 6 which have built in loop or backing track facility
I have an RC-2 and love it. I like Boss pedals, generally, as they're pretty tough.
