BOSS RC-20XL

Be sure to report when you're done "playing". Don't forget it's almost Summer out there...don't forget to get outside!!!!!!

Awesome!! Congrats on the acquisition!!! I've got my pennies saving up for an RC-2 myself.
They're awesome units and those loop stations are just total inspirations for creativity!

When you get comfortable using it, I'd love to hear a sample of one of your creations!

Well it took some time to get comfortable but I'm making progress the RC lets you record an entire progression then loops the whole thing back so you can add bass,rhythm or keys and the way I have it setup is I use a 4 channel mixer my strat plugs into my ME-50 and into one of the mixer channels the bass, acoustic and aleses rhythm plug into the remaining channels from there they go into the instrument input in the loop pedal the mic runs into a digitech vocalist and into the mic input on the pedal (lots of chords) and out to the amp,right now I'm only useing a small 30 watt ampeg for practice I have been looking at several pa's that are compact and extremely lightweight Yamaha makes one with two speakers on stands it weighs only 40 lbs total and sells for around $600 if I can find one that meets these specs cheaper I will buy it but that wont be for a few months by then I will have enough songs to do a few sets so there's no hurry I will be uploading a video next week to my myspace site useing the RC-20XL should be fun

Good and bad news, the squire PA was not in stock and I would have to wait 2 weeks to get one or the music store could sell me another brand for around $300.00 so I went shopping on the internet at musicians friend and came across a Phonic Powerpod 410/S710 PA for $199.00 includes shipping and taxes it has the same setup as the Squier including speaker cables and a mic with a mic cable it puts out 80W and peaks at 160 so I snached it up and its on the way this is a link to a photo of it

DT my first gig is tomorow at 1pm a house party on the lake my pa was shipped today and it wont get here in time but im going to use a small amp the loop pedal and my acoustic with a mic and keep it simple they like the song 'Edmond Fitzgerald' and Jimmy Bufffet and some Neil Young so I should be ok its only a 1 hr gig and pays 50 bucks plus food and drink but I most likely will book some future gigs from the contacts and its been a while since I was in the saddle so this is a good warmup

DT this is not the first gig I have played I was on the road for over 40 years with bands and I retired to just recording and composition this is the first paying gig I've played in over 10 years I did do some church productions and lots of jam sessions but I haven't done a single in over 10 yrs and I will shoot some videos and get some photos to chronicle this event

Thanks Ark and confidence is not one of the things I lack to be sure, I still have some work to do on humility and common sense tho
