My 15 yearold has saved up and got one of these.


Good grief its an awesome bit of kit!!

after 1/2 an hour's tinkering, I'm currently listening to an 8 part LIVE Pachobel's canon.

I picked up one of the TC electronic ones recently, and am thinking about one of these down the line...

I've messed around with the looper on my DL4 for a bit, it's fairly short timewise though, thinking of getting a TC Electronics Ditto.

My Flashback has a looper but I don't use it that much. It's much more limited than the others mentioned.

I had an rc20 before. Sucked a bit of tone. TC Electronic one is true bypass. Great sound...

Great bit of kit alright.

I've no idea how I used to practice without some sort of looper to be honest.
They make it so easy to go through your rudiments like scales and such in a more meaningful and enjoyable way.

A looper combined with a metronome or drum machine is a powerful combo for practicing!

Picked up an rc-2 on adverts last week, having great fun with it. Must admit I'm enjoying the cheesy built in drum loops also.

Yeah I've been a victim of that.... wish more people had given me a heads up.
It's like if a pedal sucks 0.01% of Tone (like a Boss buffered pedal) people won't shut the hell up about it.... But when a pedal drastically truncates your sound like the RC-20, nobody makes a peep

Yeah, I found the RC - 20 effected my tone. A lot. Not to say it was VERY bad, but it wasn't the same as plugging straight into the amp..
