Title: NPD - Boss RC-3
Post by: LaceSensor on December 10, 2011, 06:16:22 PM
Just got an RC-3 in the post.
Meant to be my xmas gift for myself but couldnt resist giving it a whirl.
Fantastic pedal!
I use a lot of loops in my band and wanted something I can save memories too for recall for songs.

This is awesome!
And its tiny.
Im going to make a 1590a boss FS-6 clone for accessing start stop and tap tempo, which will be fun too.

I wont gush for pages, if anyone wants more info just ask.

That's pretty rad. I have a Digitech Loop Solo and it's super rad. I love the fact that I can store loops, that may be the best part actually.

However, for live use I really wish I had a Rang 3.

I looked at stuff like boomerang but its not really what I need.
I think with the Line 6 DL4 and this I have all my bases covered.
Roll on January for first practice of the new year.

I think the Jam man solo and RC3 are very similar in terms of features. I chose the boss one due to preferring the footswitch actuation, and being able to DIY the extra footswitch easily.

I made a DIY extra switch for my Jamman as well. Three extra switches in a 125B gives me stop, up and down. It's pretty dang useful. In some cases, the stop button also works as a tap tempo for the loop as well.

Probably gonna be my easiest DIY build ever.
