Sweet Hurb

I think it's a great little pedal.

I bought an RC-2 when they first came out. It's got everything I need, but I just wish it was easier to delete a multi-layered loop on the fly. With this, you need to turn a knob, hit a button, and wait a few seconds.

Single layer loops are easy to delete/undo delete, just hold down the pedal for a few seconds.

it had my head tied in knots when i first got it today working it all out. but once you get there...awesome!

the only complaint i have is the 2 taps on the stomper you need to stop it. everything else is easy peasy to operate on the one stomp( great design by boss they have won the loop game). if i can find a tiny momentry switch i will get it, to make stopping the loop a bit quicker. its not a big hassle though.

as for deleteing a multi loop, once you stop the loop. pressing the pedal down for the 2 seconds deletes everything no matter how many layers. or turning the phrase select knob deletes them too i think.
you only need to go the long route if you have actually saved the loop in the memory.

Hurb you going to be ditching the Headrush or are you just going loopy?

Post by **Hurb** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 9:26 pm

i am really loving the delays on the headrush at the moment and now that i have freed up its looping jobs i will be able to make the most of them.

for a dead on simple looper you cant beat the headrush, but if you want more bells and whistles then look to boss.

does a loop pedal require an fx loop to function?

Post by **Hurb** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 11:58 pm

nope just a amp and a geet.

Depends how you wanna use it. You could put it before a distortion pedal or something and bring it in at some point when the loop is repeating. Or maybe real-time wah'ing. Using it in an FX loop would loop the exact sound you had.

Unless you've got some other pedals in the FX loop after the looper.

AHH MY HEAD HURTS

I've never used an amps FX Loop except for an Aural Exciter I got a while back, which I no longer us.

Another fact for my Watts Journal.

yeh the blues guy's really good! Funny facial expressions but he does play with good feeling - wish he'd just slow it down a bit though, too many super-fast runs.

I agree, it's also my only complaint
when you play in a band it's quite hard to stop the RC2 by two taps and continue playing and staying in rythm
you can do it in one stomp with the additionnal footswitch ?
