Audience: Beginners
- What are the effects or types of effects available?
This is a sampler!
- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
No noon, a socket for CD player. A small USB port would not fail (JamMann)
- Is this a rack or rack-mount model?
No.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?
Intuitive configuration!
- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Editing sample! Yes, you press the pedal, you make your loop, you press again on the pedal and it plays in a loop! You press again and again you can superimpose on the first loop a new sentence and so on!
Then, to the sound, it's all about control (the input, output and also the sound output of the amp ...) with time and more tests ...
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
The manual is comprehensive and simple, just a flat for the connections (at least for beginners ...)

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
Yes, the goal is to sample and that sample, I think the sound played depends on the amp used, but at least for me (Marshall MG100DFX), no loss, no crackling, ... Again it depends on the settings ...
- Which instruments do you use?
With an electric guitar and I will soon try my folk and my piano. I also intend to purchase a microphone for voice sampler, harmonica and percussion. Attention, two inputs, we completely agree!
- Which ones you prefer, you hate?
Who? Effects? Ben sampler ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
One week ...
- What is so special that you like most and least?
I like his mouth and socks (lol) you can adjust the volume of input and output with the feet (I did not try it in shoes ...). The least he has not compared to the RC-50 ... cash but also stop the loop (although again, with the foot you lower the output volume loop gradually according to the popular sounds of course!)
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
No, but I have traveled fairly extensively forums, google, ... I hesitated with JamMann, the two that stood out the most ... I chose this one because they had that here in the store!
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Nine 300 euros in stores instead of 350 with power adapter and plugs needed ... It's a small investment but I think there are hours, days, months (hopefully years) to have fun, train, jam with!
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Experience? In a week? Well, ok it feels fast compared to the limits that can offer the RC-50 ... failing to make up my mind at the use I needed it I opted for compromise rather than RC 20XL RC-2 or RC-50 ... With a little more money, I will opt for the RC-50 (I do not recommend that he who has money or use a pro) that manages several loops ... The limit of this one is managing a single loop and thus the overlapping of phrases, you can not undo the past, it would have been nice to annul the sentences one by one until the first instance .. .
