Product Description

The Boomerang III Loop Station provides the same serial play style as the Boomerang+, where loops play-out one after another, but also adds Serial Master Play Style where you can sync a master loop (whichever loop is recorded first becomes the master) to play simultaneously with another loops in the series. The Boomerang III can create rhythmic backgrounds behind the melodic loops to create a deep sounding ambience especially for solo players.

Boomerang is offering an upgrade to Boomerang III owners after Version 2's planned release in June 2010. Here's what you'll get with the FREE Version 2 upgrade:
- Sync Play Style
- All loops can play simultaneously and are synced so they stay together
- Free Play Style
- All loops can play simultaneously and are NOT synced
- Great for creating ambient soundscapes

Features

- Loop 3 or 4 Sampled Phrases while adding a part or stacking loops
- Undo/Redo loops or the last part of a stacked loop
- Erasing of loops one at a time or all at once even while another plays
- Loop copying even while its actively playing
- Copy Live enables re-sampling where the pedal's output is routed to a new loop
- Loops can be played at half speed and an octave lower
- Reverse loops to have them played backwards
- 48KHz or 24KHz sample rates both with 20 bit samples
- Thru signal is always 48KHz with 24 bit samples

Other features include Thru Mute Function that turns off through signal, Expression Pedal Volume Control where you can connect an optional expression pedal and it will be the master playback volume control, Loop Playback Volume Knob to adjust the loop playback volume, Decay Rate Knob for setting the rate at which earlier parts fade when new ones are added and Stereo or Mono recording and playback depending completely on which of the Smart Jacks you use. Smart Jacks sense which jacks are being used and provides different signal routing options.

Loop options include Once where a loop plays one time through then stops or if already playing, it stops at its end. Fade allows loops fade in or out with one button press; fades can be 3 to 43 seconds. Reverse Solo is an effect that enables you to create reverse leads live.

"My new box of Voodoo magic!"
Sound: I don't normally write user reviews, but I was so blown away with this looper that I felt the urge to give an opinion. This is the first and last looper I'm going to buy (unless its gets stolen?!) The sound quality is the same back as you put in, even when layering a lot of parts. I live and work as a Singer/Guitarist in England, so it was a bit of a mission to get one of these. I'm glad i did! I only spent a couple of seconds reading the manual, before I throwing it on the floor and starting messing with it. This pedal is now the reason I've got back into solo gigs again (that including the fact you don't have to pay it after the gig!) It's so simple to use. I took a risk on this as there are no stores selling these in the UK, so I couldn't even try it first! In my opinion, if you are planning on live looping and you're looking at getting a Boss RC-50, then I suggest trying the Boomerang also. The Boss has loads more features in terms of being able to for example, save loops and import them after and click tracks/drums etc. However, I need to be able to create loops very quickly and operate the looper,sing and play guitar all at the same time, this is where the Boomerang shines. Feature: The switches are very low to the board, so its easier to get the loops tight. The Boss pedals had much further to travel which concerned me. The layout is very simple as there are no 'menus' as with LCD screens, just LED's and knobs & switches. Very 'Retro', but very simple. Quality: I rate this build quality as a nine, simply because I would like to have one made totally of metal, as I fear the day that I break it! Value: Yes its expensive compared to other loopers, but if you want a live tool without the hassle of reading a 500 page user guide and sound quality issues, then buy one of these. I'm off to bed! :-) Manufacturer Support: I emailed Mike who designed these and he was very helpful.

"The Best Looper on the Market!"
Sound: Transparent Looper that keeps the tone pure. The best I found in my comparisons. A great live or studio looper - highly recomended. Feature: Very high quailty switches and case. Solid unit - the foot switches are very sensitive making it easy to sync the loops. Ease of Use: Out of the box you can create layered loops in a matter of minutes. The more sophiticated features - like reverse loop and master looping - take a little time to figure out. But, very intuitive and once you get it - the logic makes total sense. Quality: Nice lookiing unit - built to last = a pro piece of equipment. I personally like the way it looks over the other toye like brands. Value: Of course I'd love to pay less - but, I have no issues with price. Its worth every dollar. A great addition to any players pedals. Outside of having to feed a freind to play with you or drive somewhere to jam - its a heck of allot cheaper. Besides I like the guy playing the rhythm loop - he seems to understand my style - and he plays what I tell him to play. Manufacturer Support: Very personal and concerend about how you like the unit. They only have a couple amazing products - and they take feedback serious. Have had no warranty problems - the unit is solid - can't picture they'll be an issue. The Wow Factor: I personally like the looks of this unit. The clock selector feature lights are cool and tell you whats going on in a snapshot. Well layed out, seems like allot of thought went into it from a players standpoint. Overall: I'd buy it again and again if anything happened to it. Its become my can't live without unit. This is the best investmet I've made in a long time.
