Manufacturer's Description for Boss RC-20XL Loop Station Pedal with 16-Minute Sampling

With the Boss RC-20XL Loop Station, you can explore the expressive options offered by sound-on-sound performance. The RC-20XL allows you to layer phrases on top of each other to create a massive "one-man band" experience. After you've impressed the crowd with your layered masterpiece, you can bring it to a proper end with one of the three on-board Stop options.

Perfect for use both onstage and at home, the Boss RC-20XL Loop Station adds depth and excitement to your performances by allowing you to layer phrases in real time - as many stacks as you like until you fill up the 16 minutes of ample recording space on the RC-20XL Loop Station. Build the ultimate solo, and do it all live in real time with the RC-20XL Loop Station.

Features

- Super long recording time: up to 16 minutes!
- Save up to 11 loops at a time
- Undo function makes it easy to create perfect loops
- Built-in auto quantize for simple and accurate loop timing
- Change loop tempo without changing pitch
- Footswitchable loop select (with optional FS-5U/FS-6)

More, Better

The Boss RC-20XL Loop Station picks up where the popular RC-20 leaves off, as it offers more recording time and more features, but at the same great price as its predecessor. The RC-20XL Loop Station inherits the same 'hands-free' pedal operation from the RC-20: Record, Play, and Overdub can be done with the left pedal - all the while your hands are free to play your instruments. Now, you get about 16 minutes of recording time to record and store loops or one-off phrase, and you can work your way backward thanks to the new Undo function, a must-have when making mistakes during overdub.

Performance Tools

The Boss RC-20XL Loop Station has 11 memory tracks, in which you have the choice of storing either one-shot phrases or loop phrases. During your performance, you can switch between the tracks with an optional FS-6 Dual Footswitch, or two FS-5U footswitches (momentary-type). The Undo function can be a useful and musical function for erasing your previous phrase and instantly layering a new one. After you have dazzled your crowd, now its time to bring it to an end. The RC-20XL offers three stop options for this purpose. When you hit the pedal, you can either immediately stop the playback, let the phrase play until the end, or fade it out. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Boss products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Best looper ever."

Sound: Excellent sound.. reproduces with no sound loss in my opinion and I don't even have a good amp.. just a small microcube practice amp I've been playing it on. Feature: I only wish you could record 2 live loops at the same time.. hopefully they'll have a pedal for that soon. Otherwise, it's better than the Akai Headrush if you were thinking about that because you can look the mic as well. Ease of Use: Very easy.. not as complicated as you might think. Quality: Very sturdy, very good quality. I don't see it breaking at all in the future. Value: Great product! I think it's well worth the money! I got it for $210 on Ebay. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use it yet. The Wow Factor: I was so stoked to get this! Definitely happy I HAVE it now! Overall: Great product, does exactly what it's set out to do.. takes some practice but it's soooo fun! Hours will fly by being creative!

"for live solo performers, this can make you sound like a band."

Sound: i am amazed at this small piece of equipment. i bought it monday and by monday night my life had changed. i hope i will always have this thing. it's unbelievable to lay down a rhythm and then play lead parts over it. you can even loop your voice. it's like hearing your self after having been recorded for the very first time but instantaneous. i heard a guy on stage do a blues progression and then play a lead over it and i was hooked! Feature: i am still learning the features but even within a few minutes of looking at the manual i was able to surprise myself with how much this will change my live performances! Quality: it's well made, with a metal casing like some other boss products. i will not be afraid to take it on stage. seems like it will be a work horse piece of equipment. Value: i was not happy that the product was so expensive but it is well worth the money. Manufacturer Support: don't know The Wow Factor: this thing makes one person sound like a band and frankly that appeals to me. this is beyond practical. it is necessary for a solo performer. Overall: i will supplement this. right now i plug everything i have in before it and then plug it into the amp.

Style of Music: singer, guitarist, keyboardist, drummer, songwriter - rock, alternative, blues, reggae
