Sound: sometimes I have trouble getting one sound louder than the other. I wonder where all the deleted music or mistakes go. I hope not in the hard drive. over all it is a keeper.I use it 3-5 times a week.And I play for hours when i use it. I run it through a mustang 3 so i look for the clean channels. Feature: It didn't come with anything,but software, which is ok for the price. the auto looper comes in handy, and it takes a little time to get a true loop with no spaces. All and all i think boss did a good job. everything is good and up to pare. Ease of Use: It has a good sound. I run my cry baby wa wa pedel and my boss distortion peddel throught it. It is a no brainer to use, just read the manual and you will be fine. Quality: It is built like a tank I don't use a backup. Take your time and learn the in's and outs. I still wonder where the deleted mistakes go because sometimes i make a lot of them when i cant get something right. But so far so good. I have owned it since june 2011. Value: I think it is a good price. worth every penny. Manufacturer Support: no so far i have not had a problem with it The Wow Factor: I think it has great sex appeal. It makes me a better guitar player on my leads. It is great looking and i like the color and the way it lights up. It is a A plus in my book. GET ONE. Overall: I will use this for a long time. I will always have good words about this product. I will not bad mouth other products. I had a few loopers and I didn't like them. But fell in love with this one.

Overall: Its a great thing to have for practice at home or jamming with others. There's so much recording time on each slot, you'll never run out of time. And the usb port, auxillery plug, and mic port make it THAT much better. The only problems that I do have, is that when using batteries they die quickly (about 3-5 days depending on usage) but that's why they have the AC adaptor; also it only has 10 drum patterns, more would be better.

Sound: There was no loss of signal when switching between the station and my other effects rig the sound is clear Feature: Call me old school but I like having an on/off knob or switch instead of an input jack to turn the unit on/off plus the risk of loosing data when pulling a jack when in a mode is scary otherwise it is well organized Ease of Use: Took me a while to "learn how to record and overdub" along with the rhythm track but once I got its been a lot of fun Quality: Well made as usual with all of the boss line of products Value: Great for the money Manufacturer Support: Have not needed it yet don't expect too The Wow Factor: Have one Overall: Hope to have this box for a long time it's a ton of fun . Never had so much fun playing with myself

Sound: It does not color your tone at all. Whatever comes in is what goes out. The only down fall I've found is when playing back a loop and playing over it it's a little tricky to mix them properly when your using one amp. I use two amps and it sounds awesome. Feature: The most useful feature about it is being able to create a loop using reason or fruity loops and store into the pedal. I can create a backing track for each song on the set list, store it and play it back live. You can also store a file like that then overdub a rhythm live and your free to play lead over that. The least usefull feature for me are the built in effects. I do all that before the rc-30. Ease of Use: To get the full awesomeness from this pedal and do it with quality results is an involved process. It's not plug and play, but I like that. Quality: Built like a tank. Value: A great value! It may seem pricey but for what it allows you to do its well worth it. I bought this pedal and now I play keys, synth, all kinds of electronic stuff, rhythm and lead guitar and I do it all without ever taking my hands off of my guitar. Manufacturer Support: I have not needed to contact customer support. The Wow Factor: Its sexy. Also everybody I know wants one. If you have it your the man. If you use it with skill your even more the man. Overall: I love it!!!

Sound: This Boss looper has excellent sound quality. Nice to have individual faders for each loop. Feature: Many features for the money. I know there are those to lament the lack of MIDI (as do I). And the effects included are pretty much useless for my needs. I don't like having the two pedal contraption hanging off to increase/decrease the loop. Why not just have a dedicated switch(es)? Also, NO POWER ADAPTER! Why do I have to spend $24.95 for a power adapter? Plus, the older power adapters don't appear to work with this unit. Ease of Use: A few of the functions are tricky to understand (the two separate tracks for ex.). Quality: Appears to be rock-solid like all Boss products. Value: I guess it is a pretty good value as the Boomerang III is $469.00. Manufacturer Support: No idea. The Wow Factor: N/A Overall: Nice looper. I've had them all over the years. For approx. $300, you can't gp wrong.

Sound: I am not experienced with looping gadgets or other similar devices; this is a new part of music for me. My experience so far is that the sound is good on one or 2 layers or loops. After several layers it starts to sound 'digitized' which is too bad, because that's when it gets really fun. Feature: I chose this model for the XLR input and the large memory capacity. Ease of Use: It is very intuitive to use ... except the 'save' function. It is easy to hit the wrong button and erase something. Quality: The buttons are solid. The pedals are solid. It is sturdy and well assembled. Value: It was a good value which is why I chose this model as compared to competing models and brands. Manufacturer Support: not needed yet ... The Wow Factor: A practical addition and a nice introduction to effects for processing acoustic sound. Overall: I like that it is a quick and simple way to record myself for learning new tunes and arrangements.
