new to looping, have question about rc-20

    First off, I'd like to say hello to everyone. I am new to the list and 
somewhat new to the art of loops. My name is Andy Morris, I am from the 
state of Maryland. I have been playing guitar for about six years now and 
I 
first got turned onto the idea of looping by messing around with delay and 
feedback. Once I realized that this provided a small similarity to looping 
I 
wanted to be able to loop longer phrases and overdub on top of that. 
That's 
when I learned buying a loop pedal was perfect for me.
   So after saving money for a couple of months I bought a Boss RC-20 
about 
a month and a half ago. I have noticed my playing has improved at a very 
satisfactory rate since than. I have been able to practice my soloing and 
work out new phrases to add to my music. I am still learning, but than 
again 
aren't we always? I am excited about being able to develop my abilities in 
this new way and since playing I have noticed a few things I would like to 
change if I could. One thing I like about a pedal like a Bommerang as 
opposed to my rc-20 is the foot roller volume control. If you want to fade 
out your loop on the rc-20 you have to bend down and twist the knob. Not 
practical as I'm sure you all know.
   I would like to be able to adjust the volume of the loop with a volume 
pedal without turning off the volume to my guitar. This way instead of 
just 
hitting stop I can fade out and segue to something totally different and 
it 
would sound alot better. So my question is if anyone out there knows what 
I 
can do to achieve this, especially if you use the rc-20, let me hear your 
ideas. Once again, I still want to be able to play my guitar while I am 
fading the loop volume out.
    One other quick question, if anyone is reading this post that works 
with 
synthesizers I want to buy a small keyboard synth that I can place next to 
my set up. If anyone has used one in a good price range of $300 to $400 
I'd 
also like your suggestions. Thanks alot, look forward to being part of 
this 
mailing list. Peace.
