What did you guy's think of the hiss on the created loop. it realy turned me off the whole thing, I would'nt be supprised if the sample rate was far below the headrush, and the headrush is great for quick results and has an undo funtion. a great live tool. As with the ARSY-20 that thing is $850 in australia, what a waste of money! Obviously every one is very different from one another. ----- Original Message ----- From: "hutton" <hutton@pathcom.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 2:58 AM Subject: Re: Short review of the Boss RC-20 > Glad to hear your comments and I concur with your point of view. > I purchased mine at the same time as the Repeater.
