These are approximate prices. The Headrush just went up from$300 to $350. The EPD are hard to come buy, last i heard, $1800 The repeater is $1700 You won't see a boomarang in australia, wihch sounds funny. The DL4 which i use with the Headrush is about $800. I'm waiting for a headrush with much longer time. Maybe i should check out a boomarang. ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Nelson" <tnelson@metrocast.net> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 4:28 PM Subject: Re: Short review of the Boss RC-20 > At 09:12 PM 11/2/01 -0800, you wrote: > >What did you guy's think of the hiss on the created loop. > >it realy turned me off the whole thing, > > I really didn't notice all that much hiss with mine; for me, the perception > of lower fidelity has more to do with the high frequency roll-off, which >I > thought was pretty close to the older (nonplussed?) version of the Boomerang. > > >I would'nt be supprised if the sample rate was far below > >the headrush, > > Absolutely.
