RE: Boss RC-20

[SRice <srice44@yahoo.com>]

Hey, this is pretty on-topic for loopers-delight.  ;)

Yes, the RC-20 functions as you describe.  It
continues to play the loop as new dubs are added.
The dry signal is also passed through.  The wet/dry
mix is usually controlled via a mixer, with the looper
on a send/return path.  It is possible to use the
RC-20 by itself, ie plug the source and PA into it
directly, although I have never used it that way.
(by coincidence I'm exploring that topic, but more later.)

I don't think you can change the mix, or the feedback
within the Boss.  So, while there is no limit to the number of
overdubs, each time the older material gets a little
weaker.  With only a few dubs this is not too significant,
but you can make this a 'feature' by slowing evolving
your loop into something very different as the original
material fades out.

Yours in rhythm,
Steve

I don't want to swamp the list with this subject... just a
quick followup to
your comments, Steve.

While I'm dubbing-over the initial loop I assume the original
loop is sent
through the output (maybe combined with my "live' signal)?
Then on the
next pass, ,is the output sending the original loop PLUS the
overdub from
the previous pass?

Can I keep building layers indefinitely in overdub mode?

In old-fashioned recording terms, in overdub mode am I
"bouncing" the
real-time material onto my original loop "track" as I go?  If I
can just keep
making passes while my sounds accumulate, then RC-20 provides
most
of my wishlist in one box.
