AW: Just received my Boomerang III yesterday

["L.Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

Hi Brian
thank you kindly for this ive been also waiting for a floor pedal with 
this capabilities for a while!
looks very promising...but they have to leave some room for midi sync that 
would be a real pitty if they didnt!!this combined with the adrenalinn 
stomp would be aaaawesome!
do you have any experience with the RC-50?its size makes it already a 
winner for me but could you do a comparison in terms of practicality or 
intuitivity?
cheers
Luis
