Word. I had an rc300 for over a year before I got ahold of an rc-3 and learning to be proficient at the rc3 taught me the basics of how to use the 300 effectively. Subscribed. This guy is probably a genius. The first concept he explained was 100% inline with my experience.

I feel like i'm on loop watching this video cause i hear the word looper a lot hahah great content

[giantessmaria]

Thanks man, very thoughtful and energetic review!

Your very easy to listen to man! I’m loving my quantiloop setup, I use a MOTIV shure plus which connects onto my guitar, also on my guitar I have a magnetic phone holder thingo. Works and sounds great with a convolution reverb app and dub delay

Hey Jon. Thanks for your video. We used Roland RC-20 and RC-50 for a long time. Then we started with ableton live. Of corse a software(like mobius or ableton) is cheapper than a normal looper, but the hardware you need to run these programm is costs a lot more 🧐

See Kelsey Lu's live looping performances, she uses RC-30 which has just two tracks, and creates wonders. Her loops are 4 to 9 seconds long, not that long.

Wow! Great insight. This helped a lot!🤘

[Benjammin]

Thank you, very informative. I also like how your head and arms appear to be floating in a sea of black :)

[kimohaito]

Really helpful breakdown, cheers man!

Yeah I'm just new to looping myself but I practice a lot and a Looper would help me especially with doing Blues and I can go learn more scale by looping gives me time to figure out what in my brain like if I'm making up a lick

[babonneau]

Great presentation! Bravo!! Gotta dig deeper into the Loopy Pro (iOS) app set up on iPhone or iPad with the camera connector + powered USB hub and instruments connected through my sound card… and the wireless (Bluetooth) foot control pedal like M-Vave chocolate 😊 It’s a bit complex and all buttons have to be routed and programmed but yeah it’s super scalable and flexible! And cheaper than the expensive monster multitrack looper pedals. Definitely NOT going to buy the overpriced Ed Sheeran looper X. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with passion 🙏

[AvinashPandeyMusic]

Great video! I'd really like it if you made a comprehensive video on how to use a looper more effectively. Also, opinions on the Boss RC-30?

[blkleblanc]

I'm currently trying to figure out the Ditto x 4 Looper.

[GrayContrast]

Really, really valuable! Great video :)

[osteri]

Hello, In the video you say that boss rc-300 does instant undo/redo. I could not find from any other source how it's done instantly. Would appreciate if you could shine the light on this one?

[Thebigballoon]

I’m curious, I have a loop pedal I believe it’s digital. Anyways I can’t loop a progressions with certain effects, and switch and improv with other effects without changing to original loop? Do I need a switch pedal or different kind of looper?

[davidschaller]

Hi Jon, what is the best gadget to use for a duo, keyboard and drums, wanting to loop a baseline using the keyboard and jamming across it and being able to store recorded loops for future refinement?

[pyannaguy]

Don't get a TC-Helicon Voice Live 3, is my advice. There are some tutorials out there that make them look sort of learnable & useful, but mine turned out to be an $800 or whatever it was..doorstop. Yikes! What's the opposite of intuitive?

[TavHooters]

Really helpful video...and right on time. I just bought the cheap Amoon one, and downloaded an app....I will let you know

[louietesta]

Liked your video it was well done. I have been thinking about getting the RC-505 looper 5 tracks seems right for me. And $ 500 seems like a fair price. I would like to hear your take on it. Please let me know what you think about it. The only thing that I was not crazy about was that it uses a remote floor switch can’t Just set it on the floor and press on the control buttons I’m thinking it’s not built to do that, but I could be wrong about that, it just looks like they are plastic and won’t take pressing them with a foot. But even that is not a big deal it seems to be more like a desktop light weight looper. But it does look easy to run it. From what I have read.


Thank You for your time
