DigiTech FS 300 Foot Controller Three Function Foot Switch Review

I bought it for my old Digitech digital delay as a foot control option. Controls some aspects of the unit but doesn't shut the unit off completely by footswitch as I had hoped. Still learning what it DOES shut off.

DigiTech JML2 JamMan Stereo Looper Phrase Sampler Pedal Review

DigiTech JML2 JamMan Stereo Looper Phrase Sampler Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I play with loopers a lot, and wanted to like this looper, but found it lacking. If you just want to store pre-recorded loops and recall them to play along with, it may be one of the better loopers out there. But for live performance looping, I find myself going back to my Boomerang III. The JamMan requires too much bending over, so its not optimized for hands-free operation. You can't play independent loops that are of different lengths. But it is easy to use and provides the ability to record and recall loops, so I could recommend it for folks who want a simple, easy, but inflexible looper. Also, why did they add an XLR mic input with no phantom power option? Silly! And you can't use a microphone in one channel and guitar in the other for split channel stereo voice and guitar. Silly! Back to my Boomerang, people!

Boss RC-20XL Loop Station Review

Boss RC-20XL Loop Station
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had my Loop Station for a couple years and I still feel like there's plenty I don't know about it (of course I never read the manual!). What I do know, though, is that it's really easy to use. With just your feet, you can set the tap tempo, record a loop, then play over it, either recording or not. If you record a second loop over your first and don't like it, you can erase the most recent loop, again just with your feet. The one thing that this pedal doesn't feature that I would have liked is stereo outs--for that you have to upgrade to the RC-50, but that's way more pedal than I really need.

Whether for use onstage or at home, the new RC-20XL allows musicians to create multi-layered performances in real time. Loops and riffs can be stacked repeatedly until the 16 minutes (!) of ample recording space is full. Never before has it been so easy to create a massive "one-person band" sound in real time. Super long recording time: up to 16 minutes! Save up to 11 loops at a time Undo function makes it easy to create perfect loops Built-in auto quantize for simple and accurate loop timing Change loop tempo without changing pitch Footswitchable loop select (with optional FS-5U/FS-6)

DigiTech FS3X Three-Function Foot Switch Review

This footswitch control makes the Jamman much more usable from any playing position. Although I find the "Mode" button pretty useless, the "Up/Down" buttons are truly necessary for the operation of this unit.
If you have a Jamman, buy this too.

Boss RC-2 Loop Station Review

I just want to mention that the other reviewer got something wrong. He mentioned that when you find a drum beat you like and accidentally go forward to another beat that you CAN'T go back to the previous one..He's wrong you CAN go back. You have to select the little musical note and press the "tap tempo" button. But anyway..About my review..
To me this pedal is near perfect.And I absolutely love it. I feel like i cant play with out this now...
The features : There are a lot of drums beats to choose from and they can easily be changed into a different tempo if they are not as fast or as slow as you would like them to be. There is also 11 spaces to record your songs/phrases to. and 16 minutes of recording which is more than enough for me but if it had more time i'd be happier.
If you want to record clean sounds with the pedal then thats ok. But if you want to use distorted guitar sounds you need a distortion pedal to go before the pedal or else the drums will distort. So if you plan on buying this pedal to record rock songs you might want to invest in a distortion pedal.
This pedal is the closest thing i have to having someone else to play with. It's also a great tool for learning songs that have more than one guitar. You just gotta record each guitar but that doesn't matter because its a whole lot of fun anyway.
The first couple of minutes with this pedal might seem confusing and maybe frustrating for others. But after about 20 minutes or so you really start to get the hang of it and what it can do. The only problem i've had with this pedal is that right from the start the AUX input didn't work,forgivable this time because a lot of my amps and stuff already have AUX inputs. I love this pedal and so will you.. I rarely ever play with out it now. And for $150 its worth it..unless you want to buy it on musiciansfriend for 189. go for it.
I also recommend an adapter for it like with any pedal these suck out the batteries power like nothing.

No one creates Loop Stations like BOSS. Already in heavy demand around the world are the twinsize BOSS RC-20XL and the deluxe, extra-wide RC-50. Now comes an ultra-compact member of the RC family, the RC-2. Housed in a compact-pedal case, the RC-2 puts a surprising amount of features in a stompbox.
