tom_christopher's Boss Music Gear Setup

I've tried several loop stations before I got myself a proper BOSS RC-30 and I never really felt up to the challenge. Now it doesn't even feel like that much of a challenge anymore, cause the RC-30 is really super easy to use and it even corrects your loops if they are a tiny bit out of rhythm! I don't really use the two tracks but I prefer the two pedals to the single pedal of the RC-3 and of course the inputs for microphone and guitar. Once you've wrapped your hand around how to handle this little fella, the world of looping is all yours!

After I saw someone use a harmonizer by TC Electronix live, I just had to go home and see whether BOSS had one as well, since I'm a big fan of their effect pedals. Lucky enough they did and I got it straight away. A vocalizer like that with so many different effects and possibilites is really the ultimate playground for every singer, who likes to take his vocal performance to the next level. It really changed my live performance completely and I've been using pretty much every effect for different songs, especially the Harmonizer with an additional vocal a third above my main vocal for the chorus and the Autotune, whenever I feel particularly freaky. One of the best investments I've made so far!

Well what can I say, except it's a really good tuner for live gigs. It's roughly the same price as the BOSS Chromatic Tuner, but it looks a lot cooler and it shows you what strings are detuned if you strum all of them at the same time (without capo in standard tuning, mind you). Sometimes it's a little slow, or maybe I'm just too impatient, I don't know.
