Fun but slightly flawed looper
The RC-50 was the best looper of it's kind when it was released, but did not quite hit perfection (the RC-505 hit perfection). 3 phrase loops, some great features, and a looper that has been used joyfully by many a performer, but had some shortcomings that have been almost completely remedied in the 505.
I'm intrigued. We're talking loop pedals in the forum. Would love to hear more about what you like and dislike about the RC-50 and RC-505.
Must have!
I use this pedals for almost 8 years. And have zero problem. Just love it!

Loops for days. And days for loops! I've never really mastered the whole loop thing, and since there seems to be a slight (few millisecond) delay between the loop start/stop with this pedal (or my timing is slightly off, could be that, I won't front), that's made it a bit harder on me to get used to looping.
Still, this thing, when you do get it going, it goes and goes and goes! You can do all kinds of crazy things with it! Got a drum pad set? Play some drums, then loop a bass line over it, then play your guitar and sing. You're a one person band! Don't have drums? No problem! Use your acoustic guitar as a drum set! Bang on the body for the drums, use the strings as a snare and cymbals!
The possibilities are endless with this station. And with the new ones?
Dude, just go get one. Or the new ones. Or the RC-1. Or just SOMETHING that's got a looper built with it.
