I’m interested in it, but does seem pretty complicated for an old guy like me. If I decide to purchase this, I’m gonna definitely sign up for your course! The hardest thing for me is everyone takes for granted we ( meaning those new to looping) know what all the names of stuff means when you go into the menu. Like for example 1 shot ect. Have no clue what those terms mean as far as what functions they will change. So it’s like spending hours trying to figure all that out. Like I need to get a looper definition book for dummies! Hey, maybe there is one? Gonna go look! lol!
Great info. Sometimes I record intro of songs and then verse chorus bridge etc. By memory bank up and down I can get several sections for one song. However Sometimes intros are for instance 1 and a half measures. Not a whole number. This makes my switching from one section to the next off because doesn't wait till loop.end, even though I set it to loop end. Any tips on this?. I tried to use immediate switching but I find if you're not perfect the drums won't be in time.
I would like to ask you about loop sound level, there’s other feature instead of manual slider? I mean, in RC-5 you can set an individual sound level on every loop and save it. Is there the same?
I’m still a fan of the 500.. most everyone I follow is running the 600 , but because I’m still a beginner/ intermediate musician, the simplicity of the 2 track 500 seems a better fit for me.. if I need more tracks , ( for say a third part, like a bridge ) it’s my understanding that if I use a midi controller I can scroll up a memory slot, and presto , 2 more tracks.. ( and the on board drums stay seamlessly in sync through the memory slot changes..)
you have to put a jack cable into the output A for the pedal to turn on, I thought mine was broken too when I received it because of the weird way the pedal turn on compared to other pedals

I know it's not a looper but would love to here you breakdown the Polyend Step that just released.

Pretty helpful. I like using mine to play bass and guitar. Makes me feel like a one man band XD

I've had mine in the Box for 3 years and I can't get it to turn on
Try putting in the batteries, then inserting a lead into Output A. Pretty simple..🙂
