About this deal
Equipboard may receive compensation for purchases made at participating retailers linked on this site. Dig a little deeper and there's the super useful expression pedal, which can be programmed to use in many different ways. And with a warantee and/or service plan from your friendly neighborhood dealer (or heck, a used one with no issues), you'll likely be ok anyway.
I'm here in hopes that I can find help with a fix, replacement, or hack -- but ultimately I suppose some sympathy and/or laughs for another sucker of a shyster and proprietary obsolescence. The RC-300 offers USB Connectivity which allows users to back up phrases externally to keep them safe as well as import or export WAV files from a computer. Each track is independently controllable, so finding the right settings for each individual loop is made easy. This is not quite as cool as the hidden feature mentioned with the 50 that lets you choose between Record --> Overdub and Record ---> Play on the fly.There are some things about the Effects that I failed to point out that are pretty cool and make it more than just a tacked-on guitar processor.
On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. The RC-300 features XLR inputs with phantom power for condenser mics in addition to the built in stereo jacks.The RC-300 was the flagship Boss Loop Station model for many years, with expanded looping and input/output options for crafting complex loop sequences. The only con is the size, I don't see it as a pedal but as a device that you place next to your pedalboard. And I should say that I don't do well under pressure in general, especially when dealing with the pushy types. There is a row of 8 metal foot switches, an expression pedal, several buttons, a two-line screen and a few potentiometers.
