Re: [Harp-L] Boss Loop Station mod (Question for Brendan Power)

The RC-50 is an interesting box - 3 channels, which can either be used to layer 
independently, or switched sequentially.  Each can be separately overdubbed.  
Short of a multitrack recording system, it is the only game in town for 
multitrack.

It includes quite a large rhythm selection (though only 4 bar patterns).  It can 
mix 3 sources, in full stere  It also has quite a lot of MIDI features - though 
you should use this as the master;  as slave, clock changes cause sound 
distortion.

Downside?  It's huge, quite expensive and showing its age a little. You can get 
stuff in and out, by WAV files via USB. You get (off the top of my head) 49 
minutes in stereo and 99 in mono, but can't use expansion memory, like the 
JamMan series.

Bruce Mathiske was mentioned on the MBH forum and I came across this
video by him demonstrating a high end looping station ... Boss RC-50
... $500 ...

Perhaps it could be useful for those who play multiple harmonica types
... bass, chord, chrome, diatonic, etc?
