Gorgeous I love the sapwood in the preamp area, seen the back yet?

So tempting to replace my B3K with one, but two B7K would be too much, surely?!! Help!! Bass Direct?

Blends are funny things, totally depends on the pedal. Sometimes they work really well (Darkglass pedals, IMO of course), other times they are a disaster. The MXR Bass Fuzz Deluxe just doesn't work, thin fuzz tone on top of clean signal, yuk yuk yuk.

I should never have sold my TFR! Great video, so much more useful than 99% of demo videos out there.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1434363007' post='2798853'] I had a ditto and changed to the RC-1 as I wanted to be able to run my looper on batteries. Can't say I've noticed a difference in sound quality and the operation is identical. I did have to take two dittos back as they developed a fault with the foot switch but that's probably a moot point, just got a couple of bad units. [/quote] I think you may have made my decision for me if there is not noticeable difference and you have owned both to testify, the footswitch and led advantages are enough for me to buy. Thanks for all of your input, folks!

[quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1434319948' post='2798670'] Exactly. I can get a close approximation to just about any tone from my ACG imaginable but I can't even come close to the sound of my Warwick. Shame I think I'm going to have to sell it soon. [/quote] You'll regret it!

Roundwounds for a Ric [i]every[/i] time for me!

[quote name='Jecklin' timestamp='1434311078' post='2798603'] I started a thread similar to this a few months back. I was all set to get the ditto, but decided on the boss because of the longer memory and becuase it can run on a battery. The latter may be a non issue for you, but I will be playing at events where there is no power so it was a bit of a deal breaker. I like everything about the boss, however as long as you won't need loops longer than five minutes and have no need for batteries you'll be happy with either. Oh and the flashing dial saying how far a loop you are is useless. It is a very clear indicator of what mode you are in (record, overdub and straight playback and also and indicator of whether the loop ends after one playback - a brilliant feature BTW) but no real use in saying how far through you are, but as with all things like this Ymmv [/quote] Interesting feedback. Out of interest, why do you find the loop progress dial useless? It seems like it works well enough in the video demo's?

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1434306205' post='2798529'] Well spotted omission. The RC-3, RC-30 and RC-300 are 16bit, so probably so is the RC-1 and Thomman says so on their product page. [/quote] Hmm, so there is the first downside for Boss. In reality, audiophiles aside, how much difference is there in 16 and 24 bit? In a mix, nothing I'm sure, but in solo?

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1434305405' post='2798514'] There's a few more Ditto versions now. There's also a Digitech looper that's simple like the Ditto [/quote] The other Ditto's do not really interest me, again it is just the basic one switch no memory banks looper pedal I am looking at. The Digitech looks good too, and again looks better than the Ditto, but has a slightly smaller memory than the Boss (10 vs 12, not that it would ever be used!) and no loop progress LEDs... Are they all the same sound quality? The Ditto and Digitech boast 24 bit, but the Boss does not seem to release this spec?

[quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1434301165' post='2798464'] Probably worth having a good read here: [url="http://looperpedalreviews.com/"]http://looperpedalreviews.com/[/url] as each pedal has its particular strengths and features. It might help you decide just what you want from such a thing. I bought one at random via the Bay, and actually use it more for some of its non-looping features! [/quote] Interesting website, but the reviewer appears to be obsessed with complex looper pedals with all kinds of bells and whistles that, frankly, I'm not interested in! He seems to review these simplistic loopers negatively as a result. I am not bothered about multiple memory banks, slowing or speeding up loops e.t.c., I am just looking for a simple looper that will record and overdub a loop without having to learn to tap dance, with a high quality playback. The Boss seems to be that little bit better than the others, including the Ditto, but if there are difference I am not realising, i.e. sound quality, reliability e.t.c., lets hear it

It's funny, as I was dead set on a TC Ditto Looper as this just seemed to be ideal. But then I saw this had been sneaked out from nowhere: [url="http://www.boss.info/products/rc-1/"]http://www.boss.info/products/rc-1/[/url] From what I can see, it has over double the recording time of the Ditto and that really cool (although unsure how effective in a gigging situation) LED indicator, at the same price. Other than this being larger than the Ditto (which is not important to me, and to be honest I prefer the Boss switching system), why would you choose a Ditto over this? Genuine question. I know nothing about looping pedals, having just used multi effects and studio effects previously for this, so any advice would be appreciated.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1434297035' post='2798402'] you didn't last long warwickless did you? [/quote] There is just nothing like them. It's a shame I keep having to sell all my Warwicks to find this out, hopefully not anymore!

Very generous!

A tone block is not being able to recognise that wood choice has a significant impact on tone...

Incoming....

A fantastic gesture I hope it goes to someone who deserves it, vet them appropriately!

It's a superb looking bass buddy!

I know, I think he will struggle to find someone wishing to give up a Warwick for a bloody Stingray! Decent price, it would seem?
