Alfie Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have one and I love it. Probably the best pedal I have ever bought, great for practice/creating songs. I love it for being so small and portable. GET IT NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-ic Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Cheaper! Im fairly sure it does the same thing, but not certain. Ive sort of explored this route but not seriously yet. Some people say that the RC 20 is a better buy as the extra foot swith makes things easier. I hope this isnt misleading Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't think a B2 will have the same sort of looping capabilities. It's more of a general multi effect processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crez5150 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 If you were going down the looper route I'd suggest the Digitech Jamman.... has the ability to connect to your computer for transferring loops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warwickhunt Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 As a cheaper alternative there is the AKAI Headrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxpedal.co.uk Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 The Zoom B2 is a multi-effects unit. The RC2 is a dedicated looper. They are not at all similar products and neither can do what the other one can. If you're looking at loopers, there aren't too many out there. If you ignore the Zvex Lo-Fi looper which is a bit different, then the Boss is the smallest dedicated looper you'll find. Digitech are launching a similar single stompbox unit but we have no date yet for when it will get to market. You could also look at delay/loopers, of which the Akai Headrush it one. Although the Headrush is a nice, simple unit, none of the delay/loopers will allow you to store multiple loops like you can with the dedicated loopers and their recording memory will be limited, normally to 30 seconds or less. Other delay/loopers are the Boss DD-7 and DD-20, Hardwire Delay/Looper and the Electro Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai. For dedicated looping also look at the Digitech Jamman and Line 6 JM4. But these are bigger and more expensive units than the RC-2. If you're close to us (Northwood, North West London) then pop in for a demo.
