My friend said he has a problem with it. When he plays a loop with distortion, and whenever he's playing a solo on distortion, the loop seems to fade. Why does this happen? Can this be avoided? I am really eager to purchase the Boss RC-3, but I don't want to run into a problem like this when I'm trying to solo over my loop. My friend said he has a problem with it.

We are having problems now too. There is a reset command that helps and fresh batteries help. The company wrote back to us that is how we learned the reset. My son uses it, I'll ask him.

It is possible check out some of the YouTube video, Single click to start record once recorded it's an overdub, click and hold to erase the whole loop, double click to stop. Double click to start again. Great pedal

I love the shimmer effect but it can be hard to use. There's often times a hash clipping on the reverb if you play a really harsh note all of a sudden. Really depends on what type of playing you're looking to use it for.

My roommate had this system last year and he played them at a fairly loud level the entire year and didn't have any issues with it. It sounds like you may have not had some of the options correct or use you just had a "dud" system. Meaning one bad system.

I have this placed after my tuner and it feeds directly in to the rack effect unit that I control through a midi-pedal board. I ran into some cracking noise that was attributed to my cable which was old. Try arranging your pedals but keep in mind that distortion would have an affect on the output.

Its a 20 second looper that has about 4 overdubs so you build a sound. But no, there are not seperate channels. You can build or use a single sound and then turn off the looped sound or on by a single tap if the pedal. But you could not record seperate sounds and switch between them.

Sorry no it doesn't store any loops......only your your presets setting and favorite sounds.....but if you wanna to save your loops you should go look up the tc helicon ditto and ditto 2 looper....boss rc3 , rc30, rc30 but fyi the boss pedals can be complicated or easy I own both the rc3 and rc30 but all these are great for hands free playing if your playing a instrument....but if your like me doing only beatbox/ a capella style music I use the electro harmonic 4500 or my friend are using the new roland 505 tabletop 5 track looper ....hope this help

Mine did not produce distortion, but did have one defective tone control that produced a static-like issue. After 5 months of trying, finally got a replacement under the warranty. Better off buying a Fishman pre-amp.

I have heard that is a possible problem but I have only used it with battery so far. I have other Behringer pedals that work with my friends one spot. Good luck

I save everything to a looper. I move everything to the Boss looper and then build on that. I can connect that to the PC and wash everything through Acid. I have had this drum machine for 4 years... It has never crashed.

What did you end up doing about it? Our pedal has fallen off and it seems the hole is also stripped. I don't know how it stayed on to begin with. I guess somehow with repeated use the hole got bigger. Replacing the pedal will not fix the problem either.

I'm having this issue as well, with near mint, clean vinyl, and I noticed that it's only in the right channel as well. It starts to become noticeable around the third song of an LP so it seems to be in the same place as yours. On 45s it's constant because they're further in. I was thinking it might have something to do with the anti-skate but I can't be sure. I'm a bit of a noob at this, never having a really NICE turntable when I was younger, so this adjustment stuff is a bit new to me.It does sound gorgeous before it starts happening though. :DI wonder if perhaps anyone has other suggestions?

I use the pedal with me Randall RG100SC... I use one button (right hand) to switch from clean to distorted... the left button switches between the two distortions that are available. It doesn't, however, help with the chorus on/off. I need a separate switching pedal to do that.

You do need an amp with loop effects, it does not work with amps with no loop effects. Why? Because this volume control will be on the last line of pedals, but if you put after this volume box to the amp, you will use the gain and volume of amp, so it will be the same situation with or without volume box.

Possibly lack of phantom power option on the device your connecting it to. I use the cad on a boss rc30 loopstation wich has phantom power. Hope that helps.

1. Don't use it like a pedal in front of an amp, it's meant to be used as a DI box into a soundboard. 2. Make sure your on board eq controls on your guitar aren't turned up the whole way, if the volume on your guitars eq is blasted it will distort the effect. 3. If you are using other effects, make sure they aren't overdriving the ADI21. If everything is correct and its still distorting than it may be the effect. I've never had any problems with it distorting at all, it should be a pretty transparent effect just adding some eq to your signal and acting as a DI.

After using more than 2 years, I can say:First, the connection, volume box connect in the loop effects, if you use effect pedals in loop effects, put in the last position. The speaker soak from the output of the amp to cabinet. Second, the sound, I use to play with my amphead Blackstar HT 100watts, well it works well, but the tone changes a little, so for practice is ok in my opinion, but if you use with combo amp, 40 or 50 watts, you need to increase the level of volume box and the tone will change but not too much, so in amp combo 50 or under, I prefer to not use volume box. The Speaker soak is better, it is like true by pass, not change the tone, but it is very very expensive.I hope to have responsed you.
