How does this compare with a Pigtronix Infinity Looper or a Boomerang III in terms of signal fidelity? I've heard some boss loopers suck tone.

I purchased the RC-300 for versatility. Boomerang: How can you accept equipment that does not talk to the outside world? It can have the greatest of sounds, but you can not collaborate nor import nor save. The RC-300 has rack-like quality effects. The RC-300 can accommodate both studio and live performances, Boomerang is for Live. You can find video tutorials/guides on setting up the RC-300.

I'm not familiar with either of the other loopers, what I can tell ya is that the RC300 doesn't seem to suck any tone or fidelity away. I'm running an Axe FX 2 to it, and I also used to have the Boss GT-100 & it worked well with that as well. It's a great looping station as far as I'm concerned & I like the advantage of all the foot switches. Those other two look pretty sweet as well, I'm just very familiar with the Boss stuff as I've owned the GT6, GT8, GT10 & GT100. I been playin guitar for 25 years fwiw. I went with the RC300 mostly cause I know very well how to navigate the Boss Menus and programming. However now that I have the Axe FX 2 I sold the GT. Hope I helped ya.

I've never used either of the system's you've mentioned, but I run my RC-300 at the end of a LOT of input; POD HD 500, Elec. Keys, Elec. Drumkit, a handful of various analog and digital stomps (Boss and Behringer primarily-Reverse and Delay), and a Digitech Loopman. All of this is simultaneous, and I can't say I've lost any tone whatsoever, and believe me, there's some crazy amounts of variety in frequency as well as modulation that go together at once. You honestly have no worries with this piece of equipment. However, you WILL LOSE TONE without proper amplification and cables. You'll need to consider spending a pretty penny on some quality powered speakers and sturdy cables if you want to preserve your tone. I've been running a standard Fender FM100 Stack for a while and it cuts all of the bass from the kit, keys, and effects, as well as adds too much treble to the snare and higher registers. If you ever multi-link instruments with a y-cable, get a good one. I have a cheapo one right now and both the keys and the guitar/POD system have their decibel values decreased severely. Soooo... In short, you should marry this loop system.

I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them. However, I can say a bit about the Sub-12HG. IN MY OPINION this sub is not very "musical". It doesn't play upper frequencies (60Hz+) very well and isn't very accurate (punchy). On the other hand, this sub is excellent for low frequency needs (down to around 25Hz-40Hz). I have found that it produces more quantiful bass rather than tight and accurate bass. Therefore, it CAN be great for movies, some rap/hip-hop -- pretty much anything needing strictly low end boom. I personally would not advise it for just music use. This is based on my personal experience. I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them.

Each output is not individually isolated, so you'll most likely get noise in your signal chain somewhere, especially if you're plugging power hungry digital pedals into the chain. If I plug my Walrus Audio Descent between a delay and pitch shifter (all connected to the brick), I get very obvious digital clicks from the Descent. I'd recommend a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 4X4 if you want noise isolation.

I mostly use my Sony Walkman NWZ-S545, which has a 5-band equalizer. I equalize it for powerful bass and low mids. My favorite song to test sound quality is Neon Knights by Black Sabbath, as it has extremely powerful bass and percussion. I recently bought the HD 202 II, and I personally think they are the best headphones in market for that price, the sound quality and power is marvelous. I have not tested the 203, however within the 2xx series, I think it is all pretty much the same when it comes to power outcome (I think).

Sound stream is better quality i don't know if anything is different or the same i just went with what i know and the sound stream is still going strong sounds good and remember boss are sub quality i used to own many boss products back in the days for car audio and they didn't last. I hope this helps

i doubt it!.... its a basic all in one cheap machine limited by what it can do.only a small part of it is the looper itself. i have another dedicated looper also as you cannot have looper and drums together.this was a poor decision by digitech as everyone wants looper/drums together dont they?....but it is worth buying for the drum samples alone although they can only be changed by speed their still very good and unless your a real drums enthusiast they suffice for most people just to jam along to with their guitar thats all this machine really is.. is a bedroom practice machine

I'm really happy with how the Crown drives my Ohm F's for home theatre. The Crown has lots of input choices, such as RCA jacks. I know what the distortion specs are on the Crown but I couldn't find distortion specs for the Behringer; I suggest you look into that. I know the Crown has been super-good for me, but I will make the disclaimer that you should do more research before buying.

Hall effect is the only real defiance you my hear, The EH Holy Grail has a tighter sound, Behringer DR600 has a off time sound, you may find the stomp boxes disappointing the Vox may not have the flexibility, but the sound will be much the same.

I think you'll be surprised. I have it in a jeep cherokee and it sounds great. All I have pushing it is this 50$ boss mono block. I liked how compact they both were. Still have tons of room and the sound is impressive. Everyone mentions how they like the sound of my system, how the bass is clean and deep and not overpowering. Plus, if you don't like it just return it...

Thank you all for the response, I am seriously considering getting a couple of these for my mobile DJ setup. Your help is greatly appreciated!

J.A. The Behringer Sonic Exciter SX3040 didn't make a difference in my opinion so I stuck with the equalizer

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)?But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

Zuleyka As for the ME70 its a great pedal,I love my boss it made my guitars sound great. One thing I use is a Good well padded laptop bag to put my gear in. World tour makes Good gear bags for the price, and they have one made just for the ME70. Hope this helps you out, all the best to you. Freddy

I'm n it gunna lie man, they are over rated on the rms. I would say you could definitely pound 3 with 1800 rms constant. Be careful about amps on Amazon bro. Stay away from boss amps.

IMHO the sound is pretty much the same as the hesh's sound, that is also similar to the crusher. I already have one of each and I think that the crusher is the best among them (If you like its bass feature, of course).

The only Boss unit I've tried before is the ME-70 which I personally think sounds like crap. I don't know if their recent products sound any better though,But the G5 has an amazing sound quality. The amp models, drive/overdrive stompboxes sound organic, real, and they respond as a real amp/stompbox does.You can't go wrong with this

I have the dre beats and these monster inspiration. The monster inspiration sound better and work without batteries. Totally worth 150
