Boss RC-3 and Beat Buddy
Hi,
Haven't logged in for a while. Revamped my set-up (new one sigged, used for both acoustic and electric guitar), got back into acoustic guitar playing last winter and had a very nice gig in March and now looking forward to more. I'm now using a Beat Buddy for certain songs, but I'm running into a bit of a problem when using it with the Boss RC-3. Best example: I'm fooling around with U2's With or without you, as I'm planning to give it a go with my singer this weekend. I've got the drum track down from BB's Premium Library, so I know it's good. I'm trying to record the basic bass line on guitar that will loop throughout the song, but I'm finding that after a few repeats, the BB drums and the RC's bass tempos don't match anymore. So the problem is either me (quite possible) or the pedals.... anyone experienced this before ? Is the tempo function on the RC-3 the problem ?

The only way to run a loop pedal with the Beatbuddy is to have them midi sync’d
It would be almost impossible to match the tempos otherwise....as you have found. I don’t think the RC3 has midi capabilities though.

This video demonstrates Beat Buddy / looper midi sync.

The Beat Buddy's midi manual mentions 4 loopers: Boomerang III, TC Helicon VoiceLive, Ditto x4 and Boss RC-300, Pigtronix Infinity. So out will go the Boss RC-3 :-).

There’s a rumour on the Beatbuddy forum of a looper coming out from Singular Sound(Beatbuddy)..not sure when or if though

Ya the RC 3 is a great looper. It’s got all I need except midi.

Looper pedals
Been looking at Beat Buddy midi sync compatible loopers: Ditto x4, Boomerang, Pigtronix Infinity, Boss RC500.
The only one that seems to offer the ability to store loops in the pedal is the Boss RC500... Have I got this right ?

I can confirm this is true about the Boomerang III. Deletes all loops when it is powered down.
