RC-500 Loop Station : One of the best pieces of equipment I have bought...

... ever. The pedal is so versatile and applicable in practice and musical performance. It is made very high quality and robust. It can be programmed in a million different ways and customized to each user.

The disadvantage is the volume sliders that need to be set significantly below the middle position for normal playback volume.

I hope Boss will work on that in firmware updates. Also, the mic preamp is weak, so if you use dynamic mic you will need set up mic gain very high, or your guitar/keyboard input quite low.

General presets should be applicable to all memories, it would be easier to program the device.
