Reply With QuoteThe Boss RC2 is lower in price and a few features. Most of the loopers are in the same price range except for the XL50 and maybe the Akai Headrush and Boomerang.
A few guys here have the RC2.
A crafty shopper can get a used RC20XL under 2 bills.

Boss RC20XL Loop Station
I'm bouncing my question over here since it doesn't pertain to the review.
The Boss RC20XL Loop Station is considered good, but are there any other recommended ones in a lower price range?

I was patient and watched and found one for $150 in "good as new" condition on Harmony Central classifieds. I decided to go for the full one used. The RC-2 seems to be working well for at least 3 of our members that I can think of if you would rather buy new, or like the smaller physical size.Originally Posted by just strum

I like the size of the RC-2 as it would fit into my pedalboard.
I wouldn't mind removing the Super Distortion/Feedbacker pedal to make room... it doesn't get used much anyway.

If I purchased used, my preference would be to find something local. I know you guys have said these things are built like tanks, but even tanks break and certainly get abused.
