How many layers of sounds can it play at a time? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I've never used looper before.

This little looper is amazing and can handle as many layers as you can lay down in a timespan of about 5 minutes. I have recorded, rhythm guitar, lead, slide, and bass.....could have gone more. TC Electronics hit the jackpot on this looper. It is small but does everything I could ever want for a very reasonable price.

It would seem infinite, tho' after a while you'd have some audio degradation. I've never layered more than three or four tracks.

I believe you can layer as many as you want. The first loop will determine the length for the rest, so if you want to loop an 8 bar melody over a 4 bar chord progression you would have to record the progression twice through in order for the next loop to be that long.

sorry for the delay, it's not a dumb question. I bought it for my husband and he said it is awesome as for how many layers I am sorry I am not sure.

You must use a computer or record a loop/track and play along. The controller dial can be used to select sounds during a song but it takes a little time to make the change since the dial is located at the bottom of the controller. If you want to use sat three or four different sounds you build a new file which when open can be dialed in, up or down to get the sequence. I use a radial splitter and two volume pedals so I can blend the fishman vst and the guitar

You can import and export sounds or loops into it by connecting it to a computer. .flac files, i have not connected mine to see what the files are saved as.

I haven't used all of the sounds, so can't answer to ALL of them. After quite a long time of listening, one can notice a pattern on some of the sounds...but the "loop" is more like 20 seconds or longer, not 5. I mostly use the white noise, which is outstanding. But overall this is the best AM/FM clock radio sound machine I've ever had. The ability to adjust bass and treble (even for the sounds) along w/ the fact you can listen to your iPod through it are just bonuses.

We just play one at a time. I have not checked to see if it would play more. Go online to check out the manual.

YouTube has a video of all the sounds. I used to have a downloaded loop of sounds from iTunes too but I could hear the distinct fades in and out from the end of the loop to the beginning. If you're not sensitive to that, fine - but for those that are sound invest in a good sound machine.

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.

Ours only has 10 sounds which equal the buttons you can see on the machine from the picture. You can combine sounds and there is also a on option or timer option. I really recommend it if you need a sound machine. Several of my friends own this exact one as well.

I use multi fx also and I wanted to be able to change the sound and loop so I put it last in line... BTW... love the pedal... I use it playing out.

Yes, you can play more than 4 notes at a time. BUT, this is a cheap product. You will not get the sound that quality keyboards give.

Hamguy is absolutely correct--no looper but awesome amp. The aux in allows you to play with backing tracks. I agree a looper would be nice, though.

I think it only records 1- 20 second loop at a time. Its not a looping pedal, its just another option. I never used the looper & don't have the unit any more. It was a great pedal but I didn't use it all that much. There is a newer version of it, the 360XP. It has a 40 sec looper but don't think its multiple. You can go to their website, DigiTech.com and download any manual to see exactly what any pedal does. Hope this helps.

It let's you use up to 6 effects at one time, instead of three. It also adds more Amp models.

No. You can play to the preset rhythms on the machine for a very long time, though, and I believe there is a record function, but it doesn't function as a looper.

No, modulating effects (flanger, phaser, chorus, etc.) cannot be stacked, they must be used one at a time.

you can record 16 separate tracks in and listen to 4 tracks out all at the same time, depending on how you configure cubase. Also the "separate" monitor out is just 1 and 2 with a volume knob up front. Dose that answer your question?

It does not have effects in/out or an effects loop, but seems to do OK with external pedals. The built in looper is OK, and it has some drum sounds you can use.
