Quick run down of the RC-300 and how I plan to use it in a live 4 piece band.

Hey, could you tell me if its possible to set a separate effect to each track within a memory phrase. I can only set one at a time and if I try to set a different fx effect to another track while looping it takes the effect off of the original track

@WallWalker12 That's the deal I'm afraid. If I want FX on a track generally I put them on during recording, then I've got the option of additional FX for the input signal on top of what's on my pedal board. Works for me, perhaps not for everyone. If you want to put multiple layers down in 1 hit you could always use an FS6 (or a cheaper, better option from Bright Onion) in a CTL socket to flip through the effects whilst playing then you could record a different effect on each track.

Hi, cool demo.....I have the rc50 which only gives you 16 minutes of memory..but anyway....1 question..when you change the tempo on the internal drum machine does it give you the BPM value on the display?

[alextoft]

@winwin997 Yes it does. And you can tap the tempo with an external pedal during playback as well. Not sure about your RC-50, but with my old RC-3 I could only tap the tempo before starting the playback; the 300 does both. I may do a more detailed video of the config capabilities as it's hugely versatile.

nice set up!!!! i have a question do u have your tap pedal set up to exp. 2 input and all those boss pedals on your bcb-60 hooked up to the exp. 3 input???????? can you demo all of them and not just the tremelo?? thanks!

@1222VALENTINO It's chained. RC300 is basically last in the effects chain. I use the EXP1 pedal (on the right of the RC300) to control patch volume during playback, the tempo pedal is in CTL3 and I have a Bright Onion FS6 clone for patch shift up/down in CTL1/2. I use the sub outputs to feed non-guitar samples direct to the PA instead of through my amp (the piano in Alanis's Thank You for example). It's really very flexible.

But how do I keep the effect on (example) track1 the same whilst designating a separate effect for track 2?
