Advice on pedals please!!
Acoustic guitarist, music is sort of Joe Purdy, Damien style, I'm a complete beginner when it comes to pedals and looping. Price isn't an issue at the moment, which of these should I go for, weighing up for easiness of use (I really am a total beginner) and quality:
Line6 DL4 http://line6.com/products/detail/31/ or Boss RC-50 http://www.roland.com/products/en/RC-50/index.html

Oh oh PS - T, why is it that the Boss one is better? (Bearing in mind I wouldn't need to loop more than 14secs per phrase)

Nahhh, you don't need the Boss for what you want. The Boss RC-50 is far too advanced and complex for your needs. As well as fulfilling your looping needs (Damien seems to cope ), the Line 6 is also a delay pedal, so hey, i know which one i'd choose. Oooh, and the Line 6 is considerably cheaper. So unless you want a really heavy duty looping station for recording an obscene amount of overdubs... then it's the Line 6.
By the way, i don't really have any pedals either, but only because i'm unable to work for money!

Getting the RC-50 would be overkil. I don't think anyone uses live loops better than Final Fantasy and he uses the RC-20.

True dat, I would only buy the RC-20 not the RC-50 but if you want a dedicated looping station id go for the RC-20 and not the line6

i gotta disagree and say the DL4 is a dream... i've tried the rc20 and felt it was not a very user-intuitive machine... th DL4 can be very simple if you want it to be or very complex if needed... +1 for the DL4 - i wouldn't trade mine for anything but a boomerang

ahhh i just don't know! i can't choose. Hmmmm.
the RC20 just looks more clear than the DL4 - you know, labelwise. But I guess once you get the hang of things it doesn't matter. Maybe i'll go for the DL4. I'm gunna set up a poll
