Boss RC-2, A Couple Questions

resonator · November 20th, 2009, 09:48 AM

What is the best way to set the RC-2 up on my pedal board? I'm running a Barber Tone Press, MXR Carbon Copy, Barber LTD, Hardwire RV-7 and a BBE Sonic Stomp (for now). I'm running the pedals into the front of a Princeton Reverb (no FX Loop). All of the pedals I'm using have "True Bypass" except the RC-2.

Where do I place the RC-2 in my pedal chain to get the best results? When I'm not using the RC-2 will it suck the tone from my guitar and other pedals? For that matter, will it suck the tone from my rig when I am using the RC-2?

Thanks, Res

I would suggest that anything you wanted to include in your recorded loop should run before the RC-2. If you are using other sounds that you do not want to be part of the recorded loop; they should run after the pedal.

I run mine last, and I don't notice tone suckage.....but that's just me.

Use good patch cables and the suckage will be minimal.
Put the RC-2 at the end of your chain.

I use a jamman;have it first after guitar. Yes it saps power when connected.

the patch cables i get are from a local store and they are the pancake ones. I can only find them in 6 inch but the dimarzzio ones are great but at 12 bucks a peice get pricey
