Just when I feel that I am all “geared-up” and that there’s no effect pedal out there that will turn my head, something comes along that makes me want to throw myself to my knees and raise my hands high to the heavens in praise of those wonderful people at the Roland/Boss R&D labs. 🙂
While surfing, I noticed that a new Loop Pedal is coming out from Boss called the RC-50. It’s specs are enough to have me salivating in a Homer-esque Donut kind of way. It can loop in stereo and you can fire up all manner of loops at once and it is red and it has more knobs and buttons to fiddle with. Oh deep joy! There is a reason to live beyond my 35th birthday…and there I was planning to end it all by wearing a collar of bacon around my neck and waiting for Alex the Wonderdog to do the deed. But now, I am reborn…reborn to lust after more equipment I won’t find a proper use for.
My latest object of desire
Expect to see my Boss RC-20XL on eBay very, very soon.
On a completely unrelated note, late afternoon on Friday, the heron that sometimes frequents these parts landed on a neighbouring chimneypot and I managed to get a crafty picture before it flew off. Man, those things are sensitive. One twitch of the curtain and the gangly bugger was flapping off over the horizon.
