Boss RC-20 Phrase Recorder Loop Station

This is the amazing Boss (Roland) foot pedal that provides instant loops that can be recorded, added to and played over live - think KT Tunstall and this is the baby she uses.

This pedal is as new (home use only).

RC-20 is delay and looping in the exteme, yet easy to use: it features

Realtime Tempo Change
Phrase Recording/Sampling pedal designed for performers who want to create and play back loops during live performances
Guide Click and Loop Quantize functions for quick, "easy creation of perfect loops using footpedals"
Realtime Tempo Change function allows for changing recorded samples' tempo without changing pitch
Overdub function allows for creation of "sound-on-sound" loops
Stores up to 10 looped phrases and 1 "one-shot" phrase, even after power-off
5 minutes 30 seconds total sampling time
Mic input, Instrument input and Auxiliary input for sampling vocals or pre-recorded audio–even simultaneously
Auto Start begins sampling automatically with incoming audio
Reverse function creates reverse sample playback on the fly

£110 and it's yours! - how much fun can one person have with a pedal?

Classic ROKSAN DARIUS monitor speakers

These speakers are simply AWESOME.... and NO I'm not American!

I have owned more systems than most people have had hot dinners (seriously) but over the years there are some hi-fi/studio items that just shine above all others - Yamaha NS1000's, Genelec active monitors etc... The Roksans are in this league.

Simply put in terms of bang for buck (which was even true when they were new at way over £2,000) they are possibly the most speaker it is possible to buy pound for pound. If you like weighty but not overblown controlled bass and clear imaging then these are the boys.

They come with their intergral stands and external crossovers which allow either single wiring, Bi-wiring or multi-amping.

Not too big but still a serious monitor....someone is in for a treat!

The finish is black ash and there are a couple of wear marks but overall they look fine...and sound devine!

Demo possible for serious enquiries

£450 ono

YAMAHA VIRAGO 535

L Reg BUT very low mileage. Good runner. No MOT
This was bought by me as a toy for my mid-life crisis but never used.
It's a great cruisin' bike with a fab low seat position.
£800 gets you a bargain!
