Best looper out there
I honestly believe that this is one of the best loopers in the market. It has everything someone would need and many more.
Pros: amazing quality, amazing sound, a lot of different drum loops, endless features
Cons: price, kinda complicated (you need some time to get used to the many features)

Great looper with a badly broken rhythm section.
The looper side of this pedal is great.
But the rhythm side is bad. The management software is worse.
Boss is sure you will love their rhythms patterns, so they are all practically the same and there is no way to edit them. You'll have to audition them all to find out what they are 'cause they provide no notational index.
The software to edit patterns is straight out of the '90s and bad. Plus, you can't edit the included patterns.
There is no management software for the settings stored within the device globally or the settings within the patterns individually.
I'm keeping this unit based upon the utility and quality of the looper side.
I would not buy another unless Roland/Boss addresses the deficiencies of the rhythm side with a serious firmware + management software upgrade. My unit has the newest firmware at the time of writing this comment ( Ver.1.09 ).
I don't do reviews, but this product was special.

Nice Looper
I have been using Digitech Jammans for a few years. It?s really nice to have the drum machine. The patterns are really good and the sound of the kits are excellent. It takes a bit of practice to switch between parts A and B, but this is true of all loopers. The rhythm converter software tool for midi patterns is a bit basic and could do with some more functionality. It also takes a bit of trial and error to get the right volume level for imported wave files so that the recorded guitar sits at the right level in the mix. A tap tempo function would also be useful but you can do this with and external CTL Switch. All in all a big step up from the jammans but not as good in terms of functionality as the RC 300, but then again it fits in your pocket.

Decent
If you need to combine a simple looper with a close to beatbuddy drum machine this one is good.
I bought it because I couldn't afford something better atm, it does the job for my simple solo and duo act on a basic level. Sound quality is not fantastic but rather good, some of the settings are frustrating to dial, if you combine it with an extra single or even dual footswitch, the experience becomes much better. Huge advantage is that the loops can be stored and that you can load your backing tracks in there. The screen display is a bit outdated. The construction is sturdy. If you are planning to do more complicated stuff that A-B, this is not for you.

Great update to RC3
If you enjoyed RC3, RC10R will be a major update. The sound quality - as expected - is very good (major improvement) and the possibility of actually having a more complex (well ;-) composition on 1 device is something I was looking for. So far, the thing I don't like is actually the shape of the pedal. Since It's tilted, the buttons are angled. It makes it more difficult to precisily operate it with a foot. Or maybe my feet are to big ;-)

Amazing pedal
I have this pedal for months now and I got used to it. It's drums sounds really nice and easy to use. I really like the fact that you have the looper and drum machine separated and you join them together.
I really like this pedal.
