Boss RC2 demoed in a shop in Edinburgh and ordered last night from
Thomann. I do feel bad about not buying it from the shop who demoed
it to me, but their price was Ł142 and Thomann was Ł97 including
shipping.... (Andy Dempster - youre a very bad man!!!) From the
brief demo in the shop this is an awesome unit. (Adrian - its even
got a simple drum kit in it!) It will certainly do what I want, and
more. I wonder how long Thomann take to send stuff :-)
