Thank you, Ross. Excellent video. For us older, not so computer literate people, this kind of instruction makes so much more since than the owner’s manual every could. And thanks for the shout-out on the Sonicake toppers! They are wonderful.
This is literally the BEST and most informative tutorial on the RC-600 I've seen and I have literally watched 100s! Great ideas for organizing the pedals! thanks so very much!

I fully acknowledge tho that this is a good thing and my uncomfortableness is a sign that I’m doing what I should be doing in order to grow into this device.

Thank you very much for this video Ross! It’s the reason i ordered one last week. It arrived yesterday and i set it up just as you described here. Works like a charm. I bought and sold loopers for years. I’ve used several boss rc models, a boomerang, singular sound aeros loop studio, etc. Your array of 6 single pedal loopers in mode 1 is really what sold me on this looper. I’m looping forward to the simplicity and versatility of this configuration.

Nicely done. I wish all tutorial videos were like this - clear instructions, we can see exactly what you're doing, and no unnecessary waffle. It's a complete contrast to another video I just watched, where rapid jump cuts were used, even between button presses when changing a setting. With the unnecessarily rapid narration, by the end, I was no wiser how to do what he suggested, or why. With your video, everything was so clear, I don't think I'd need to watch it again to make every change you made.

The downside of making six single-button loopers is that when you clear a track it plays for a second or two while you hold the pedal down. Even if that track isn’t playing at the time, it comes on for a bit before it erases. Could ruin a moment or two. Better to have a dedicated stop/erase button for each track.
@RossGallagherMusic

You could change the All Clear to a PUSH rather than HOLD, which will instantly clear the loops without playing them.
