BOSS has moved on to the RC-50 to rival the Jam Man.
if you like the RC-20 but wish for a more compact unit to maybe fit your pedal board, i'd suggest you consider this one instead:
however, do assess your needs; if you think you want ample on-board memory, the Jam Man has a memory card slot... 8)

yes my friend 8)
to relegate the RC-2 as an entry level looper unit is trivializing the tremendous inspiration it generates. if you want minimum tweaking & have no issues with storage, the RC-2 is recommended.
if you are the tech-inclined type, the RC-2's utilitarian features would insult your intelligence but if it's your initial stab at a looping device, check the RC-2 first.

all loopers will have a learning curve. Inclusive of learning what the pedal can offer and how YOU, wanna use the looper
I have the rc-2 and couple of other loopers. Most loopers function can be pretty straight forward. Inclusive the loopers you have mentioned.
Going thru the manual and having the thing infornt of you will solve lotsa problem.
The rc-2 is cheaper coz of theres certain things which they left out from the bigger one like rc20xl or the rc 50.
If you wanna use a rc2, a separatly sold boss fs-6 dual footswitch is very much needed to get the most out of the rc-2
Actually when looking for looper, the most important things, imho is to go thru the spec of the loopers on the product page and gauge how you want to use it and what can be gotten from it, according to the specs
If you are not sure how you want to use a looper, then just get either one and learn from there. Different people might have different ways of using a looper, it might suit them, but not you or vice versa.

it is fair to say that the RC-2 offers the fundamentals for the initial looper user. after trying it, if you feel that it can't fulfil your needs, do climb up the manufacturer's offering hierarchy.

the rc 2 shud be able to fulfilled all the needs you wanna..
only thing to take note is the looping time available from it. By saving one loop only, you will have round 15-16mins of it, but the more loops you save, it will be shared within the max looping time available.
If each loop you saved is around 30s to 1min and just playing live over it(without overdubing)lotsa thing can be done. But if you wanna save loops which contain entire rhythm part/bass/drum of 3-4 mins each and still overdub, theres limitation from the max looping time available.

is it available here?
other alternatives:

the ehx 16 sec delay has been discontinued - www.ehx.com
as for the rc-2 and jam man, you can try them out in our shop. both are in stock.
thanks!

if need more loop time without add on, get the RC50,
if need more time and saved loops, get the jamman coz its cf card friendly
if need drum loops and bassline, get a laptop, audio interface, software like ableton/reason, get drumloops and basslines online, install and play along while looping over and over plus real time manipulation of whatever parameters needed
boomerang more suitable for live looping and improvise looping/playing(compared to saving loops and playing back while having another instrument play over), shorter looping time as compared with boss/jamman
EH 16 sec and 2880 got that 4 beats irritating count in before the loop start(after stepping on the start record stomp switch). Unless EH already mod then sent out the product, if not, this is one of the shortcoming of the product(other than size and additional pedal for full usage of the pedal). I have the 16sec delay modded without the count in. It really rocks as a looping device cum improvised sound tweaker.
