Music Gear Review – Boss RC3 Loopstation

Jack van Breen talks about the Roland Boss RC-3 Loopstation. He does a killer version of Ramblin’ Man — by himself! You have to catch this! The Loopstation is just out and Jack puts it through it’s paces. If you want to fill out your sound or just have a rhythm track to practice with, this thing is cool.
That piece of gear is way cool! I’ve often had to play gigs as the only guitarist and would’ve loved to be able to dub myself using loops.
The phrase-lag problem or “gap between phrase change” sounds like a fatal flaw in the RC3 loop station. I have two questions:
1) What exactly is a phrase change gap?
2) Does this prevent live multi-loop performances? In other words, is there a gap between two different layers of recorded instruments (a fatal flaw)?
