Not a lot when compared to the 13 hours you get with the RC 600!!

Both these loopers make use of the same internal brain – i.e. looping & effects engine. So when you really look at it, the RC 505 MK2 & the RC 600 are very much brothers. Most likely why they’re both making their debut at virtually the same time.

MEASURE—Record/play operation starts at the beginning of the next measure. During recording, the length is set in measure units. The RC-505MKII is the most sophisticated and advanced hand-operated looper in Boss’ illustrious RC range. This is perfect for advanced loop pedal users, beatboxers, vocalists, multi-instrumentalists or any creative-minded performers.Crucially, over the RC 300, you also get both mic and master compression with the RC 600. All of which should give you a more level and even mix.

So much so that if effects are what you’re after in a looper, we’d say this makes an upgrade to the 600 worth it alone. For anyone who’s often ‘on the go’, you’ll be pleased to know that the RC 500 can be powered by batteries (4X AAs). Something you cannot do with an RC 600 looper.Learn from artists in the global Swissbeatbox community as they showcase the powerful features and functionality of the BOSS RC-505mkII. Read more… BOSS RC-505mkII Loop Station: The Next Generation With the RC 600 you’ll less likely have to buy additional control pedals – it gives you SO many more options! The 9 foot switches each come with 3 banks, so that’s 27 options you have to play with before even thinking of including external pedals. To remain in control of such a powerful amount of audio-routing, Boss has also given the RC-505MKII a dedicated Input Mixer. The input mixer lets you set all your levels before you start your recording or performance. You have also got a mute function on every input, meaning you can select which inputs are recorded. Sound quality has also taken a step up with the RC 600. Instead of the okay 16bit audio you got with the RC 300, the RC 600 now gives you a fantastic 32bit sound! With all this additional control and assignability, you may worry that it’d be hard to use, but you couldn’t be more wrong.
