BOSS Rc-505 Loop Station

Product Information

Tap tempo acts as you’d expect, but also while the tempo is displayed on the screen you have an opportunity to grab a rotary encoder and shift up/down, with the loops stretching and compressing accordingly. At the extremes the digital processing this involves becomes starkly audible, which may or may not be your bag, but shifts of around ±20bpm are handled with minimal degradation, depending on the source.

I must admit I never use the rhythm section of my RC‑505, but it’s undeniably convenient if you don’t have a drum machine around, or to the performer who values simplicity. You can route the rhythm’s output to headphones or one of the sub outputs, if necessary. You can easily run vocals, a guitar, a bass, a keyboard and use another mic for experimentation, at the same time. Plus, to further optimise each instrument connected to the Loop Station can be adjusted with the Input EQ. The RC-505MKII can handle it all! Straight 1/4-inch connectors, 10 ft./3 m. Also available in 5 ft./1.5 m length (BIC-5), 15 ft./4.5 m (BIC-15), and 20 ft./6 m (BIC-20), 25 ft./7.5 m (BIC-25) lengths.The MK2 comes with an updated LCD display that gives you greater control over the loops you produce. For those who have a lot of loops on the go, a clear display like this is essential!

The 505 MK2 has 10 assignable buttons that come with 2 banks each. So that’s a whopping 20 effects that you can have at your disposal at any given moment. We’d always suggest putting any commonly effects on these buttons, although in terms of preparing for a live performance, they can work wonders too.
