About this deal

The RC-1 is the entry-level point into the Loop Station series and the most basic looper on offer from the historic pedal company.

It's simplicity is probably also its drawback: you can only save the loop you last recorded and you have to get used to hitting the pedal at exactly the right time or a new layer will be out of sync.The Ditto+ also features the groundbreaking 'Extended Loop Mode', which allows the user to overdub longer phrases on top of shorter loops.

You’re unlikely to ever need to record a loop that long, so both pedals provide more than enough recording time. If you're without a rhythm section - the Trio+ will generate one for you in a style, genre and tempo of your choosing. There is also no USB present for downloading your loops to a computer and even uploading pre-recorded loops to the pedal itself. AC adaptor (PSA series: sold separately) Current Draw 95 mA Expected battery life under continuous use (These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.

The benefit of this system is that you can glance down at any time and know exactly whether your pedal is recording, overdubbing, playing back, or ready to playback a recording. You don’t need to guess whether your looper is in recording/playback mode as each mode is displayed in a different way using green or red lights. The RC-500 improves on the classic RC-30 with three onboard footswitches that make it simple to control recording and playback, track switching, and more.

You can use your looper pedal just like a regular guitar pedal, placing it at the end of the chain with the input coming from the last pedal on your pedalboard and the output going to the amplifier. If you have questions about operating your BOSS product, please check our Knowledge Base for answers to the most common questions. The display screen on the RC-5 gives you an immediate, vibrant colour cue of what looping mode you’re in – red for record, green for play, yellow for overdub. Some said it couldn't be done because it would be too fiddly to work but those naysayers will have to eat some humble pie because not only have BOSS managed to cram an effective stereo looper into a compact pedal, it's also become their best selling pedal of the last couple of years! The 720 delivers – you guessed it – 720 seconds (aka 12 minutes) of looping, via two footswitches: the left handles looping, overdubbing and undo/redo, while the right starts/stops loops, and deals out nifty reverse or half-speed effects.The original Trio was strictly for non-live use, but, so long as your parts are simple enough and you've got access to a PA to run it into, the Trio+ might just keep up live. You can see you have important features such as microphone input, MIDI control, external footswitch control, etc. There have been times in the past when I bought a lower model pedal to save some money, only to regret it later on. Since the RC-20 Loop Station was first released in 2001, BOSS has led the way by continually releasing new looping products. So having an easy interface is important if you want to be able to dig into personalizing your pedalboard or setting up effects and signal routing.
