Product Information

While guitarists have been using the RC-30 to play full songs for many years, it seems the RC-10R is now a much better pedal for this purpose. Even if it uses the same technology as the RC-5, the extra footswitches, buttons, and sliders give you significantly greater control over everything. RC-300 vs RC-500 A solitary footswitch handles your play/stop, undo/redo functions, but as you get more experienced, you can add external footswitches for additional functionality. The basic idea is that you can play an entire verse-chorus style song from start to finish using this pedal to build your loops and play rhythm parts.

It’s just very playable. To me, it’s the best tone that we’ve had from a live show to date”: Sterling By Music Man debuts affordable new signature StingRay for Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz This is a simple looper pedal, and you’ve got 12 minutes of time to play with. If you’re wanting to loop vocals as well, then you might want to look for something with XLR connectivity and maybe with more than one footswitch. There are other looper pedals out there that do the same thing as this, but there’s something so reassuring about plugging in a Boss pedal.The downside of the RC-5 is that it still only uses one footswitch. While you can connect external footswitches, that’s an extra cost that could go towards a bigger unit.

Yes, you can use a looper with any guitar amplifier, just plug it in as we’ve mentioned in the questions previously, and away you go! We’ve yet to come across an amplifier that doesn’t work with a looper pedal. Unlike the other loop station pedals in this guide, the RC-10R really does focus heavily on the rhythm aspects instead of the looping aspects. BOSS RC-10R vs RC-30 The RC-300 is quite a jump up in price over the RC-30, so take a look at what you’ll be creating with your loops and whether it’s worth the extra money or not. The way to think about this is you can build a dedicated loop for different parts of a song, different instruments, or different layers you want to start and stop without interrupting the rest of the music.

A great tip to master the art of looping is to treat the pedal as an instrument. All you need to do is press the pedal in time to what you are playing and you’re golden - if you can tap your foot in time, you can loop. Do you want to be able to run two synchronized loops or will one be enough for you? If you can’t think of any reason to run two loops at the same time, then the RC-3 may have everything you need. Building on the massive popularity of the Boss looping range, the RC-1 fits in as an all-newsuper compact pedal that's the simplest and mostaffordable Loop Station ever. 12 minutes recording time If you’re looking for a basic looper that won’t take up much space on your pedalboard, then the RC-1, RC-3, or RC-5 is probably all you need.
