Building on the massive popularity of the Boss looping range, the RC-1 fits in as an all-new super compact pedal that’s the simplest and most affordable Loop Station ever.

12 minutes recording time

The RC-1 is a lot of fun and fantastically user friendly. Guitarists, bassists, keyboardists and pretty much any mic’d up instrument can be looped to create amazing layered sounds. A fantastic composing live performance tool, the RC-1 has space for 12 minutes of recording time – the longest memory in the ultra-compact looper category and plenty of time to build up a rich, detailed performance.

LED Display

The best thing about the RC-1 however is Boss’ ingenious design. The innovative loop indicator consists of a 24-segment LED circular display letting you quickly navigate the different functions and determine the status of the Recording/Overdub/Play modes. It also feeds back where you are in the loop for perfect loop synchronisation. 

If you’re looking for an ultra compact looper that’s simple to operate, packed full of features and is built for quality and performance, look no further than the RC-1.

Looper Pedals

Looper pedals record a phrase and play it back while allowing overdubs, undo, redo and hands-free stop or start commands. Track count, loop memory, quantisation, fade modes and the treatment of effects on the recorded signal determine whether a unit suits practice, writing or live performance. Some loopers add drums, MIDI clock, synchronisation, one-shot playback or multiple outputs, while simpler designs concentrate on immediate capture. Check whether loops persist after power-down, how overdubs are erased and where the looper sits in the chain; a good workflow matters more than a long feature list.
