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.

Brand

Boss

BOSS began in Osaka in 1973 as MEG Electronics, a company dedicated to effects. Its first BOSS-branded effect was the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble in 1976; the OD-1, SP-1 and PH-1 launched the compact-effects series in 1977. The JustPedals catalogue includes familiar overdrives and distortions such as the OD-3, SD-1, BD-2, DS-1 and MT-2 Metal Zone, as well as utility items such as the PCS-20A cable. BOSS now spans compact pedals, multi-effects, loopers, tuners and controllers. Manufacturing origin should be checked by model rather than inferred from the brand’s Japanese history.

Looper Pedals

A looper records a passage and plays it back repeatedly so additional parts can be overdubbed over the cycle. Loop length, audio quality, storage and the number of independent tracks define the basic capability. Undo, quantisation, synchronisation, rhythm guides, reverse and half-speed functions determine how recordings can be corrected, transformed and aligned with other equipment.
