The BOSS RC-5 Loop Station is a compact digital looper pedal that lets you record guitar parts, play them back in a continuous loop, and layer additional performances on top. It's useful for practicing, songwriting, building live arrangements, and performing solo.
Unlike an overdrive pedal, which changes your guitar's tone, the RC-5 lets you build an entire musical arrangement one layer at a time.
What does it do?
Record and loop: Capture a guitar riff, chord progression, or melody and have it repeat continuously.
Overdub: Add more parts over your original recording, such as rhythm guitar, lead lines, harmonies, or bass.
Store loops: Save up to 99 phrase memories so you can recall recordings for practice or live performance.
Play drum rhythms: Includes 57 preset rhythms across seven drum-kit types, useful for practicing in time or creating backing tracks.
Stereo operation: Supports stereo inputs and outputs for compatible instruments, effects, and recording setups.
Connect to a computer: USB connectivity supports exporting and importing WAV files, allowing you to manage recordings and prepare backing material.
The RC-5 offers up to 13 hours of stereo recording and uses a color LCD to display loop status and other information.
