About this deal

In this guide, I’ll go through each of the above pedal’s features and explain who each pedal may or may not suit. The HeadRush pedalboard amp modeller and multi-effects unit sounds fantastic, but despite having a large touch-screen, it's less intuitive to use than other units, such as the Line 6 Helix. Whether you're a budding songwriter, a beat-making maestro, or an experimental sound sculptor, we've got you covered. We've considered factors like loop quality, ease of use, creative features and versatility to ensure that our selection represents the cream of the crop. Although, I’d say my guide does a better job, to be honest. As a matter of fact, it’s kind of why I wrote this. Manufacturer manuals are never as good as they could be. Here’s what my signal chain currently looks like with the pedals I have now – notice the RC-5 Loop Station on the end

The LCD display includes four dedicated knobs, which should make it easier to control the software side of things. Some hardware controls found on the RC-300 have been removed in the RC-600 and moved into the software side. 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.The big change with this pedal and the main selling point is how you manage the loops and settings. The graphic RGB LED screen gives you far more information than the segment displays on the other pedals.

Another great addition is that the display now shows you a visual representation of your progress through the loop. This is especially useful if you’re coming in part-way through a loop for an overdub and forget where you are. It Sounds Much Better! Btw, mine came without a manual, for some reason, (an oversight at the factory and not Sweetwater's fault). I had no trouble figuring out the basics and was looping within minutes. The RC-10R is basically a looper pedal and a rhythm pedal in one enclosure. What if you used separate looper and rhythm pedals? The user manual provided by Boss is more of a cheat sheet than a real manual, but despite being quite short it covers all the important features of the device, which is a great testament to how easy is it to use the RC-5. But a more detailed reference manual is available, in case you want to know all the details about how the device works. ConclusionOptions (sold separately): AC adaptor - PSA-S series; Footswitch - FS-5U; Dual Footswitch - FS-6, FS-7; Expression Pedal - FV-500H, FV-500L, EV-30, Roland EV-5; TRS/MIDI connecting cable - BMIDI-5-35 The first thing to point out is that the RC-3 was released in 2011, so it is nine years older than the RC-5. Except as otherwise permitted by this EULA or by mandatory law (meaning a law that the parties cannot change by contract), You must not, and must not allow Your Permitted Third Parties, to do the following: At Guitar World, we're always on the lookout for the coolest gear that adds a touch of magic to our musical creations. As musicians ourselves, we frequently dive into the world of looper pedals to add to our live shows and enhance our practice regimen. By pressing the knob, you can change the incremental values and use fractions like 100.5 BPM. The LED will blink to reflect your changes. The new tempo will now be applied to all of your loops and samples. 8) How to Change Drum Loops on the Boss RC-5

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. Features: do you just want to be able to record simple chord progressions to jam over? Or do you want to create full songs on-the-fly for solo performances? Undo: Imagine you’ve set up the perfect loop and you want to add a melody over the top of your loop. You hit record and mess up the timing of the melody. Loop ruined, right? Fortunately, all loop station pedals allow you to undo the last overdub. The big advantage the RC-300 still has over the RC-500 is the sheer number of footswitches, controls, and external device support.

Cons: If you’re primarily interested in a looper for live use, the compact size will present difficulties – unless you buy an external footswitch to make it more hands-free. You’re even able to connect a microphone directly into the pedal with an XLR cable, which allows you to use the looper for acoustic guitar, vocals, or any other instrument using a microphone. The stop/undo/redo functions can be controlled with an external footswitch if you need an easier way to control your loops during a live performance. BOSS RC-1 vs Ditto Looper
