Boss RC-1 Loop Station Pedal

With 12 minutes of stereo recording time, theRC-1 Loop Station PedalfromBOSSis small enough to fit on a pedalboard, even when used with an optional external footswitch such as the FS-5U, FS-6 or FS-7 (sold separately), which can be used as an additional control to easily undo/redo phrases or stop recording/overdubbing/playback.The RC-1 is equipped with dual in/out jacks for use with stereo effects, stereo amps, or dual-amp setups, as well as to connect stereo instruments such as keyboards. Using a single footswitch and knob, the RC-1 is straightforward and easy to operate for the player that is just getting into looping. It can be used to create a basic backing track for practice or to jam along with or to layer complex phrases for luscious arrangements. Whether you’re a beginner or a touring professional, the RC-1 is an ideal tool for any guitarist, bassist or keyboardist.Loop IndicatorThe RC-1 clearly displays its status with a circular 24-segment LED indicator. The indicator can show record/overdub/play status as well as visually track your loop. During overdubbing and playback, the speed at which the indicator rotates directly corresponds to the length of the loopStereo I/OThe RC-1 can be integrated into any part of your signal chain, be it pre effects loop or post effects loop. Stereo setups are supported via stereo inputs and outputs, so you can use the RC-1 after your stereo effects, before the signal goes back to your ampExternal Footswitch ControlUse an external non-latching footswitch to divide the controls between the two footswitches, rather than having to tap-dance on the same pedal and risk losing your progressClassic BOSS DesignThe RC-1 can run off of a single 9V battery or an optional external 9 VDC power supply. The electronics are encased in BOSS’s iconic durable metal housing with a non-slip rubber base. The battery compartment can be easily accessed by unscrewing the thumbscrew at the front of the pedal. This pedal utilizes a buffered bypass for silent switching and driving long cable runs, even while the pedal is disengaged
