The BOSS RC-10R stands out from the rest of the loop stations and was clearly designed for a specific type of guitarist. It’s great to be able to jam along with basic loops, but there will be times when you want to take things further.

The RC-3 is for guitarists looking for a simple looper that has room to grow with them. Basic loopers like the RC-1 or the Ditto can begin to feel limited after a while. The Boss RC-1 also has 2 inputs, labelled A and B. This can be used as a stereo input, which is ideal for keyboards, electronic drums/drum machines, samplers, DJ hardware or even a smart device. Guitarists, Bass Players and Vocalists can use a single input, meaning singer-songwriters can have both their instrument and vocal microphone plugged in at the same time. N.

The ultimate single button looper with intuitive display

Ok, I just exchanged my old Christmas Tree RC-50 for this little looper. The local shop offered a very reasonable price for the old flashy machine and boy, I did feel some relief at leaving it with them. First observations on the RC-1: The way to think about this is you can build a dedicated loop for different parts of a song, different instruments, or different layers you want to start and stop without interrupting the rest of the music.

You’re able to connect an external footswitch so if in the future you begin to feel limited by the one footswitch, you can easily expand it for more control. RC-3 vs Ditto X2 With 12 minutes of stereo recording time, the Boss RC-1 Loop Station has the most stereo recording time in its class. Stereo Inputs and Outputs and Footswitch Support At first glance, it looks like the RC-10R and RC-30 do the same thing. They both have a strong focus on rhythms and two footswitches.The BOSS RC-1 is our simplest and most user-friendly Loop Station ever, and it’s a ton of fun! Since the RC-20 Loop Station was first released in 2001, BOSS has led the way by continually releasing new looping products. Value: there’s a big difference in price between the loop station models. Think about how often you plan on using your looper and what it’s worth to you Note: If you want to know when the Boss RC-1 was released relative to other Boss looper pedals, we’ve made a timeline here. Straightforward Features The Ditto can record up to five minutes, while the RC-1 records up to 12 minutes in stereo. You’re unlikely to ever need to record a loop that long, so both pedals provide more than enough recording time.

The external pedal on the contrary appears to always stop AND clear the loop. There’s some logic to this, since you can use the RC-1 to stop without clearing. Compared to the RC-50, these are extremely minor complications 🙂 The RC-300 is the top-of-the-line looper from BOSS and it’s an absolute beast. As big as a typical multi-effects floorboard, it gives you complete control over your loops. You have Recording mode, Stop mode, and Display mode. I’ll tell you what each of these does in detail in a second but first I must tell you something important. I find the modes are best changed in succession, one after the other. Connect stereo instruments such as a stereo synthesizer via INPUT B and enjoy the full capabilities of your instrument. The right footswitch can play fills at any time as well as fills when you want to switch it over to the second pattern (eg: switching from verse to chorus). Who is the RC-10R for?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. As you will read next, a better comparison is the RC-3 and the RC-5. Read about the RC-5 below before you decide on either one. One interesting effect that has been mentioned is a guitar-to-bass simulator. This can be an incredibly useful effect for solo performers, so it will be interesting to hear the quality of the simulation. Having a way to see exactly what is happening with your looper pedal is a great advantage. Who is the RC-1 for?

There is a big difference in features across the loop station pedals. Before we look at each pedal and its unique features, let’s look at the common features available across all loop station pedals. With this configuration, the pedal’s LEDs will not respond to the length of the loop. Instead, it’ll flash at a consistent rate.The terms of this Section are agreed allocations of risk constituting part of the consideration for Roland’s licensing of Software to You and will apply even if there is a failure of the essential purpose of any limited remedy, and regardless of whether a party has been advised of the possibility of the liabilities. If applicable law prohibits any portion of the limits on liability stated below, the parties agree that such limitation will be automatically modified, but only to the extent required to make the limitation compliant with applicable law. The main difference between the RC-1 and the Ditto is the indicator ring on the RC-1. It might not seem like much, but it makes the looper so much easier to use. This bright display is both innovative and extremely useful, allowing you to clearly see the current status of the Rec, Overdub and Play modes. KISS – use as few gadgets as possible. Try playing acoustic jazz wih a plain amp, it’s loads of fun.
