BOSS Rc-505 Loop Station

Product Information

Straight to right-angle 1/4-inch connectors, 10 ft./3 m length. Also available in 15 ft./4.5 m (BIC-15A) length. View Product The 505 MK2 has 10 assignable buttons that come with 2 banks each. So that’s a whopping 20 effects that you can have at your disposal at any given moment. We’d always suggest putting any commonly effects on these buttons, although in terms of preparing for a live performance, they can work wonders too. Program the buttons before you perform & your whole performance should be (A) a lot smoother and (B) a lot faster. The processor has also enabled faster file import, so if you want to use your own WAV files, use Boss Tone Studio to import to RC-505MKII.

Epiphone and Kirk Hammett team up for the Metallica guitarist’s signature 1979 Flying V – an affordable version of “one of the most important heavy metal guitars of all time”

The RC 505 MK2 now supports midi foot controllers, so that you can send more of the control down to your feet. For guitar players especially, this is a dream come true. Take a look at the LCD screens & you’ll soon see that they’re pretty similar too. In fact, the RC 505 MK2 & the RC 600 share the same menu structure & navigation. The systemwide settings are identical, as are the audio routing options. New targets for external foot control, ideal for musicians who play guitar, keyboards, and other instruments In terms of sound bankage, the RC 600 comes out on top. While the RC 505 has 10 assignable buttons, each with 2 sound banks. The RC 600 features 9 foot switches, each of which boast 3 sound banks, making it 7 banks up & arguable the more custom of the two.

Nebraska was cut on crap equipment… It wasn't a proper recording setup. It was also recorded by somebody who'd never recorded anything before”: How Bruce Springsteen recorded his most important album in his bedroom with just a Gibson J-200 and a TEAC 144You’ll find all the effects from the RC-505, plus: RADIO, SUSTAINER, AUTO RIFF, ELECTRIC, HARMONIST MANUAL, HARMONIST AUTO, OSC VOCODER, CSC BOT, PREAMP, STEREO, ENHANCE, VIBRATO, REVERSE DELAY, MOD DELAY, WARP, TWIST, FREEZE, GATE REVERB and REVERSE REVERB. The MK2 comes with an updated LCD display that gives you greater control over the loops you produce. For those who have a lot of loops on the go, a clear display like this is essential! Works great – the sound quality is impeccable, and the fact that the unit can function as an audio interface while also applying live FX to vocals and synths allows me to cut out some of the extra devices I'd need in my chain otherwise. I've yet to get a full grasp on all of its looping and mixing capabilities, though, because there are just so many features, but thus far, I am astounded by how much I can do on the fly. It immediately puts you in the mood to improvise and experiment. The sheer amount of outputs you get with the 505 MK2 make it by far more the most flexible loopers out there when it comes to working with external hardware. You can also set specific effects over specific inputs/outputs too, which is nice.
