Boss RC-1 Loop Station
SKU: RC-1
LOOK NO FURTHER. THE ANSWER FOR LOOPING IS BOSS!
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. Though they’ve been used and enjoyed by various looping artists and performers, BOSS still pursued an easier and more affordable solution. The RC-1 is a straightforward looper that is easy to operate. Experience the fun of looping when you record, playback, overdub, and undo or redo loops using this compact BOSS stompbox. And of course, the RC-1 retains the BOSS quality and performance that musicians around the world have come to expect and rely on.
On the top panel, there is a new and innovative loop indicator, which consists of a 24-segment LED laid out in a circular pattern. You can quickly and easily determine the current status of the Rec/Overdub/Play modes. With a maximum 12 minutes of stereo recording time, the RC-1 is capable of capturing any extended performance that you can create or imagine! The stereo in/out jacks can be used with stereo effects and amplifiers. Additionally, they allow you to connect stereo instruments, such as synthesizers. Other convenient features include battery and AC power, as well as flexible external footswitching capabilities. The RC-1 is an especially great partner to start enjoying looping!

FAQ
-
You’ll never be “out of the loop.”
Everyone always wants to be “in the loop,” but with other loopers, you may not have enough recording time to capture every phrase that you want for your masterpiece. With its 12 minutes of stereo recording time, the RC-1 has the most stereo recording time in its class.
-
Is the RC-1 the right choice for you?
It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a concert touring professional. The RC-1 is a great choice for any guitarist, bassist or keyboardist concerned with usability and simplicity while having lots of fun!
-
What are some applications for the RC-1?
You can incorporate the RC-1 into your existing pedalboard or effects system. It’s also a great way to learn, practice or improve your playing by quickly and easily creating your own backing track to jam along with. You can also loop stereo instruments like synthesizers and have a ball playing along.
-
Is that new loop indicator just eye candy?
Well, yes and no. Sure, it’s cool to look at, but the new indicator on the RC-1 is also very innovative and useful. You can clearly and easily see the current status of the Rec/Overdub/Play modes. You can also switch the indicator to an alternate mode, which visually tracks your loop. During overdubbing and playback, the speed at which the indicator rotates directly corresponds to the length of the loop.
-
What’s up with the stereo inputs and outputs?
Apparently, some other products are based on the belief that mono recording and playback is good enough for you. In this day and age, we here at BOSS believe that it’s not too much for you to expect a stereo looper. With stereo inputs and outputs, you can record and playback your creations in stereo, the way music was intended to be played, performed, and enjoyed.
-
Why would I want an external footswitch?
The optional FS-7 makes footswitching even simpler and easier! And, its compact size won’t take up much space on your pedal board. Pressing the “A” switch will stop the Rec/Overdub/Play mode. Hold down the “A” switch for two seconds or longer to erase the phrase. By pressing the “B” switch, you can easily undo or redo your phrase. It’s that easy!

Other
We are an actual, physical, brick and mortar music store. We do have a warehouse that we ship from but generally speaking, when you buy from us online is just like coming into our store and selecting your instrument off the rack. Before we ship any instrument we thoroughly inspect, setup, photograph and pack the item (sometimes in its original box - sometimes not as per our environmental policy). If your product shows any signs of having been used, we will contact you before shipping. Occasionally if we notice a scuff or scratch on an instrument, the price will be marked down as a result. Descriptions of the flaws aren't always in the product descriptions so if you have any questions feel free to ask us via chat on our website, email or phone.
Special orders, Used/Clearance/B-Stock/Sale items, opened/unsealed new vinyl records, books, instrument strings, microphones, headphones, USB Audio Interfaces, drumsticks, instrument polishes, reeds, brass and woodwind instruments & other similar products are non-returnable. (If a return of one of these items is approved by management, a restocking fee will apply)
* Credit Card Payment Processing Companies/Banks charge a variety of network & processing fees on every credit card purchase. They no longer refund these fees when a refund is processed so we have to pay it even if we refund an order. We are no longer able to absorb these charges and have had to pass this fee to customers when an order is refunded on purchases made in-store or online with a credit card. These Credit Card Processing Fees do not apply for refunds on purchases made with cash or debit.
PayPal and Affirm financing refunds are subject to a 5% Online Purchase Processing Fee. Processing Fees are waived when a refund is loaded onto a Faders eGift Card.
This policy applies to accidental & cancelled online orders as well.
** Restocking Fee of up to 15% may apply if the product or packaging has any damage or is missing items.
When we receive a return, we inspect and test the item out to make sure it is able to be resold. As long as the item itself is still in new condition and all the original packaging is intact and in new condition there will be no restocking fee.
*** Non-refundable shipping charges - the total cost of shipping (both ways) is non-refundable. The total actual shipping charges to & from your location will be withheld from any refunds.
