Boss RC-1 Loop Station
The RC-1 is BOSS' 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. The RC-1 also
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.
Looping Made Easy
Designed
with guitarists and bassists in mind, the RC-1 is all about instant
musical satisfaction. Lean, mean, and housed in the rugged BOSS compact
pedal case, the RC-1 lets you experience the fun of spontaneous loop
creation with no complicated controls or features to get in your way.
All looping functions can be accomplished with only the integrated pedal
switch: record, overdub, play/stop, undo/redo, and clear. That may
sound like a lot on paper, but in practice, it's incredibly natural to
operate the RC-1 while playing. Beyond the pedal switch, the RC-1 has
only one other control to be concerned with-to adjust the loop volume,
just give the Level knob a twist. That's it.
Of course, you'll
want to see what's happening while you're working with the RC-1, and the
unique circular Loop indicator provides a wealth of info in a simple
way. Via the indicator's 24 multi-colored LEDs, you get instant feedback
on the current operation mode, plus the timing of the current loop. The
BOSS RC-1 Loop Station delivers instant looping gratification with no
hassles.
High-Quality Sound and Battery Power
The
RC-1 Loop Station offers excellent sound quality to keep your tone
intact and has up to 12 full minutes of stereo recording time for
capturing super-long loop jams. The last loop session is stored in
memory even when the power is turned off, so you can pick up right where
you left off at the next practice session or gig. With up to 4.5 hours
of battery operation, the RC-1 is a great looper for street performing,
open-mic nights, and other situations where AC power is not readily
available or you need to setup in a hurry. Of course, the pedal can also
be powered by the industry-standard BOSS PSA-120s power adapter (sold
separately).
Integrates with Mono or Stereo Rigs
Just
like other BOSS compact pedals, the RC-1 fits nicely onto a pedal board
alongside your favorite stomps. It can be used as a mono looper in a
standard setup with a single amp, or in true stereo when chained in more
sophisticated rigs with stereo modulation, delay, and reverb pedals.
Going
beyond guitars and basses, the RC-1's stereo I/O is perfect for synth
players and other musicians that use instruments with stereo outputs.
