BOSSRC-1 Loop Station Pedal | Industry Standard Simple Looper for Guitar, Bass, Keyboards & More | 24-Segment LED Indicator | 12 Minutes of Record Time | Record, Playback, Overdub, Undo & Redo Loops

Absolutely brilliant! Wish I had bought one a long time ago... Do not be put off by suggestions that it is difficult to use - it is not. The additional functions available over lesser loopers will take a little longer to learn, but you will be using it like a pro in no time! For the functions that it offers it is great value for money. It comes with its own (excellent) power supply. The built in rhythm is a standout feature of this looper. Each track that you produce has two rhythm parts available in addition to fill ins, intro's and outro's. You can also combine two (or more) track(s) together by using an additional foot switch (not supplied) to get even more rhythm variety. Sound quality is excellent. Build quality is excellent.Highly recommended -You won't be disappointed if you go for it!

Excellent pedal. The durm sounds are great, the looping functions work well. Great value for money, a must buy for solo musicians!

My first Boss out of many pedal purchases. I have to say what people say about the build quality rings true, it's solid and really well put together. This is also my first experience of the Boss style large springy footswitch, and I'm wondering why more companies don't adapt it - you can't miss!This is chiefly going to be used for laying down some 12 bar rhythm to practice licks over. Have had a quick go and it handles this with aplomb, recreating the sound at excellent quality. With the volume knob at 12 o'clock I did have to step on a Tubescreamer once I'd recorded the rhythm as the loop volume was quite loud. So maybe turn it down for these purposes or use your guitar volume knob on a quieter setting for the rhythm.I have also tried a couple of overdubs and these were easy to achieve and reproduced well.One thing (for the way I will use it) is the default order for pedal presses isn't ideal, although there is a fix which is in the instructions, which changes the order to record, playback, dub. Otherwise your first press is to record another layer. Just bear this in mind if you watch Youtube demos and don't like the double tap to stop function, you can change it out.The LED wheel has good visibility and works with a visual 'countdown' to give a further aid to synchronising your playing, should you need it.This comes equipped with a battery. I'm powering it through a Voodoo Labs PP2, it is a normal 9v connection but the current draw is 85 Ma which means it'll need it's own connection on similar supplies (dedicated daisy chains are different). I couldn't find this info in the instructions.One last tip for anyone new to this, if you are putting blues rhythm down for example then start playing during the turnaround bars of the 'previous' section, kicking record on beat one of your I chord after that. This will result in a natural feeling loop, starting on beat one bar one can cause problems.Strongly recommended. Once you get a few licks under your belt I can't think of a better practice tool.

Fantastic features. Relatively easy to use. However, extremely vulnerable to spillage when gigging. This is now my 2nd unit. So many points of entry for liquid. Otherwise, a 5 star review.

I can't believe that they can make this for the money. Excellent piece of gear. A bit of a learning curve but that's because it's so versatile. The 5 pin DIN Midi in & out allowing direct connections to outboard equipment makes it perfect. Excellent service from the supplier. 10/10

This is a belter of a pedal, very simple to use the rotating lights showing the loop running is a really great idea extremely easy to see, takes away a lot of guessing. i would recommend using the extension pedal to make the double, long presses etc simple to operate. I did not buy the boss one but a British pedal maker called 'bright onions' they make a micro double switch pedal that does the job for £24, excellent and really small, together they are formidable. I do also have a electro harmonix 4 track looper but it is very complicated, reverse sample, slow sample, but i never use the effects and this boss pedal has the same quality of sound. if you want to run one or two sample this is great and more and it gets more complicated in scrolling back and forth to start and stop samples etc.Being stereo is a bonus very good if you use two amps or a stereo set up obviously but equally as useful if you just want to run mono again this is obvious.The only negative to me is the big switch which is part of the Boss design hence buying the bright onions pedal was a no brainer as you get the normal button type switch which always feels more solid and immediate to me, that's just me though may be others will prefer the boss switch.There is the electro harmonix 720 which is approx £118 compared to this at £85, both are stereo and the EH does has a loop selector switch where you can load up 10 samples from a computer for example, and half speed but no use for me as mentioned earlier I needed a simple practice pedal to noodle over, and when live for an acoustic set both of these needs are done with this pedal.
