The BOSS RC-1 is the simplest and most user - friendly loop station we've ever had, and it's a blast! Since the launch of the RC - 20 Loop Station in 2001, BOSS has been at the forefront of loop product innovation. While many looping artists and performers have used and loved BOSS's loopers, the company still sought an easier and more affordable option. The RC - 1 is a no - fuss looper that's a breeze to operate. With this compact BOSS stompbox, you can record, playback, overdub, and undo or redo loops and experience the thrill of looping. And it maintains the high - quality performance that musicians worldwide trust. On the top panel, there's a brand - new loop indicator. It's a 24 - segment LED arranged in a circle, letting you quickly figure out the status of Rec/Overdub/Play modes. With up to 12 minutes of stereo recording time, it can capture any long - lasting performance you can come up with. The stereo in/out jacks work with stereo effects, amplifiers, and even stereo instruments like synthesizers. Other handy features include battery and AC power options and flexible external footswitching. The RC - 1 is an ideal companion to start your looping adventure! Features: Straightforward operation, newly designed loop indicator showing current loop mode, runs on a single 9 - volt alkaline battery (about 4.5 hours of battery life), can use an optional AC adaptor (PSA series: sold separately), 12 minutes of stereo recording time, stereo inputs and outputs, flexible external footswitch options, and retains recorded phrases in memory even when turned off.
Using the BOSS RC - 1 is a piece of cake. First, if you're using battery power, insert a single 9 - volt alkaline battery. You can also use an optional AC adaptor if you prefer. Connect your guitar or other stereo instruments to the stereo in/out jacks. Then, start recording your loops by pressing the appropriate buttons. The new loop indicator on the top panel will show you the mode you're in, whether it's recording, overdubbing, or playing. You can record for up to 12 minutes in stereo, so get creative! When you're done recording, you can play back your loops and even add more layers with the overdub function. If you make a mistake, you can undo or redo the loops. Remember, even if you turn off the RC - 1, your recorded phrases will stay in memory. As for maintenance, keep the pedal clean and dry. If you're using the battery, replace it when it runs out to ensure continuous operation. If you're using the AC adaptor, make sure it's properly connected and in good condition.
