Boss Loop Station RC-2
The Boss RC-2 Loop Station not only records, layers, and loops, it also provides a wealth of other handy and powerful features in a pedalboard-friendly stomp box. You get rich looping features like jam-along Rhythm Guide, Auto Start, Tap Tempo, Loop Quantize, and Undo/Redo functions. In traditional Boss fashion, the RC-2 benefits from a clean and friendly user interface. As powerful as this little Loop Station is, it s a dream to operate. The clearly labeled buttons and knobs put everything directly under your fingertips with no hidden menus or commands to impede the creative process. Due to its standard compact-pedal shape and size, the RC-2 fits perfectly alongside other Boss pedals. Great for fast setup and convenient transportation. The RC-2 stomp box can record and store up to 16 mono minutes of audio, either from your own instrument or other external input devices, such as MP3 players/recorders. Each of your layered loop creations can be stored to one of 11 internal patch preset locations.

- this little red box is awesome! i bought this to create loops out of the pedals in my chain, but i think im going to start using it as a sound source as well. it may be pricey, but its the cheapest looper pedal there is, and it gets the job done. fill it with some long loops and some short loops for variety. layer your loops, or just go bare-bones. you can also delete the last overdub you put in by holding down the footswitch in Overdub Record mode. such a super-versatile pedal. i can see how it would be easy to become too reliant on this
- Good Points: + Same thing as the RC-20 but cheaper and with no "Stop" footswitch + 11 spots for loops, 16 minutes of recording/overdub time + Small and compact
- Bad Points: - no XLR input - no stereo out - a little hard to navigate on the fly - you have to press down on the pedal twice once a loop is playing to stop it. to avoid this, hook up a footswitch to the stop/tempo jack. - annoying "Drums" knob that you have to keep at 0 at all times.
- Price Paid: US$180.00
- Purchased At: Guitar Center
