Boss has introduced the RC-1, a new looper that they describe as “our simplest and most user-friendly Loop Station ever”.
Features:
- Straightforward and easy to operate
- Newly designed loop indicator displays the current loop mode (Rec/Overdub/Play)
- Runs on a single 9-volt alkaline battery (approximately 4.5 hours of battery life)
- Can be used with an optional AC adaptor (PSA series: sold separately)
- 12 minutes of stereo recording time
- Stereo inputs and outputs
- Flexible external footswitch options
- Recorded phrase is retained in memory even after the RC-1 is turned off
Here’s the official demo video for the Boss RC-1 Loop Station:
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.
Official pricing and availability for the Boss RC-1 Loop Station are still to be announced.
Hmm seems pretty nice. As long it isn’t expensive, it seem something lots of folks would want.
Giving TC Electronic a run for their money. Good for us!
Musician in demo video is terribly disgusting. The sounds he makes are like sandpaper on my eardrums.
While the video wasn’t bad, it really only showed me one side of this pedal. I feel like there’s gotta be more to it than a basic looping pedal. Or maybe there’s not, which would tell any hardcore looper to stay away.
