Don't let the numerous pedals and buttons confuse you. From our experience, the use of the Loop Station was easier than we first expected and also very intuitive. You can start, overdub and stop recordings with just one keystroke. However, because of the big amount of effects and parameters that can be set and adjusted internally, it takes a little practice to find the menu you are looking for. In preparation, we had to study the manual - but after a few weeks of using the device, we knew exactly how to work with it. In addition to recording your instrument performances and turning them into playable loops, you can record other external stereo audio sources via the AUX IN. Sounds from a digital-audio player or other device connected to the AUX input can easily be recorded and added to your loop performance. Nominal Input Level INPUT MIC: -50 dBu (variable)

These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.

With that in mind BOSS decided to release the phenomenal BOSS RC300 Loop Station Guitar Pedal - the most powerful loop station ever brought to the market! A Triple-Stereo Mega Looper! Similar to other effect devices, the expression pedal can be used to seamlessly add filter effects such as distortion, delay and modulation effects guaranteeing a lot of fun when playing with different instruments and vocals and creating space for creativity. Conclusion

RC-5

It's a complicated piece of kit but easy enough to get started on but has layers of complexity under the surface which may take a while to master to get the maximum out of it.

AC Adaptor (PSA series: sold separately) Current Draw Maximum 195 mA (DC 9 V) Expected battery life under continuous use Alkaline battery (AA, LR6): Approx. 7.5 hoursFans of BOSS’s world-famous effects will be pleased to find a lineup of creative effects onboard the RC-30. Bend Down provides a dramatic pitch-bend effect. Step Phaser changes phase in incremental steps. Sweep Filter alters frequency in sync with the current tempo. Tempo Delay produces a tempo-synced delay effect. Lo-Fi intentionally degrades the sound to create a distinctive character. Dunk your loops in cool effects without the cost and hassle of adding external gear. Mic Input Once you’ve started to work on your loops, a plethora of BOSS effects can then be added, including transposing options, modulation, bass emulation for guitarists and phaser. Those players who are only just starting to work with loops will be relieved to find a legendary quantise feature, which means that your loops and overdubs will always sound perfectly in time when you drop them in and out. b) The OSS, etc. in the case of the preceding paragraph shall be subject to the OSS, etc. license (herein referred to as "OSS License"), and you shall comply with the OSS License.
