The BOSS RC-1 Loop Station gives musicians the power to effortlessly craft and perform layered musical masterpieces. This compact yet robust looper pedal offers up to 12 minutes of pristine stereo recording time and unlimited overdubbing, allowing artists to explore a kaleidoscope of creative possibilities. With its precision-engineered quality and convenient battery or AC power, the RC-1 Loop Station is the perfect studio and stage companion for instrumentalists and vocalists alike.

Pristine Sound and Simple Operation

Featuring high-performance buffered bypass and stereo inputs and outputs, the RC-1 Loop Station delivers studio-quality tone with zero signal degradation. Its intuitive one-button interface makes capturing loops and overdubs as simple as can be, while the dedicated Undo/Redo function provides flexibility in crafting the perfect loop.

Built to Last

Housed in a durable compact chassis, the RC-1 Loop Station is ready to withstand the rigors of both stage and studio use. Its solid metal construction and footswitches are designed to endure stomping for years to come. Power it with the included AC adapter or a single 9V battery for ultimate portability.

Take Looping Further

For advanced looping functions like loop decay, reverse playback and MIDI sync, pair the RC-1 Loop Station with optional footswitches (BOSS FS-5U, FS-6, or FS-7). With up to 2 auxiliary footswitches, you can expand your creative looping possibilities and control multiple functions right at your feet during a performance.

All-In-One Loop Solution

Compact yet powerful, the RC-1 Loop Station offers an all-in-one looping solution for creating layered soundscapes on the fly. Use it as a songwriting tool, as accompaniment for soloing, or as an integral part of your live rig. However you use it, the RC-1 Loop Station is sure to ignite your creativity and inspire your best musical ideas.
