Boss RC-500 Loop Station Looper Pedal

Perhaps their most powerful loop station yet, the Boss RC-500 promises to be a capable companion for any musician that builds compositions with loops. Inside are top-of-the-line 32-bit convertors, ensuring premium sound quality whether the RC-500 is being used as a studio tool or part of a live rig. The looping engine itself allows for a whopping 13 hours of stereo recording time, thus ensuring there's plenty of space for tracks and compositions on board. RC-500 also offers generous inputs and outputs, with two inputs and outputs each for instruments, as well as an additional microphone input. These inputs can be freely configured as needed, allowing for dedicated outputs for guitar and vocals, send and return effect processing, and more. And with an input for external footswitches or expression pedals, as well as TRS MIDI I/O, RC-500 is immediately open to all kinds of control methods. Tracks and sessions can be backed up to a computer via USB, or pre-configured loops and backing tracks may be uploaded onto the RC-500. With all of this and more, the RC-500 sets the new standard for creative looping devices.
