BossRC-505 mkII 5 Track Loop Station Pedal

Boss RC-505 mkII

The Boss RC-505 mkII is the most powerful RC series loop station pedal to date. It boasts five loop tracks, each with level faders and separate record, play, dub buttons, and effects. Like its RC brethren, the RC-505 mkII contains an array of effects, including reverb, delay, and more modern conveniences such as beat slicing. Rounding out this already robust feature set are a total of 99 phrase memory slots, 85 rhythm patterns, and a variety of connection options—all of which make it ideal for a variety of divergent applications and musical styles. Updated long-throw faders and Mark Back function makes fine tuning your loops precise and easy whether in the studio or live. Customize every detail with added configurable controls and map up to 16 different parameters over MIDI. An updated larger display and inputs and outs puts make the RC-500 mkII an indispensable centerpiece to any loop-based practice.
