Boss RC-300 Loop Station Guitar Pedal Features
  • Three stereo tracks with dedicated footswitches and controls for each
  • Dedicated fader per track
  • Expression pedal for effects control in real time
  • Up to three hours of internal recording and 99 onboard memories
  • 16 onboard effects optimized for looping
  • XLR Microphone input with phantom power
  • USB storage; import/export WAV files
Triple Stereo Loops
Create, stack, and manipulate multi-layered loops with the RC-300's three stereo tracks - each track being independently controllable. The ‘Auto Recording’ feature starts recording the moment you begin playing your instrument, or as soon as you start a connected audio player. Count-In mode gives you one-bar of rhythm before recording starts. You can Undo/Redo as you go.

Expanded Pedalboard
The RC-300 looper’s ultra-wide pedalboard is equipped with an Expression pedal, which can be assigned to a variety of parameters, and enlarged footswitches for controlling REC/PLAY and STOP for each track. There's also a master ALL START/STOP footswitch onboard. Additionally, three independent faders provide immediate control of each track's output volume. And if that's not enough control under your hands and feet, you can also connect external Expression pedals and footswitches (sold separately).

Onboard FX
Process your tracks and external-input signals with the RC-300's expressive onboard effects, including Transpose, Flanger, Phaser, Modulator, vocal effects, and more. A dedicated LOOP FX footswitch is provided for instant activation of the onboard effects. Control the effects parameters in real time with the Expression pedal for hands-free creativity onstage. You can apply the effects to any single track as well as to the entire mix, expanding your creativity and musical expression.

Rhythm Guide and Preloaded Audio
To keep your loops tight and in time, you can play along with one of the cool rhythm patterns in the Boss RC-300's onboard library as you record; the Loop Quantize feature helps you having your recordings looped in time. Dozens of rhythm types are onboard, including rock, pop, shuffle, Latin, and more. A dedicated knob lets you adjust the volume of the rhythm, and you can set the tempo incrementally or via tap tempo.

You can also specify the time signature. When you save a phrase, the rhythm type and time signature will also be saved. To get you up and running right away, the RC-300 comes preloaded with audio backing tracks (including bass tracks, piano tracks, etc.) for instant play-along performance and fun.

USB Connectivity
Connect the Boss RC-300 looper to your computer via a standard USB cable, and back up your phrases externally for safekeeping. You can import and export WAV files between your computer and the RC-300; 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV files of up to 1.7GB in size can be imported.

AUX Input
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.

A POWERFUL TOOL FOR DEVELOPING CHOPS

Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
I own several items made by BOSS and have had an excellent experience with them as an owner.

How has it stood up over time?
I have only had this one month, but I have a BOSS GT-3 that still kicks butt after 12+ years,

Your general opinion of this product.
The BOSS RC300 is one of the best tools I have ever owned. It was not as hard as I thought it would be to get it up and running. Every time I use it I learn more about the unit and develop skills musically. I have made recordings and loops of a quality that I would never have thought that I would be able to do just sitting in my house or live.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?

Much improved over the RC-50. Probably the best looper out there but pricey.

Your general opinion of this product.
I used to own (and sold six months later) an RC-50. The loop playback delay and pedal arrangement was irritating to me. I was surprised with the RC-300 enhanced usability with the new pedal arrangement as well as the recording quality. Although the same bit rate as the previous model, the way the loop playback isn't delayed like the old model is a big relief. The pedal arrangement with a pair for each track is also welcome and much more natural.

The new pedal arrangement is different than the RC-50 and that's a good thing in that, out of the box, you're not having to do multiple pedal taps to perform a single function. The rec/dub/play pedal sequence is configurable. Add a some external pedals and/or a midi controller if you have multiple special functions. The addition of an expression pedal is more useful than I thought and using MIDI I can use any of it to send control messages back to any of my other units. For me, I now have some extra control and expression options with my GT-10.
