The Boss RC-5 Loop Station Pedal delivers an entire backing band, a massive memory bank, and pristine audio quality in a standard stompbox chassis. This pedal preserves the warmth of your natural tone with digital precision, turning spontaneous ideas to full on compositions.
Pristine Audio, Endless Space
Nothing ruins a brilliant overdub like muddy, degraded audio. The RC-5 captures every nuance of your playing with breathtaking clarity, ensuring that your hundredth overdub sounds just as crisp as your first. It's like having a pristine studio recorder right at your toes.
32-Bit Processing: Best-in-class 32-bit AD/DA and floating-point processing keep your loops crystal clear, preserving the natural dynamics of your instrument.
13 Hours of Recording Time: With a cavernous 13 hours of stereo recording capacity, you have more than enough room to let your imagination run completely wild.
99 Phrase Memories: Save your sudden strokes of genius instantly. Store loops, rhythms, and kits together so they’re locked, loaded, and ready to launch at your next gig.
Deep Control, Dark Stages
Navigating a looper shouldn’t require a magnifying glass or an engineering degree. The RC-5 provides vital visual feedback so you always know exactly where you are in the groove, while offering expansive control options for players who want to push boundaries.
Multi-Color LCD Backlight: Keep a keen eye on your loop status. The bright screen changes color to indicate recording, overdubbing, and playback, making it foolproof on dimly lit stages.
Expanded Foot Control: Need more tapping real estate? Plug in up to two external footswitches or an expression pedal to control assignable functions without missing a beat.
TRS MIDI I/O: Sync seamlessly with drum machines, DAWs, and MIDI switchers using the space-saving mini TRS jacks, perfectly integrating into complex pedalboard ecosystems.
Move, Groove, and Reverse
Playing solo doesn't have to be a party of one. The RC-5 puts a rhythm section at your feet, offering 57 inspiring grooves to back your riffs. And when you want to flip the script, just hit reverse.
57 Rhythms & 7 Drum Kits: From swinging jazz to driving rock, find the perfect pocket with high-quality, built-in drum grooves.
A/B Variations: Easily shift dynamics during a performance. Toggle between rhythm variations to separate your laid-back verses from your explosive choruses.
Trippy Reverse Function: Infuse your music with fresh, psychedelic sonic colors by instantly playing your recorded loops backward.
The Final Frontier for Your Feet
The Boss RC-5 Loop Station proves that massive musical muscle doesn't require a massive footprint. It captures the soul of your playing while offering the brainpower of a supercomputer. For players who want to explore the outer limits of live looping, practice with precision, or simply jam with a flawless virtual drummer, this pedal delivers unparalleled performance in a gloriously compact package.
