BOSS RC-3 Loop Station Pedal, red

I wish I bought this years ago!! I'm having so much fun with this and I don't even know what I'm doing! I'm not that musically inclined but this thing makes me sound like a pro!! I love the drum machine function to add some rhythm to my master pieces. I play some basic cord, add a few licks, do a bass line, add the drums and boom I'm a rock star! I even impressed my 18 and 20 year olds! If you don't have anyone to jam with here's your answer. Great to practice jamming, cord progressions, scales, etc This is the best thing I have purchased since the original iPhone came out. Don't wait any longer and purchase this. It will make your life fun and impress your friends. Really, really easy to use. Just watch a couple of Youtube vids to get the idea and you'll be all set. Rock on!!

This is an incredibly feature packed looper pedal for the money and Boss quality. I bought this because when I would jam alone, I'd find a cool riff or chord progression, but hit a wall trying to flesh out an idea with only two hands and my mortal levels of split coordination. Now when inspiration hits, I can throw together a 3 to 5 layer backing loop in a half hour and save it to rock out any time. It really takes your solo brainstorming sessions to a new level. As far as I can tell, the loop sound reproduction is seamless, so don't worry about poor fidelity. Also, the built-in drum tracks function like a metronome so they can be changed or turned off in your saved loops. The only downside I've had with the RC-3 is that the controls can feel clumsy because record, undo, stop, and erase are all routed through the one foot switch. The additional accessory pedal is an absolute must-have if you intend to gig with the looper. 100% recommend this pedal whether you're a casual player looking to experiment or a studio pro looking for a new tool at a good price.

This is the coolest pedal ever. The pre-loaded drum beats with the tap tempo and easy recording are just the coolest parts, and only the tip of the iceberg. 99 slots to save stuff in. 90 minutes of stuff to save. You can just record every second of playing and save it if it's good, if not it clears automatically when you change slots. So simple yet so powerful. This should have been my first pedal..

I play lead guitar and this has been a great tool to help me practice when I can't play with my band. I just loop the rythm portion of a song and then practice my part on top of it. My bassist and I spent an evening layering different sounds and came up with some really cool beats. The downside is really an upside in that there is A LOT you can do with this, so its a little overwhelming trying to learn how to use everything properly. It took a lot of trial and error before I figured out how to get my timing down so my loops were seamless and learning how long you should play for. All in all, I'm very pleased with this product.

The RC-3 is great for practicing, songwriting, and even performing live. It has a ton of features packed into a small space for those that require it. It allows up to 3 hours of recording time that can be stored in up to 99 different save slots. It also contains 10 basic drum beats to add to your own recordings and it is USB 2.0 compatible which allows you to upload pre recorded tracks. The most noticeable feature is the three-hour recording memory. It’s a huge step up from the RC-2 which only allowed up to 16 minutes of recording time. This means you can record up to 3 hours of material and save it to 99 different slots. You can also upload tracks directly from your computer to the pedal by connecting the two via USB. The RC-3 also comes with 10 preset drum beats that can come in handy when you want to create your own backing track. The 10 rhythms come in a variety of styles such as Pop, Rock, Funk, Shuffle, and Latin. Although the pedal does not allow you to set the tempo incrementally like many reviews state, it does have a “tap tempo” feature that enables you to tap out the tempo you want your track to follow. Another great feature is the separate volume knobs. One is dedicated to the volume of the rhythm, the other is for the volume of the current loop. In conclusion, This is a great pedal for the money and extremely efficient when it comes to saving space on your pedal board. If your looking for something easy to use and compact that can add a whole new dynamic to practicing, recording, or playing live, then this is the pedal for you.

This thing is awesome. It added a member to my band. I got accustomed to it within a week and immediately improved my solo skills on guitar. I found that I already want more features/capabilities which come into play with their next models up. The 2 and 4 pedal loop stations. I'm gonna need one of those soon. It gets kind of repetitive only being able to loop the same exact riff over and over again, so you gotta get a little creative. Will probably upgrade soon now that I am more familiar with the loop pedals. Really great option for beginners like me though! Highly recommend.

really great as a practice tool; easy to use, very cool, very sturdy (it ought to be for almost 2 bills, eh?). I really am enjoying this and find it to be almost as useful as my Fender GDEC amp (almost, but not as fun). By the way, it cost more than my GDEC but is more limited with only 9 beat patterns. It is a good tool for forcing more creativity, if that's what you are looking for. It's built much sturdier on the other hand when comparing to a GDEC and is much more compact and portable. get the power supply adapter cord, you'll save money in the long run.

The capabilities of this device are amazing. You can record segments of music that keep repeating and I need that since I am taking lessons. It allows you to record 99 different routines, and then you can also add/change rhythms, and you can put in different drum accompaniments. Extremely useful for practicing by yourself. I know it can do more too, but I just got it and need to learn how to use it. I love it!

Ausführung in gewohnt hoher Boss-Qualität, Guter Klang, rauscht kaum und ist sehr vielseitig. Sehr praktisch ist der eingebaute Drumcomputer. Eine klasse Hilfe zu Timing üben oder einfach herumexperimentieren! Geiles Teil, Boss eben...!

très bien , conjugue les aspects utile et pratique avec celui de la pédagogie car le miroir sonore que permet cette pédale est redoutable !! comme en studio ,on recommence jusque cela soit parfait ,quand on s'enregistre un accompagnement par exemple . Ensuite la mémoire permet de faire un répertoire entier etc etc .donc on s'en sert en looper et puis en accompagnement ,. Permet de jouer seul facilement en concert quand cela se présente en ayant une excellente qualité sonore et un matériel petit et léger a transporter . .je recommande à tous les musicien .

Premessa: non sono un esperto nel campo, quindi pesate bene la mia recensione. Suono da solo da tanti anni, mai però in un gruppo. La mia dotazione comprende un paio di chitarre elettriche che non superano le 500 euro cad.uno e qualche chitarra acustica/classica. 3-4 pedali boss tra cui distorsore ed overdrive. E' un pedale fantastico, mi dispiace non averlo comprato 10 anni fa. Non serve imparare ad usarlo, basta avere il ritmo nel sangue o nella testa e viene via da solo. Ti registri la base, ti registri le varie parti e poi ti diversi con le scale e gli assoli, senza mai fermarsi. Funzionalità a parte è un boss, quindi un blocco di metallo semi indistruttibile. Cromato che nemmeno una macchina sportiva. Vale ogni centesimo speso.

Excellent practice tool!! Make sure you read the manual. Loads of cool features.

Es una maravilla, si lo van a comprar consideren que no viene con transformador, aún así es un gran dispositivo. Me llegó antes de lo previsto y en perfectas condiciones. Funciona genial y para el precio que tiene, brinda bastantes funciones.
