Boss RC-1 Loop Station Guitar Effects Pedal

The RC-1 Loop Station is our most straightforward and intuitive looper pedal. Its compact form and minimalist layout provide all the essential looper functions—record, playback, overdub, and undo/redo—encouraging instant creativity right out of the box. The simple design, informative display, and generous recording time allow players of all skill levels to loop without distraction, making it an indispensable companion for practicing, writing, and performing.

The compact and rugged RC-1 is ideal for all types of musicians, from guitarists and bassists to keyboardists, electronic wind players, and more. The user-friendly design keeps you focused on creativity, allowing you to explore ideas and experiment without being inhibited by technical hurdles. Thanks to 12 minutes of stereo recording time, you can loop freely and capture everything from short grooves to long jams and Improvisation.

The RC-1’s easy-to-read multicolor LED provides a wealth of information in a small space. It lights up brightly during recording, playback, and overdubbing, so your loop status is always clear. A circular indicator moves during operation, either in a continuous rotation to represent the entire loop length or a faster rotation that reflects subdivisions. This elegant display also serves as a handy visual aid to confirm stop, erase, and undo/redo actions, meaning you know exactly what’s going on every step of the way.

This flexible Loop Station pedal flows with every setup, offering ease and versatility whenever inspiration strikes. Go basic with a regular mono instrument and amp. Or connect stereo instruments, effects, and amps to experience a rich, wide sound field. With the clever multifunction pedal switch, you can operate every looping feature on the RC-1. But if you crave more direct control, plug in up to two optional BOSS footswitches for on-demand access to stop and other core functions.
