The Boss looper for the demanding musician who wants to get the most out of his/her loop station.

Are you the type of musician who can jam for hours on your own created loops, soundscapes and other musical adventures? Then the Boss RC-500 Loop Station is definitely worth a look. Thanks to the two loop tracks, separate mic & stereo instrument input, built-in rhythm tracks and beautiful loop effects you can compose, create and express on the spot. Insane. The whole thing sounds beautiful thanks to the high-quality 32-bit AD/DA converter, which keeps your loops sounding crystal clear, no matter how many dubs you've recorded. The RC-500 is packed with innovations that allow you to record up to 13 hours in stereo and connect all your instruments simultaneously thanks to the separate microphone and line inputs. So switch easily from guitar to piano, and from vocals to percussion. With the two independent loop tracks you can go in any direction, for example by recording song parts A and B separately and thus integrating them into your live performance. You can also combine the two tracks together to create interesting sounds and textures. And thanks to the intuitive user interface you will be able to get started quite quickly, which is of course very nice if you are in a creative mood. For example, the color of the LCD display changes with the operation mode you are currently in, and separate track faders and a mic level knob give you full control over the different volume levels in complex loop sessions. You can also expand the RC-500 with two external footswitches and an expression pedal for even more functionality. In addition, this loop station is also MIDI compatible. As if all this is not enough, the Boss RC-500 is equipped with 57 preset rhythms and 7 drum sounds as standard and you can play the recorded loops backwards via the Reverse function. Groovy! With the 99 phrase memories, there is plenty of room to store your most beautiful loops and use them during your performances, and you can even save these loops on your computer. Integration with the Boss Tone Studio is also possible. What technology and innovation is packed into this Loop Station from Boss!
