I love the display interface on this pedal, it's what sold me on it. Being able to time my loops and record multiple layers or just listen to my loops is so convenient, and being able to record different lengths of loops makes it so dynamic.

I am new to looping. I chose this model for the ease of use. So far it seems to be a good decision. I have not run into some of the issues that other reviewers have mentioned; "Muddy sound," etc Time will tell

ok i started looping with a 20 sec digitech pedal..never had enough time to do anything...fast forward to today..rc1 gives you 13 min...rc2 16 min...rc3 3 hours...i have a rc2 and really like saving 11 phases...i suspect the rc1 is simplier and easier to learn...the rc2 is complicated to learn, but awesome..i noticed the rc1 can be bought new at samash and the rc2 isnt available...i like boss products..built to last.. Being able to save your work is a must...that why the 3 is calling me...99 spots to save.

I'm currently a beginner looper just testing things out with this for fun. So far it has been very simple and easy to use, with a great variety of options for such a small and simple device. Highly recommend for anyone who just wants to try something new with the guitar.

The RC-1 is excellent. Super simple to use, very self-explanatory, small size which makes for easy packing/travel. Boss makes very sturdy pedals as well; my first pedal was a Boss DS-1, I still have it and it works like it did when I bought it. Very reliable.

Sometimes you have a lot of great ideas but no one to play with at that moment in time. The RC-1 loop station is the perfect pedal to have in those moments. Record your rhythm part and then loop it so create a lead part. You get 12 minutes of recording time which is more than enough to get an idea down to show your band.

This is the only looper pedal you will ever need. It's great for learning to solo over a certain progression, learn licks, perform, or just have fun with. Every guitarist has one of these on their pedal board and for a good reason: it works and is reliable. This review is from Ellis at Sam Ash in Richmond, VA.

Let's say you just saw an Ed Sheeran concert and have decided to dabble into the wonderful world of looping without investing a small fortune. Enter the Boss RC-1 Loop Station. You get a sturdy and reliable Boss enclosure, designed for years of use and abuse, plus a simple to use design that makes it easy to come back for more. This is a great tool whether using it live or in the studio for layering sounds or even practicing say you lay down a bass guitar line or rhythm guitar part and then add lead guitar parts over it. It offers stereo I/O so the fun doesn't end with just a guitar you can plug in your favorite synth or keyboard too. With the onboard indicator it's easy to tell what you're doing, a big advantage over some of the other loopers in this price point. Chances are you'll find countless hours of fun in this simple pedal. Who knows maybe it's your gateway drug into the land of looping.

This looper is great for practicing and learning licks! Just play your rhythm into it and it will play it back over and over again so you can craft that perfect solo over top of it. I like to use mine for songwriting as well. I play the song progression into it once and then I can write lyrics without having to play it over and over again!
