The Boss RC-1 is a well-laid out, easy-to-use looper pedal with 12 minutes of stereo recording time. It’s a single footswitch pedal that, with a various number of stomps, can do a lot, though you do have the option of plugging in an external footswitch for further functionality. It’s compact and durable, so you can throw this in your gig bag and you’re ready to go.
It has an onboard circular LED light display that helpfully shows you whereabouts in your loop you are, as well as whether you’re in record, overdub or playback mode. Stereo inputs and outputs mean you can use this alongside stereo effects pedals or with synths, keyboards and other stereo instruments.
