Super Sound Quality
With best-in-class 32-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating-point processing, the RC-5 captures your personal sound faithfully and keeps loops crystal clear: even with multiple overdubs. And with 13 hours of stereo recording time, there's plenty of room for extensive creative explorations
Windows to your world
The RC-5 features the most advanced interface available today in a compact looper pedal. The LCD screen lets you keep an eye on loop status while performing; including backlighting that changes color to indicate recording, overdub and playback status. And combined with the multi-function parameter knob, you can quickly and easily navigate rhythms, kits, system settings and more in the heat of the moment
Move and Groove: Forward and Backward
With 57 preset rhythms and seven different drum kits, the RC-5 is ready to take running and practice sessions to the next level, with inspiring grooves for any style. For each rhythm, A/B variants can be selected from the panel, or controlled via MIDI while performing. The RC-5's looper engine also has a cool reverse function, allowing you to infuse your music with fresh timbres
Record, practice and perform
The RC-5 offers 99 phrase memories, so you can save loops as quickly as you make them. In addition to audio, a phrase memory also contains the selected rhythm and kit, so everything is ready to play when you call up the memory. Loop audio can be backed up to a computer via USB. And with WAV import via BOSS Tone Studio, the RC-5 becomes a pedalboard playback hub for lesson material, jam tracks or background music for your next gig.
