Advanced Two-Track Looping for Creative Performance
The Boss RC-500 Loop Station is a powerful two-track looper designed for musicians who want deeper control, higher sound quality, and flexible live performance options. With dual loop tracks, onboard mixing, and independent control, it’s ideal for guitarists, singer-songwriters, and multi-instrumentalists building layered arrangements in real time.
Studio-grade 32-bit AD/DA and 32-bit floating-point processing ensure pristine audio, even after multiple overdubs, while up to 13 hours of stereo recording time provides ample room for extended sessions. The RC-500 features stereo instrument inputs, a dedicated XLR mic input with phantom power, built-in rhythms, and expressive Loop FX including repeat, scatter, shift, vinyl flick, and reverse.
Three onboard footswitches, colour-changing LCD feedback, MIDI support, USB backup, and extensive external control options make the RC-500 equally at home on stage, in the studio, or as a practice and composition tool. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this is the go-to looper for players who want professional control, clarity, and creative freedom in a compact pedal.
