Boss RC-30 Loop Station Effects Pedal - Box Opened

Full Description

Powerful Looper Pedal

The Boss RC-30 allows players to easily create and stack multi-layered loops, delivering incredible soundscapes to jam and perform to. Its auto recording feature starts the pedals recording the moment you start playing, allowing you to focus more on your performance than setting up the next loop. The RC-30 also features a count in mode to offer 1 bar of rhythm before it starts recording, and allows you to undo/redo the loops as you go along. If this wasn’t enough, Boss has kitted the pedal out with their own on-board effects, from a dramatic pitch down effect, step phaser, and sweep filter, to a tempo delay and lo-fi to deliver distinct characters.

Play in Time with the Rhythm Guide

To keep your looks sounding tight and in time, the RC-30 features a selection basic rhythm patterns to play along to. Choose between ten types of different rhythm patterns each designed for a different genre, including rock, pop, funk, shuffle, R&B, and Latin. A dedicated knob offers adjustments to the rhythms volume level, while the tempo can be set via tap tempo or by choosing a specific time signature. When you save your phrase, the set rhythm type and the selected time signature is also saved to ensure a quick and easy recall.

Excellent Connectivity

The Loop Station offers a wide range of powerful features to keep up with the modern musician, and its selection of in/outs enhances its capabilities. An XLR input with phantom power allows players to connect any microphone to the RC-30, letting them loop their vocals to create incredible sounds. Players can also use the microphone to record any sound they hear, offering excellent creative freedom. An aux input allows players to use sounds from digital audio players and other devices, while the USB port lets players save their phrases onto their computers.
