With the RC-5 you can give your pedalboard maximum looping power. Record in high-quality 32-bit sound quality, navigate through parameters on the backlit LC display, keep an eye on the loop status and benefit from extended control options via external foot switches and TRS MIDI I / O. With more than 50 built-in rhythms, 13 hours of stereo recording, 99 phrase memories and more, the RC-5 puts all the power of music at your feet.
Highest sound quality
With first-class 32-bit AD / DA conversion and 32-bit floating point calculation, the RC-5 captures your individual sound in the highest sound quality and ensures that loops sound clear and transparent even after several overdubs. Thanks to a stereo recording capacity of 13 hours, you have enough space for creative ideas.
The window to your world
The RC-5 offers the most advanced user interface of all Looper compact pedals. The LC display allows you to keep an eye on the loop status at all times while playing. The background lighting changes depending on the status - recording, overdubbing or playback. In combination with the multifunctional parameter controller, you can quickly and easily navigate through the individual rhythms, kits, system settings and more, even in hectic situations.
Comprehensive control
The versatile pedal switch of the RC-5 controls all looping functions: record, overdub, play, stop and undo / redo. If necessary, you can dive deeper into the controls. Connect up to two external foot switches and control various assignable functions. Or you can connect an expression pedal to control parameters continuously. Musicians with more complex setups will love the space-saving TRS MIDI inputs and outputs to control the RC-5 remotely via MIDI switches and MIDI foot controllers and to integrate drum machines and DAWs via MIDI sync.
Dynamic grooves, forwards and backwards
With 57 preset rhythms and seven drum kits, the RC-5 offers a wide range of inspiring grooves in every style. Take your loop sessions and exercises to a new level. Each rhythm has A / B variants that you can control via the control surface or via MIDI. The RC-5 looper engine also includes a cool reverse function that adds new, unused timbres to your music.
Record, practice, perform
The RC-5 has 99 phrase memories. Save loops as quickly as you created them. In addition to the audio data, a phrase memory also contains the selected rhythm and kit. Everything is already there when you call up the storage space. Audio loops can be transferred to a computer via USB. Thanks to the possibility of importing WAV files via the BOSS Tone Studio, the RC-5 becomes a pedalboard playback center for teaching material, jam tracks or backing music at your next gig.
