A Looper's Dream Machine!
The Boss RC-50 ends the wait for the ultimate looper! It is, without question, the most feature-laden RC Loop Station Boss has built to date. With up to 49 minutes mono recording time and the capability to simultaneously manipulate three stereo phrases, the RC-50 will put you in loop heaven in no time. Each of the three tracks supports multiple overdubs, so phrases can be stacked one by one on each track, resulting in a monstrous layer of looped phrases - it's all inside the Boss RC-50!

BOSS RC-50 Loop Station at a Glance:
  • Create perfectly synced loops live
  • Lock up to your MIDI sequences
  • Rhythm Guide with real sampled drums
  • Includes mic input and USB for importing WAV files

Create perfectly synced loops live
Ready to blow your audience away? With a single RC-50, a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, or vocalist can create a perfectly synced wall of sound live onstage. There are three simultaneous stereo phrase channels on the RC-50, each with a dedicated footswitch. Each channel can contain dozens of loops/phrases that you stack one by one, so you can imagine how massive your arrangements or solos can become!

Lock up to your MIDI sequences
The RC-50 speaks sync. For bands that incorporate digital audio tracks, sequences, drum machines, and/or video elements into their live gigs, sync is not a luxury - it's a necessity. For scenarios such as these, the RC-50 can be locked to an external MIDI clock source, ensuring that its loop performances are absolutely locked to the rest of the show. Internally, the RC-50 offers Loop Quantize for easy loop recording, plus Loop Sync (which enables all phrases to start in sync), and Tempo Sync (which matches the tempo of multiple phrases during playback).

Rhythm Guide with real sampled drums
To make recording as fun and inspiring as possible, the RC-50 provides a total of 379 play-along Rhythm Guide Patterns using real sampled drums in a wide variety of time signatures. Why record to a stale click track when you can jam with rockin' grooves instead?

Includes mic input and USB for importing WAV files
The RC-50's rear panel is well stocked with connectors, offering a variety of inputs (stereo Inst ins, XLR input with 48V phantom power, mini-jack aux), outputs (1/4" stereo, 1/4" sub stereo outs, headphone out), and USB for importing WAV files from computers. MIDI in and out jacks are provided, as are 1/4" TRS inputs for accommodating an optional Expression pedal and footswitches; up to four footswitches can be used simultaneously.

BOSS RC-50 Loop Station Features:
  • 7 footswitches for intuitive control; real-time control of playback speed
  • Play up to 3 stereo phrase tracks simultaneously, all synced to an internal or MIDI clock
  • Ultra-long recording time (up to 49 min., mono), 99 patches (3 master loops per patch)
  • Stereo input, dual stereo output, XLR phantom-powered mic input, stereo mini-jack Aux input (for recording from an MP3 players, etc.)
  • USB port for data/audio backup, import/export of loops as WAV files

The BOSS RC-50 Loop Station will put you in loop heaven!

 Awesome pedal  
by cincy_cosmo from Cincinnati Ohio, February 03, 2009
Music Background:  Hobbyist, church guitar player


“This pedal does exactly what I wanted it to do. Great sound quality, rhythem guide does what I want it to do. Some people complain about not being able to midi sync it, but the trick is to make the RC-50 the midi clock MASTER, not receiving but issuing clock information, not a slave. It makes absolute since to me that if it receives clock information it will start trying to stretch the phrase,...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "You will have the ability to build, on the fly, an entire song with multiple guitar parts. Add a synth, add vocals, add the acoustic track. You are only limited by your ability to think of another part to add. The RC-50 allows the solo performer to show what they really have to offer the world, and will set you apart from your fellow performers. If you are into looping, this is the ultimate tool for you."
Brian Cravens
