BOSS RC-500 Loop Station Dual-Track Stereo Looper Pedal
Build full songs live: two tracks, studio-grade sound, total control
The BOSS RC-500 is the sweet spot for players who have outgrown "one-button looping" and want a serious performance tool that still fits a pedalboard. You get two independent stereo loop tracks, hands-on foot control, onboard rhythms, and premium audio quality so your loops sound like your instrument (not a compromise).
Why musicians choose the RC-500
Two-track stereo looping lets you build verse/chorus parts, stack harmonies, or run different sections with independent control.
Premium sound with 32-bit A/D and D/A plus 32-bit floating-point processing for clarity and headroom.
Huge recording capacity with up to 13 hours total loop time and 99 phrase memories for saving complete setups.
Built-in rhythms to keep your timing tight (with multiple kits and variations for different vibes).
Mic + instrument ready with a dedicated XLR mic input (phantom power available) plus stereo 1/4-inch instrument inputs.
Stage-friendly control with multiple footswitches, assignable functions, and expansion options.
Features that turn into real benefits
Perform like a one-person band
Lay down a rhythm guitar loop on Track 1, add leads or vocals on Track 2, and bring in onboard rhythms to glue everything together. The result is a bigger show without extra players or extra gear.
Make loops exciting, not static
Use Loop FX and reverse to add motion, transitions, and ear-candy on the fly. Great for building energy in a chorus, creating breakdowns, or turning a simple vamp into a moment.
Sync with the rest of your rig
MIDI I/O helps the RC-500 play nicely with drum machines, keyboards, switchers, or a master clock. USB lets you back up loops and import/export WAV audio for practice tracks or show-ready stems.
