  • The Boss RC-1 is a great first pedal for beginners - looping opens up a ton of possibilities and the LED indicator makes this pedal in particular a breeze to use. In this video I go over the pedal's features, and give you a demo.

    Fantastic video! Insightful and I had the same thought process deciding which looper to buy, the Boss is worth the hype! I do like the RC-3/5 but for live looping 90% of the time and using my phone screen to play drum tracks instead of the tiny ones on the RC 3/5, it seems the RC-1 is king. There is a beauty in it's relatively simple form factor and can do so much already with it. Happy gear hunting! :)

    Good review. I just got one of these, but I’ve had a first generation Ditto for about ten years. I don’t need or want a more complicated pedal than this, because it overtakes your playing when you have to be thinking about what your foot is doing. Anyway, your explanation is good and I found the video useful. Thanks for posting.

    I have about 6 Loop pedals the RC1 and 5 and the Dito are the best quality and are the 3 i would recommend. Every beginner should have some sort of Looper, i wish they were around when i took to learning. Best Digital Guitar inovation there is.

      Yeah, kind of agree. I just got an RC 1, after having used an Ammoon mini looper for the last 4 years. Should have just gotten this initially. My old looper was like $35 new and works fine still but I want the bigger, easier to hit boss style footswitch and the LED indicator.

    • @nish_ttp

      Nope, it just means that when the pedal loses power and regains it, the recording will still be there.

  • @benz3644
    @benz3644 2 года назад

    Why does it have two inputs and two outputs? If I record a loop and I have the looper going to two amplifiers will the recorded loop only play through one of the amps, either output A or B, as I play on top of the loop through the other amp simultaneously?

    • @nish_ttp
      @nish_ttp  2 года назад

      The multiple outputs is in order to output as stereo, which could theoretically go to two different amps or the same amp. But if you just use one output it is mono.
      Same thing for the inputs!

    I have a problem/question; so when I´m doing a layer it starts playing when the original recording finishes. what if I want to layer something that is longer than the first recording? when I just speak and speak (using it with a mic but it really doesn't matter) it all gets doubled and doubled ... help!

      John is correct. A dual track looper can give you this functionality, check out my review of the RC500 here

  • @agustinbrum8364
    @agustinbrum8364 Год назад +1

    If you use other effects, does it affect all layers recorded? or does is jsut affect the one layer u used that pedal. For instance if i record a clean guitar and then do some soloing with distortion, will the distortion affect both layers or just the one intended to? thx

    • @nish_ttp
      @nish_ttp  Год назад

      So this will depend where you have the pedal. If you go guitar --> pedal -> amp, then changing the amp will affect all of the loops.
      However if you have an effects loop on your amp, you should ideally go guitar -> amp -> (via effects loop) looper -> amp
      If you check out this video I use a slightly more advanced loop pedal with an fx pedal , in this case you can go guitar -> fx -> looper -> amp (which never gets changed) ruclips.net/video/kT2l-jXjpgI/видео.html
