Simple fix for tap tempo issue is setting SYSTEM/RHYTM TEMPO = FIXED - then selected tap tempo stays. Also check out PARALLEL mode too - you can lay down short loop - letsay you lay down funk groove with bass (from octave pedal) on TRK1 - step and hold RHYTHM and press LOOP - that switches to TRK2 - TRK1 is still playing. Now you can play some progression that is several times longer than TRK1 - and you get TRK1 looped to fit the length of TRK2. This is really poorely described in manual and almost nowhere on YT.
I think the problem you are having with the external footswitch is that you need to use a TRS cable for both switches to be recognised. Using a standard TR cable means only one of the buttons is recognised.
Instead of using a TRS footswitch, you can use a MIDI footswitch, then you have access to many parameters. For example something like the airstep can send any MIDI CC to control track 1 or 2 start, stop, clear and you could use a MIDI controller with knobs to control loop levels from a table/desk. I think they didn’t include clear function, which is a bummer…
The thing about this pedal that interests me the most is that it has outro fills from what I hear. Endings. Which is great because how do you end a song with a looper? Fade outs but I hate fade outs. It's so overdone. On the other hand, these drums sound very polished, very professional and that might be a little artificial sounding. I'm going to want to do a few songs live and if it's a straight pattern, I imagine people would think "Oh, he's got a thing that sounds like drums.". But with this, it seems like I'm using someone else's stuff. Like canned music, y'know? I don't want to sound like I'm using canned music. Maybe I'll buy a programmable drum machine. Or a computer. That seems a bit much though. I'm not sure what to do.
I just bought One two weeks ago but unfortunatly it lacks of some variety of genres like jazz ballads and specially country ballads. Thx for the vídeo.
For what miss the most is a precount and an autamatic start as i play and be able to listen the battery before i start to play as in the RC3 they are stupide to not put this inside
i hate this part. why is it that when you power up this unit why does it always always say conecting instead of just going directly to the loop rhythm section. i have to unplug it then plug it back in..
Great demo. I’m on the fence on this. I did order one but backed out because of the negative things I heard. I’ve been using an RC-3 since 2016 but the rhythms are pretty limited.
Go ahead and dive in. An expression pedal or midi pedal will make life easier, but you can get away with not having those. They ironed out all the bugs and in settings you can turn of intros and outros. Upload, or load programmed patches to mass storage. It has hi/lo EQ. I've only had mine a few day and looked over the firmware change logs. All good! Some prefer the RC-500 and just announced is the 600 model. But 200 is a great pedal, no regrets.
My main interest at the moment is to get a good range of pre-set drum beats for which I can set the bpm. The looping is a new thing for me but I look forward to playing with that. I make simple recordings using the Zoom Q2n video recorder so record loud, live and crude (un-mixed), so very amateur. But here's the thing, I use a Roland Cube RX for guitar and the pre-set drum rhythmns (using an FS6 footswitch) are limited but more importantly, setting the bpm by tapping is a pain, especially when you have to do it every time you turn on. Would the RC-10r do the job and will there be a good selection of drums beats ?

Morning! Can I use de external footswitch to chance the banks, the memories?
Very informative! I have the same Ampero switch but when I connect it to the RC-10r and assign any action to the buttons, the device goes nuts. I don't know exactly what it does but it clears my recorded loop. then the red circle starts to rotate but with spaces in between. very confusing. Any idea?

Im planning use Behringer FCB1010 for controlling. Do you think that will work? (before I'll buy cable)
Your guitar playing is really beautiful. The vibrato could be a tad slower, but like Robben Ford said, your vibrato is your sound, so it's a matter of taste. What comes to the RC-10R pedal, it's spot on! If you compare it to the newer and simpler RC-5, many of the problems have been fixed in the newer models. Btw, you don't necessarily have to use a Boss power supply - it just has to provide good, clean regulated 9V power. I guess one of the reasons Boss/Roland put the "our power only" sticker is because they've got so much bad experience from people using low-quality power supplies.
Really interesting gadget there but I'm not at the level of guitar playing where I could use something like this. This particular pedal seems pretty difficult to operate, good video and information but I liked your "Lighting" video better.😄
Haha it was more fun to make too. I was struggling with this pedal for awhile but it’s pretty fun once you get the hang of it. I made myself use the looper for the lights video so I would figure it out!
@@KRAZEEIZATION Thanks for the helpful advice but I'm really in the beginners stage of learning guitar and using a looping pedal is way out of my league right now, I have a long way too go before reaching that stage.

Thanks man. I just bought this today. I'll give it a whirl. Perhaps they will offer a software update sometime.
I powered my boss RC 10 with my voodoo labs power +2 and didn’t have any problems.

Could you please go through step by step on how to sink drums with a loop. Thank you
That was a great review, thanks!
i hate this part.
why is it that when you power up this unit
why does it always always say conecting
instead of just going directly to the loop rhythm
section. i have to unplug it then plug it back in..
Thank you sir! great video!!! I just bought this device, and you hlped me understand what it excels at.
Glad to help!
Скажите, пожалуйста, а настроить звук ударных по частотам можно в этом устройстве?

I agree, I had the RC-3 for ages, I really loved it, apart from the rhythms were limited.

How long can you record on the boss "RC 10" before i loop?
Good review mate. Very helpful.
The clear all function is not on the Boss RC-10R but on the audience listening. They will be gone after all that noise trying to clear the loops😂.

Great video . Just got one .just a query ,do we need to connect with stereo or mono cable to and from the looper? Thank u
Cool video! More please 🤓🎸
Is the tap temp still screwed or did you figure it out?
There is no phones jack.

They say to only use Boss pwr supply so they get more sales. Every business does that, in both music gear and everything else.
I have had one of these for a year, and I'm still not really comfortable using it. Maybe I'm not bright enough. :-)
Thank you man!!!!!
Have you tried a 4 button footswitch on this?
I dislike the fact that i cant upload backing tracks into this device.
Pro tip: Use a MIDI footcontroller for maximum efficiency.
which one?
Behringer FCB1010
ive been trying to find more MIDI info with this thing. Could you recall a preset and start a saved loop with midi message?
In fact we need a lot of of pratcing.
Buy a Morningstar MIDI controller and code in the functions via MIDI. Problem solved.
Been trying this for a couple of months now. Care to share how you set up the midi? Bugging me out, can't get it right.
@@joeydeg Yes, this!

Just buy a used RC-3, using a loop is a fantastic way to play chords and learn to solo over them.

@@hwnfrd I’m playing 35 years and once I started using an RC-3 it opened the floodgates to all kinds of stuff!
