If Boss (and other manufacturers) would put the pedals on the floor where they belong and the knobs, connectors, and display in the rack where they belong, support 48KHz/96KHz sampling, digital audio I/O, removable storage, I'd start calling Boss (and the other guys') gear "pro gear". (Yes.. it'd be double the price.. but...soooooo worth it to many professionals). I still have my Ibanez UE-404 effects from the 1980's.. Pedal board on the floor.. main unit in a 19 in. rack. Perfect! All that said, Boss/Roland equipment is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a bassist and during Christmas 2021 I bought a new Boss RC500 looper station. I can play a small amount of guitar chords so this looper is perfect for my practice sessions where I can record guitar and play bass along with it or visa versa. It also features built in drum tracks which is helpful. For my needs the RC500 has more features than I will ever use 😆 This RC600 is mega powerful and I can see for a professional musician this would be a great investment. Boss (Roland) make excellent products and built like tanks.
Awesome video Cooper! I’m loving mine with electric, acoustic, bass, and keyboard (which I use to control it via midi, which means I have faders available with my hands for track volumes). Having fun making videos and tutorials. Best looper ever!
Do U have a video tutorial on MIDI controllers? I always thought they should be selling a specific table-top MIDI controller for this unit so U could adjust track volumes without having to move your mouth away from the mic +bend over while wearing a guitar . .
@@OJASfromAUSTIN yes, check out this video I published a few weeks ago. Whether it’s a keyboard or some other midi device, you can control it with your hands. It solved a giant problem for me: ruclips.net/video/wy2HVPEMsik/видео.html
The presentation is class. Yet, I'd like to have seen the buttons that were being pushed as tracks were being laid down, and the access to other button sequences. I'm sure there are tons of videos showing this but most will be 35 mins with 13 midroll ads, going into extreme edits and scenarios that I won't be ready for.
Howdy, Mr. Greenberg, can you use the Boss-600 with the GT1000 and the Quad Cortex? I am on a Mission From God to use both the GT1000 and the Quad Cortex plus the Boss 600 on the stage!!! GREAT VIDEO You express yourself well!!
Love looping, since I'm a solo instrumentalist. I've shied away from complex looper, they get in my way. If uou can show me this doesn't require Fred Astaire footwork and an engineering degree to use it then I'll get excited.
My favorite part about loopers like these is the inclusion of a separate stop switch, so you don't have to mess around with in-tempo quick double taps to stop. Just makes it much more performer friendly. Worth a try!
@@AlamoMusic nice, you will have more in depth demos as you become familiar with it? Love your demos. It's interesting, but a big investment so I want to be sure I'm comfortable with it
I gigged with this last night . I have to say it definitely sounds good but it is totally non practical to use. Accessing the effects is way too cumbersome so you'll definitely have to use a fx alongside it which then means you need 20 ft of room as it's huge . I think it could really benefit with some kind of update where you can use an iPad to control it.
Great content. You look and play like our basements smell similar. Way to put that strat tone to work. I started playing electric but have been playing solely acoustic for 20 some odd years. Recently I got the urge to purchase a strat again...your video has further strengthened that urge. Would you recommend that workstation for someone who would switch between multiple guitars in a life situation i.e. start-off maybe with acoustic and beatboxing. Pick up an electric lay some additional chops and the baseline. That's kind of what I'm looking for something to allow me to do a one-man band type of deal. I definitely don't need that fake drum section s*** that boss puts on there. But I am a big fan of Boss/Roland in general. I love how easy their gear is to use. I use tobswear by a br800 when I first started making music is the front end of my rig before I would send it to a sequencer on my computer... I still use that set up occasionally but I now I primarily use some bs avid soul sucking ptools setup that sounds great and has an amazing workflow what takes all the creativity and stress out of the process.. anyway cheers you got a new subscriber
Can you quantize live to change the tempo on the fly so if you're playing with the drummer that plays a little faster or slower than the recording can you tap tempo?
Hi 👋 I can't seem to find a way to turn off the click/tap tempo/rhythm. On the rc300 it was on the outside next to the tap. I can't seem to find it anywhere which is really odd. Surely ppl like to free loop without a click or tapping in a tempo? Please help
So it’s got serial mode & if you wanna do the baseline thing, you don’t have to record a track in double time then slow it down half to get the octave down? Cool, I bought a ehx 95000 which has 6 tracks but no serial mode, I didn’t realize before i got it, actually I would’ve never thought a looper would have 6 tracks & no serial mode, totally doesn’t make any sense, & the bass thing is like I said speed up, slow down then your octave is dropped, totally R-worded
Hello Mr. Greenberg, I have loved my RC-30. It does just what I want. I would love one more track. Will the 600 be user friendly and act like the 30 ? The sound goes IN (pedals) the way I want it. I just want 1 more track. Would love your comments. I bought the 505mk11 but we are not compatible. Thank you
I'm a guitarist. I'm looking for a looper pedal that will give me about up to 4 overbubs/tracks in one song. Is this overkill? Should i grt an rc5 or this one?
Hello. I have a problem. I bought a new Boss RC 600 looper. On my computer I have songs made on my old Boss RC 50 looper. How do I make the RC 50 wav files work on the RC 600? Because so far the RC 600 looper shows the message FILE NOT SUPPORTED. And I have a lot of trouble, because there are 10 songs that are not easy. RC 600 wav file and RC 50 wav file. But in the RC 50 I mostly have MONO files, or is that a problem? And some settings need to be made .. tips. Please. I have a recital in a few days ..
Hello everyone, I came here specifically to warn every one to stay away from this looper. The RC-600 is a buggy mess and is not nearly ready for a gigging musician. I have been embarrassed by this Looper Pedal when it crashes or randomly changes tempo while I'm performing in front of a crowd. I feel betrayed by Boss as a company and I am pissed as hell that they would sell this when it is far from ready for release. I updated the firmware a couple times now, (currently running 1.2) and while some old bugs are fixed, brand new bugs are introduced. I paid about $700 for this piece of shit and I can't believe how often this looper has let me down/ humiliated me. This Looper has so many options, that by the time you realize its buggy and not you misunderstanding how to use it, it will be too late to return it. A bit FU to Boss and anyone who suggested I buy this looper.
Wow....that was one harsh review and would never consider purchasing this model after reading your comments. Sorry to hear about your problems and appreciate you sharing your thoughts to save others like myself unneeded grief. So let me ask what looper would you recommend to a guitarist looking for a high end model that has an easy work flow and is proven reliable? Just out of curiosity, if you sold the RC-600 what did you replace it with?
You can do that! Just hit the stop button when you complete the loop instead of hitting the record/loop button again. Really helpful in performance situations.
Hello Cooper, thanks for the video, it seems to me that the connection you make is from an output (I don't know if it is general or assigned) to the amplifier that we see behind you. It starts out fine, but when you add the bass line it messes up the mix with muted guitar strumming in my opinion (I hear it in my professional headphones), wouldn't it be better to take the bass out a different output into a PA? I join the others in that test with acoustics and other effects as you promise. By the way, could you tell me if the two effects you say you used, the octave and the LFO, are from the FX in group, or from the FX out group. The reverb in the voice would also be great, because that's where I see most youtubers fail, I'd settle for just hearing something decent. Thank you.
Dude, just want to say you have very personal voice and I found your explaining, although a limited glimpse of the pedal, to very tangible. Could be the aderal though. Yea, just tried to watch an other review and holy shit them people are annoying. Will check out more of your demos. Thanks
Hey there, Is it possible to ALL PAUSE every track? I know there is the ability to all stop, which I use regularly. I have a part in one of my songs that requires all tracks to pause and then I'd like the RC 600 to start playing all of the tracks where they left off, instead of starting at the beginning of the loop. Being able to assign this to a footswitch would be very helpful. I've searched the product pages and dug through the menus and have found no answers.
LESS TALK AND MORE DEMO PLEASE JUST DEMO DEMO DEMO WHY DO I HAVE TO WADE THROUGH PROTRACTED INTRODUCTIONS I KNOW WHAT LOOPERS ARE AND I KNOW THAT THE RC30 HAS 16 bit sampling which makes it unusable I JUST WANT TO SEE THE I/O s of tge rc 600
Nice demo. Nice demo. nice demo.
Sorry, stuck in a...
This video would have been a lot more useful if you showed the actual looper while you were using it.
… and if you were able to FF past the useless info. Never watched this. just commented.
Agreed...
Right. Showed example with guitar could be done same using RC10R so presentation not usefull.
“Entry Level Jam” 😂 That was amazing!!!! 🙌🏼 Wonderful demo.
I laughed at that comment, entry level my ass. 😬

Yes Please! Do an acoustic video with the RC-600.

it would have been good to have had a split screen so we could see what you were doing with your foot
I bought one, and it is so cool love it well worth the rhubarb I sold to get it😊
If you want me to join you on a call for a video, I have now done 30 videos/live streams with the Boss RC-600 and have learnt so so much about it. 👍🏼
A little Season of the Witch vibe on the jam..Donovan...
He's a regular Hurdy Gurdy Man with this contraption

I agree but more importantly can you pause a loop without having to double tap
After these months have gone by, do you still like the RC 600? Is this good for song building (e.g. Intro/Verse/Bridge/Chorus)? Nice video!
Thanks, we are looking at getting one.
I'm intrigued to learn how one might use an acoustic with the RC-600 - for blues I guess?
Acoustic demo coming soon! Spoiler alert, it works great!
Good morning
among the effects offered by the RC 600
are there several kinds of reverbs, with a Shimmer reverb
I gigged with this last night . I have to say it definitely sounds good but it is totally non practical to use. Accessing the effects is way too cumbersome so you'll definitely have to use a fx alongside it which then means you need 20 ft of room as it's huge . I think it could really benefit with some kind of update where you can use an iPad to control it.
Can you share the settings for the envelope filter?! They were sick! ❤️
Thank you - please demo and show the various rhythyms and drum beats available.
I'm still working on the rc-20
What do the different effects do? What does this sound like with an Acoustic? Maybe a stock Taylor or Martin Modern Deluxe? Thanks Looper!
Hey, I'm trying to get into looping and am thinking of pairing this with a keyboard. would you recommend this or a different looper? thanks!
You rock!
I am a multi-instrumentalist, please do the acoustic demo that was impressive brother!
Thanks for the awesome video. It really helps with the decision making process. It's time to get a whole "nuther" system going.
I would like to hear that with acoustic guitar. I think it is more than I need. I will buy your old one!
Great content. You look and play like our basements smell similar. Way to put that strat tone to work. I started playing electric but have been playing solely acoustic for 20 some odd years.

Some very tasty licks lol that strat sounds so damn good!!! Wish my AVll 57 sounded that good 😅🙂😢
Thanks. Please add acoustic and vocals to the demo.
Yeah, can you post an acoustic guitar version with some percussion (using the guitar)?
That’s really cool. I can’t think on that many levels, I have a hard enough time with one loop
I use the RC-500. Looking to seeing more on this one. Thanks.
love your playing man!!
This was very informative!
That is a great demo. What is the model of the strat please? thank you
Hey if you're still wondering, it's the Fender American Pro II with the Dark Night finish
please guide to save the track in a separate playlist easy to open it, thanks!

Hi! Thanks for the video! Do you know if it can be used as USB interface?
bro you play so well, do you have original music?
How does the RC-5 compare to this? I need the best option but What I like is that the RC-5 is smaller and easier portable.
So it’s got serial mode & if you wanna do the baseline thing, you don’t have to record a track in double time then slow it down half to get the octave down?

Awesome guitar review! Is that the boss rc ultra 2?
Is it possible to transpose a looped phrase into another key?
So. . . You ‘played’ with it a little yesterday a ‘know’ it’s the last looper you’ll ever need.
I'm a guitarist. I'm looking for a looper pedal that will give me about up to 4 overbubs/tracks in one song. Is this overkill? Should i grt an rc5 or this one?
was it a bass simulator from a regular guitar or does it have a bass simulator effect? thanks.

whats the effect used in the soloing starting at 6:52? thanks
Nice
For some reason when I use it and record my pedals don’t come through properly. Not sure what the heck is wrong.
I would have learned a lot more if you showed a pic in pic of pressing the buttons.

You should reply to his comment. My question is what do you mean by buggy?
Sept 2023: It's at firmware 1.21 now. I'm curious if Roland has worked all of the bugs out yet.
My daughter has its predecessor and that freezes from time to time. I need to check with her if she has updated the firmware.
It’s just like 45 usd worth from Amazon
It's not just tap tempo though, right? 3:46
Can you record a loop +end it by hitting "stop" without it erasing the loop? (or does it HAVE TO playback the loop after u record it?)
You can do that! Just hit the stop button when you complete the loop instead of hitting the record/loop button again. Really helpful in performance situations.
@@AlamoMusic Awesome! (glad to hear that) +THANK YOU for the assistance :)
can you run tracks too different amps to play at the same time?
Yes!
Would've been good if we could see what your feet were doing when you started using the looper...rather than just your guitar playing

Auto Wah is lame. Octave Pedal sounds nice though
Why is it always the people demoing them who have no business at all using loopers ?
I was hoping to see you manipulate the looper rather than watch you play
