{"product_id":"boss-rc-5-compact-stereo-loop-station-pedal","title":"BOSS RC-5 Compact Stereo Loop Station Pedal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BOSS RC-5 is a compact stereo loop station pedal for creating, layering, and recalling musical loops in a pedalboard-friendly format. It gives guitarists, bassists, keyboard players, and other performers a focused way to build parts during practice, writing, or live performance. This is a musical-instrument effects pedal, not a vehicle receiver or car-audio component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts single-track looper engine records and plays back stereo audio with a maximum total recording time of approximately 13 hours across its onboard memories. The RC-5 supports 99 phrase memories, allowing players to keep multiple loop ideas, song sections, or prepared performance phrases available. A single phrase memory can hold approximately 1.5 hours of recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC-5 uses 32-bit AD\/DA conversion and 32-bit floating-point processing, with 44.1 kHz WAV recording and playback. This architecture is designed to preserve detail through repeated loop playback while keeping the pedal compact. Buffered bypass supports integration into a signal chain when the looper is not actively recording or playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn RGB-backlit graphic LCD provides loop-status information and access to operating parameters. The pedal includes 57 rhythm patterns with A\/B variations and seven rhythm kits, giving players a built-in timing reference for practice and performance. A reverb effect is available for the rhythm part, and reverse playback adds an alternate loop texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor expanded rigs, the RC-5 offers stereo 1\/4-inch inputs and outputs, a control jack for compatible footswitches or expression pedals, USB connectivity, and compact stereo-miniature MIDI input and output connections. It can run from the included 9V alkaline battery or an optional BOSS PSA-series AC adapter. This makes it suitable as a straightforward standalone looper or as part of a larger MIDI-controlled pedalboard system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32-Bit Audio Processing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses 32-bit AD\/DA conversion and floating-point processing for detailed loop recording and playback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Loop Engine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Records and plays one stereo loop track for stereo-capable pedalboard signal paths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e99 Phrase Memories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stores loops and prepared phrases for quick recall across practice or performance setups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In Rhythms:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes 57 rhythm patterns, A\/B variations, and seven selectable rhythm kits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRGB Graphic LCD:\u003c\/strong\u003e Displays loop status and editing information on a 96 x 32-dot backlit screen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpanded External Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports compatible footswitches, expression pedals, USB, and TRS MIDI connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RC-5 uses BOSS's compact stompbox-style enclosure and a single integrated pedal switch for hands-free loop operation. Its front-panel controls include dedicated memory, setup, rhythm, and tempo controls, plus a MEMORY\/LOOP LEVEL knob.

For additional hands-free control, use the STOP\/MEMORY jack with a compatible external footswitch or expression pedal. The pedal includes a 9V battery; an optional PSA-series adapter is practical for regular pedalboard use, while compatible TRS MIDI cables are required for MIDI connections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45669346345030,"sku":"RC-5","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0048\/4163\/5910\/files\/81muOk4xbCL.jpg?v=1784492734","url":"https:\/\/audiowatt.store\/products\/boss-rc-5-compact-stereo-loop-station-pedal","provider":"Audio Watt Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
