2-track stereo looper with microphone input and backing track function
With the Boss RC-500 Loop Station Boss is launching a powerful, flagship-class 2-track stereo looper, whose well-thought-out range of functions helps all singer-songwriters, guitarists and multi-instrumentalists take their performances to new heights. Based on a completely reworked 32-bit audio engine, the looper promises unrivalled audio quality even when making full use of the overdub function, with two tracks available per loop for flexible song and arrangement design. In addition to the reverse function for playing loops backwards and loop effects that influence timbre and texture, the Boss RC-500 Loop Station is equipped with a handy accompaniment function, which, with 16 drum kits and versatile rhythm patterns, aids the creative development of songs and accompaniments. The RC-500 also offers 99 on-board memory slots for storing recorded loop performances. Whilst the bright LCD display with multi-colour backlighting and multiple display modes provides precise information on the status of the Loop Station, connections for optional footswitches or expression pedals, along with the TRS-MIDI function, allow for flexible control of the Boss RC-500 Loop Station.
