No more hesitation. If you're starting out with a looper, choose BOSS.

Looper-assisted performances have become a major global movement. As pioneers in this field, we at BOSS have always considered the following: Loopers offer limitless expressive potential. To realize this potential, we believe a looper that anyone can easily start using is essential. Developed with this concept in mind, the RC-1 was born as the simplest looper in BOSS history. Now, we bring the unique charm of loop performance—the addictive fun that captivates everyone who tries it—to all guitarists and bassists. Then and now, BOSS is the go-to choice for loopers. There's no need to hesitate any longer.

◎ Simple design that makes operation easy. Features the renowned BOSS design for durability.
◎ Loop indicator that shows the recording, playback, and overdub status at a glance.
◎ In addition to the AC adapter, it also supports battery power for use on the street.
◎ Supports stereo recording for up to approximately 12 minutes, allowing you to test ideas without worrying about recording time.
◎ No need to worry about data loss. The phrases are retained even when the power is off.

With its simple design that makes operation easy, the RC-1 is the perfect looper for your first time. Recording, playback, overdubbing, and undo/redo are all controlled with a single pedal.
Furthermore, the innovative circular loop indicator clearly displays the recording, playback, and overdub status, as well as the tempo. This allows you to grasp all the necessary performance information at a glance, enabling intuitive loop performance without any confusion.

Battery-powered, street-ready
In addition to the AC adapter, it also supports battery operation (approximately 4.5 hours with a 9V battery) for use on the street. This is a unique BOSS advantage that makes it suitable for outdoor performances.

Not too small, easy to step on, and a reliable BOSS design. Adopting the BOSS compact design, which is highly regarded by many guitarists and bassists, its robustness and stability have already been proven in numerous professional settings. The exquisite body size—not too small, easy to step on—and the box shape, which prevents accidental touches of the knobs even when pressed firmly, are perfectly matched for loopers that require frequent pedal operation. There's no need to worry about operating errors.

You can try out ideas without worrying about time.
The RC-1 has a recording time of up to approximately 12 minutes in stereo. For example, you can perform with an entire song as the backing track, allowing you to experiment with as many ideas as you like. The RC-1 is a looper that captures the moment of inspiration and transforms it into your masterpiece.

With stereo input/output support, you can connect effects that support stereo output, or connect stereo source instruments such as synthesizers for loop performances.

The RC-1 remembers the last recorded loop phrase even when the power is off. This eliminates the risk of data loss due to unexpected problems, making it ideal for live performances.

For more comfortable operation, combine the compact dual footswitch, FS-7, for smoother operation. Its space-saving size allows it to fit neatly onto your pedalboard.
