## Description

Step up to the RC-5 and prime your pedalboard with maximum looping range. Capture sound with premium 32-bit quality, navigate parameters and monitor loop status with the backlit LCD, and tap into expanded operation via the control jack and TRS MIDI I/O. And with over 50 rhythms, 13 hours of stereo recording, 99 phrase memories, and more, the compact RC-5 puts a deep well of musical power at your feet.

Review: Great pedal - Awesome for recording lead and rythm ideas. My only complaint is the dub over the main recording is not a separate track. It all records as one track. However, the track can transfer to PC or phone via USB. RC-5 has built in drum loops and metronome making. Overall a great addition to any practice rig for recording.
Review: Boss quality - does the job, great sound quality, try to complement it with an external pedal, rule of thumbs for looper pedal, "at least 2 buttons"

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there no way to have it automatically save your songs as you record them?...I keep losing loops I've recorded simply because I turned the knob.**
A: Yo will need to press the 2 setup and memory buttons under the display (write) then press the large knob to the right of the display when prompted to write and execute. Save the loop before changing memory locations or the loop will be gone when you go back to that memory.

**Q: Could a record bass and send that to one output (bass amp), then play guitar live and send to the guitar amp?**
A: I tried it, and both signals will pass through to the outputs, but the primary signal (mono) output is to both A and B channels. If I understand what you are asking, yes it does loop both signals, but not sent (true send) as separate outputs.  Boss (Roland Corp.) has all the manuals and specs on-line for further review.

**Q: Can this unit synch to midi clock from an outside source?**
A: Yes.  You can set the Boss pedal to send or receive. (control or be controlled)

**Q: At the end of the loop it keeps cutting out for a second. Is that normal?**
A: No. Should just start at top. You have to start the loop (ie stomp on pedal) exactly in sync with start of playing.
