Product description Boss RC-500
The RC-500 Loop Station builds on the extremely popular BOSS RC-30 2-track looper and offers additional MIDI capability, an animated color LCD, crisper drum sounds on board and more stereo record time than you'll ever want.
From beatboxers and guitarists to keyboarders and singer/songwriters, if you're looking for a creative launchpad to write songs at home and build loops in a live environment, the BOSS RC-500 is the perfect addition to your setup. Record and dub on the RC-500's two independent tracks, then switch, mix and toggle to your heart's content.
With built-in Loop FX (beat, repeat, shift, scatter and vinyl), you can add effects to the loops for more variation in texture. The BOSS RC-500 Loop Station gives you 13 hours of recording time in 32-bit stereo, divided into 99 recallable phrase memories. The Phrase Memories store not only the basic loops and overdubs you create, but also Loop FX and each of the 114 onboard drum grooves and 16 drum kits you select to accompany them.
Thanks to the RC-500's USB port, you can easily save and reload loops in sets. The animated LCD display with RGB backlighting keeps you up to date on beat, beat and loop status at every step. Looking for more control? The RC-500 also gives you stereo inputs and outputs, an assignable external footswitch/expression pedal connector, and even TRS MIDI inputs and outputs for syncing with drum machines and remote control via your pedalboard MIDI switcher.

Boss 500. After reading a number of reviews. I was delighted to find the loop station met all my expectations. Took a while to update the firmware but I figured it out. Great service from recordcase.

Super Looper - Schnelle Lieferung
Ein sehr guter Looper, wurde sehr schnell geliefert. Einziger Nachteil bisher: Batterien schnell leer (besser Netzteil benutzen) und durch den großen Funktionsumfang muss man sich in die Bedienung erst eingewöhnen (üben, üben, üben).
