Review: Quality by Boss as always. - If your looking at This you know what it is. I thought I’d give this a go see if I could use it and see what it would do. It’s really simple to use and is really robust so is definitely value for money. It does take a bit of practice to get your timing right or you end up with an imperfect loop. You do get the jag is it though. Over dubbing is great so you can build on basic chords or riffs. I think this is great if you play a few chords in a key then practice scales, runs, licks o we the chords. I can see that after a while you might want to upgrade to something that will generate sounds too. Shame you don’t get a power supply with it but you can get them cheap enough. Battery won’t last very long. It’s a standard Boas pedal size so compact but very robust. The display is easy to follow and very intuitive. All in all I think this is a top piece of kit. It will really help my playing.
Review: recreating the sound at excellent quality. With the volume knob at 12 o'clock ... - My first Boss out of many pedal purchases. I have to say what people say about the build quality rings true, it's solid and really well put together. This is also my first experience of the Boss style large springy footswitch, and I'm wondering why more companies don't adapt it - you can't miss! This is chiefly going to be used for laying down some 12 bar rhythm to practice licks over. Have had a quick go and it handles this with aplomb, recreating the sound at excellent quality. With the volume knob at 12 o'clock I did have to step on a Tubescreamer once I'd recorded the rhythm as the loop volume was quite loud. So maybe turn it down for these purposes or use your guitar volume knob on a quieter setting for the rhythm. I have also tried a couple of overdubs and these were easy to achieve and reproduced well. One thing (for the way I will use it) is the default order for pedal presses isn't ideal, although there is a fix which is in the instructions, which changes the order to record, playback, dub. Otherwise your first press is to record another layer. Just bear this in mind if you watch Youtube demos and don't like the double tap to stop function, you can change it out. The LED wheel has good visibility and works with a visual 'countdown' to give a further aid to synchronising your playing, should you need it. This comes equipped with a battery. I'm powering it through a Voodoo Labs PP2, it is a normal 9v connection but the current draw is 85 Ma which means it'll need it's own connection on similar supplies (dedicated daisy chains are different). I couldn't find this info in the instructions. One last tip for anyone new to this, if you are putting blues rhythm down for example then start playing during the turnaround bars of the 'previous' section, kicking record on beat one of your I chord after that. This will result in a natural feeling loop, starting on beat one bar one can cause problems. Strongly recommended. Once you get a few licks under your belt I can't think of a better practice tool.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi,can I use it with a different branded foot switch?Or I have to get a Boss one?[To be more specific;I have a Digitech FS3X:Three button switch]**
A: Hi,The RC-1 is designed to work with the Boss FS-7, it may be compatable with other footswitches but Boss do not specify which alternatives may work.  It would just be a matter of giving it a try.Reidy's Customer Support Team

**Q: never bought a looper before but could i lay a few chords down on my acoustic then let this record them keep repeating them whilst i sing?**
A: As long as your acoustic has a pickup and can be plugged into the looper you will be good to go. You can also layer the vocal with a mic if you put it through an amp as well. General view: the looper is very easy to use, sturdy and is great fun.

**Q: Hi,will I be able to upload tracks to pc/laptop?**
A: Hello, no... this model was not meant to be used with a pc, but the RC3 it's ok for you! Kindest Regards - Esse Music Staff

**Q: I can't pause or stop a loop anymore. if i double tap it finishes playing the loop with green leds flashing then deletes it? how do i change it back?**
A: Hello, It might be that the memory is full. You could try holding the pedal down until it resets. Failing this you can call our store and ask advice on 0114 362 7777 or just process a return through Amazon. Best wishes James RTM sales

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple loop pedal, good quality
*by D***N on 28 October 2025*

Very basic but works well, no issues with its build quality. Controls are simple although the undo function is a little clumsy. It’s very much a basic practice tool and its sound reproduction quality is excellent. It only stores one loop session at a time but for practice that’s not an issue. The Boss foot switch seems a little curious at first for a looper pedal but it’s easy to learn the dynamic. I use it regularly and find it an interesting contrast to my 2 foot switch EHX looper. It’s fun to use and probably reasonable value for money if you can get one at a slight discount.
