Description
PRELOVED BOSS RC-5 Loop Station
The BOSS RC-5 Loop Station packs an enormous amount of looping power into the familiar BOSS compact pedal format. With excellent audio quality, up to 13 hours of stereo recording, 99 phrase memories, built-in rhythms and MIDI connectivity, it's a serious looper that works just as well for home practice as it does in a full live rig.
This preloved RC-5 is in near-new condition and includes its original box. It has been tested and is working properly.
For players wanting the flexibility of a modern looper without giving up half their pedalboard, the RC-5 is one of the standout options in the BOSS range.
High-Quality 32-Bit Audio
The RC-5 uses 32-bit AD/DA conversion and 32-bit floating-point processing, allowing your loops to retain excellent clarity even as layers begin to build.
There's up to 13 hours of stereo recording time available across 99 phrase memories, giving you plenty of room to save song ideas, backing parts, arrangements and complete performances.
A bright colour LCD makes it much easier to see what's happening while you're playing, with clear visual indication of your loop status and progress.
57 Built-In Rhythms
The RC-5 isn't just useful for building loops.
It includes 57 preset rhythm patterns, each with A/B variations, along with seven different drum kits. This makes it a particularly useful practice tool when you want something more musical than playing along with a metronome.
The rhythms can also become part of a live looping setup, providing a foundation for building complete arrangements on the fly.
MIDI & External Control
Despite its compact size, the RC-5 can become part of a much larger pedalboard or performance setup.
TRS MIDI In and Out allow the RC-5 to synchronise with compatible MIDI equipment, while the external control input can be used with compatible BOSS footswitches or an expression pedal.
USB connectivity also allows you to back up your loops to a computer or import WAV audio into the pedal.

Who Is the BOSS RC-5 For?
The RC-5 is a great choice for guitarists, bassists and other musicians who want a capable looper without moving to a larger multi-switch Loop Station.
For home practice, the built-in rhythms and saved phrase memories make it easy to work on timing, improvisation and songwriting.
For live players, stereo operation, MIDI connectivity and external footswitch support allow the RC-5 to become part of a much more sophisticated performance rig.
And if you simply want to hit the switch, record a chord progression and start playing over it, it'll happily do that too.
