BOSS RC-30 Loop Station Twin Guitar Pedal, Red

I saw a Boss RC-30 in action at a public library presentation in Avon, CT, over the summer of 2015 (Jester Jim!). Jester Jim used it well, and I thought it was was very cool (too cool for school, in fact) and I knew I had to "get me one of those." And so a few months later, I did. I have learned the basics, and I have created some nice loops with guitar, bass, and drums. A lot of fun to sit and jam with yourself after the loop is complete. My understanding of the unit at this point is pretty limited, but I hope that as I learn more of its capabilities, I will be as happy with it as I am now. And my kids love to hear themselves say "Poop!" over and over. The RC-30 is a grand old time for one and all!

Read the in depth reviews on musicians friend, lots of details there, and very positive reviews. This is my first looper and I am impressed with the features in this pedal. Be prepared to spend some time learning how to use it and make the most of the features, especially if you are new to loopers like me. My playing has improved since I got this box - I can lay down some tracks and practice licks and riffs over and over again. The best thing is you can store 3 hours of loops which means you can record a whole evenings backing tracks. I can even run my computer to the aux input and record some prerecorded backing tracks directly into the looper. Havent used the USB yet, will get to that eventually! Its expensive but well worth the money. IF you dont need the dual track feature the cheaper RC3 might be a better option. But for $100 extra I think the RC30 is worth it.

Absolutely love this pedal. I used to be in the band scene and totally miss jamming with friends and performing live. This pedal allows me to play like a one man band. Yes, there are computer based equipment you could find and use which does the same thing or even better but this thing is a plug and play gear you'd really want to have connected to your instrument effects line. Two track multiple overdubs give you a lot of freedom to be creative in writing riffs, leads and track mixes. Sound quality is good. Only challenge I had so far is when I have to switch back and forth between tracks multiple times... so I guess I will be one of those who eventually ended up getting an FS-6 dual pedal to address this. Go get it! Totally lots of fun :)

I already have a BR- 1600 capable of looping . It is very time demanding and takes away the, "in the moment recording" . With the RC -30 It makes it all so simple, and makes it easy to sync the insturument ( guitar/key board/ bass ) easily. So good for trying out different solo's , or arrangements. I like it mostly to create new songs and put together lyrics / instumentals after I get the loop happening. If I want to practice a solo on top of a rythm I go t all the time I need . Davi A

This is the pedal of all pedals. Excellent quality and easy to use once you get the hang of it. I would highly recommend!

Worked fine for about 3 weeks. Now it doesn't pick up any sound. I've tried multiple guitars with multiple plugs. I've emailed the company about the issue a week ago, and still haven't heard back. Cruddy service if you ask me.

I have had this looper for a few months now. I've really enjoyed playing on it. It is really easy to use and will help any guitar player with their counting and staying on beat. Like most other loopers, you need to time everything perfectly. It also works as a great way to entertain kids. My nephew still thinks there's man stuck inside of it.

Steep learning curve on the controls of this pedal, but once you have it down its a stage quality looper dripping with possibilities. Highly recommend.
