The BOSS RC-5 Loop Pedal delivers best-in-class sound quality, capturing your performance with full fidelity while keeping your loops crystal clear—even with multiple overdubs. With 13 hours of stereo recording time, you have ample space for extended creativity.

Featuring the most advanced interface of any compact looper pedal, the RC-5 includes a high-visibility LCD display that changes color to indicate recording, overdub, and playback status. Paired with a multi-function parameter knob, navigating rhythms, drum kits, and system settings is quick and seamless, even during live performances.

Beyond simple looping, the RC-5 Loop Station enhances your playing with a built-in phrase memory and rhythm engine, offering inspiring grooves for any style. Each rhythm includes A/B variations, selectable via the pedal or MIDI control for real-time transitions. The reverse function adds even more creative possibilities, bringing unique textures to your music.

The BOSS RC-5 provides comprehensive control with built-in pedal switching for recording, overdubbing, playback, stop, and undo/redo functions. For expanded flexibility, you can connect up to two external footswitches or an expression pedal to assign additional functions and achieve dynamic real-time adjustments.

With TRS MIDI I/O, the RC-5 integrates seamlessly with MIDI switchers, foot controllers, drum machines, and DAWs. Plus, USB connectivity allows you to back up loops and import WAV files via BOSS Tone Studio, turning the RC-5 into a powerful playback hub for jam tracks, lessons, or live performances.
