I was frustrated at first when I got this the other day. All because I thought I was stuck in overdub mode after recording. Thank you so much for this video! Now I'm having fun and really loving this pedal.
We're so glad we could help out, and we're so happy to hear you're loving your looper pedal!
jesus, this is what has happened to my rc-1! i was sure it's broken. can't wait to set it back to normal, thank you so much!
why doesn't the manual tell about this lmao
Thank you very important info. Mine was how you clear and reset and you nailed it .👍✨
Thank you for simplifying the looping process!👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for making this easy to understand.
We're so glad that you found it helpful!
Thanks, guys!
Thank you, this helps.
Great video
Thank you!
Thanks guys. I didn't plan on an overdub so i see how the playback can be after the record. That is all I wanted
Thanks. Got this second hand (sorry);as a practice tool and didnt know you could make it playback before overdub
Legends...just bought this contraption...never used a looper before. It's all over the place
I just got one of these yesterday so this video was helpful. My question: If you play the first loop for four bars, do all subsequent overruns have to also be four bars? (I tried going a little longer and it was all messed up.)
That's awesome! You are correct. The first loop sets the length of the available recording time. You may want to repeat the base loop/riff/beat for a few more bars to give your self appropriate recording time. Happy playing!
@@heidmusic Thanks! Also, the paperwork with mine calls it "RC-1 (B)". Haven't seen that B anywhere else. What do think about that?
@@saxophool it probably means B-stock. which means it was either Returned from an order error, ex display or a discontinued line or products.
if not. its probably just the Black edition given my recent google search
Great informative video.
Are you sure about that display mode setting though?
I'm pretty sure it's
Red menu: Overdub menu
Green menu: Stop Mode menu
Red and Green menu: Display menu.
Dad: Sorry, my 7 yo daughter is helping me...
Daughter: 😮
Can you plug the Boxx RC-1 to a microphone?
Can you make it fade out? Thank you.
Well
So say I wanna record a riff but I wanna be able to adjust my settings on my distortion pedal while its looping to maximize or perfect the tone in the loop. Is this possible if so how would I run it?
If you run the looper before the distortion you can do that but it wouldn't then record it with that distortion if you wanted to change it for another part.
When using the RC1 with stomp boxes starting with my guitar going into the RC1 to a wa wa pedal to a Chorus pedal and out to my Fender amp the problem is, whatever stomp box effect I recorded with changes in play back to the stomp box effect I’m using to solo over it with. I want both recorded loop and solo to be independent of each other. Anybody got any ideas? Is the RC1 supposed to be the first input in the pedal lineup ?
Hey Richard, typically you would run the RC1 last in the effect chain so that you can avoid not having control of what effect is happening on each loop. Anything you run after the looper is going to affect everything playing from the looper and not be able to be on only one layer. Thanks for watching!
Please help me understand this ...whenever you want to clear the loop out it seems to always make a noise?.. is there any way to silence that seems very awkward for a live situation
A solution will depend on other factors in your setup. One example I would suggest is to run your pedal tuner after the looper so that you can mute the signal when performing operations like that or even just as a backup "killswitch" for your signal. I will also touch base with our guitar department buyer to see if there's any other suggestions/recommendations from Boss. Thanks for checking in with us!
So many loopers I have no idea what they all do even at a store I asked and the guy couldn’t tell me lol. I never use loopers.
I essentially want one where I can record for a fair amount of minutes , the longer the better ideally.
I don’t need many loops going at once just a few, maybe 4?
And I want to be able to save and go back to it.
I want to looper essentially you record and write with on the spot without having anything setup for recording .This way if I get an idea I can look and work on vocals if The rythm or melody is tricky.
So I’d use it less for trying to be a one man band and just for working on a piece of music in a stripped down way.
Any suggestions for a looper than can do these things? Can a looper also fast forward into a certain part of the loop?
We're not sure of a looper that has all of those functionalities in one. What is sounds like might work for you is a simple recording interface or a handheld recorder if you're looking to get some ideas documented. A looper pedal is geared more towards doing 1-2 measure loops and building on top of that, typically in a one man band setting.
Could you loop like 16 measures of music and then play over that?
Boss offers a variety of Loop Station models. The basic RC-1 can loop up to 12 minutes of recorded audio, which should definitely accommodate 16 measure of even a very slow tempo.
is their saving system or not simple question
Is all that to say that you start playing at the same instant as you tap the looper
It's not the exact same instant, but you don't want to start more than a beat or so after you engage the looper.
Wat is the level dial for pls?
Ik this vid is 2 years old and i have no clue if this question will be answered but i was wondering if the pedal is supposed to act like this or its user error, when i play a loop and i proceed to just play over that loop (I dont' mess with over dubbing) the loop sounds extremely quiet compared to what i am playing i have my level knob on the pedal all the way up plz help if you can🙏
I would recommend setting the level to the midpoint (12 o'clock) and make sure the instrument level going into the looper is loud enough. Depending on what other pedals you might be running before/after the looper, you might want to make sure the various output levels are uniform as well. Happy looping!
Can anybody please clarify if it is possible to loop something clean and then change the amp settings to distortion and play along with the clean loop?
You can if the amp has an f/x loop and you plug the looper pedal into that instead of where your guitar plugs in as anything in the f/x loop is after the preamp so what you originally recorded is unaffected by any changes to your settings. If the amp doesn't have an f/x loop you cant do that but if you use a distortion pedal instead of the distortion on the amp you can put the looper pedal after the distortion pedal and its the same idea.
You can do that if the distortion is being made from something before the looper in the signal chain. Easiest way to do that would be to use some sort of overdrive/distortion pedal and have the looper be the last thing in your signal chain. You could also try this by putting the looper in your effects loop on the amp if it has one.
Thank you both!
Yeah I get it but it should have a volume control for loop I guess we need to loop on low vol ? Thru guitar or amp master or amp vol??? Huh😮
Check out the fairly new Loopy Pro iPad app. It will blow your collective minds.
What does the level knob do?
It adjusts the return volume of whatever loops you've recorded, so you can balance it with your non-loop signal. Thanks for watching!
How do you save stuff on it
On the RC-5 or higher there is a USB out that you can use to transfer loops on and off of the unit. Check out www.boss.info for more instructions for your specific looper
Not possible to save on this one, you need to fork out more cash for a different looper
@@toneranger Of course !!!
Hold pedal down to clear, that sounds right. But then it plays the last part of the loop for a few seconds...that makes the pedal useless when playing live.
4:27
I cant get factory demo to delete no ,matter what!!!!
Interesting...but you never did say how to just playback what you recorded....the basic. Sorry guys but showing off you left out the most important part
Hey there! It's super easy, all you have to do is press once to record, once to overdub and once again for playback (no record). Thanks for watching!
Does anyone read the manual that come's with these things? I work in tech pubs so it annoys me why these videos even exist.
Mine didn’t come with a manual
@@cannella192 Boss support website download.
Mine didn't com with a manual boss loopers are a joke dont buy one they suck
