Thanks again for the vids on the 500... I’m years away from having talent that would be worthy of purchasing a 600.. the 500 is perfect for me .. and it seems like most everyone has moved up and graduated from the 500 now.. ( like yourself) .... and there’s not many instructional vids being made anymore..so I appreciate you , continuing to help us 500 users out! 😁👍🏻
I’m glad you like all the videos. Would love to know from yourself anything you think needs covering that I haven’t already as I’m looking into making a full blown course for the 500.
I’ll definitely try the „4 track“ undo/redo setup. Also some control+assign on one pedal things. Very inspiring. Thanks a lot!
More than welcome and here is the playlist of all the videos I have made so far with the RC-5 and RC-500 hopefully for more inspiration 😊
Enjoy. th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaa2hQEKtoW-FyuhOBCwlfRs.html&si=CJHsqLVHKvUsqHjw

I use a mvave midi controller. Programmed one footswitch to all start and stop (toggle/one press), and clear track 1 & 2 (2 message, momentary/press and hold to trigger)
That sounds like a solid use of the button system.
Great video as ever JP. I’ve been trying to figure out the “Extent” control for days now to limit the number of accessable memories to simplify the setup. Have you got any tips on this please?
Hey John, Thanks again for the stream, im watching it again. That undo/redo pedal assignment to add track power is a cracker. Question, can i use a Helicon Switch 3 footswitch with the RC500? as it has 3 things to map but i only saw the option for 2 in the video. B
That’s a very good question. Let me figure that out for you. 👍🏻
I’m thinking no as the software doesn’t have a 3rd CTRL button so it’s about hoeing to program it.
@@JohnPaulMusicUK Thanks John. I think i will get the FS6 as the footswitch and use a midi controller to add more footswitch power.
Hey there, great video. I think that boss assigns pedal1 and pedal2 like that because they read it right to left and the way we read goes left to right.
Oh wow 😮
How have I never noticed that before!! 😂 🤣 🤦🏻
Hello and congratulations for your channel, I always follow you.. I wanted to ask you for some info: I have the RC500 and I would like to know if it is possible to start the song by creating a drum kit with the guitar "but not letting the public hear it and therefore not letting it go out from the speakers" but simply record it in the RC and then use it for example in the middle of the song, maybe there is a function? Thank you!
Hey and thanks 🙏
So you want a drum track but only going to your headphones so the audience doesn’t hear it and you can keep in time?
You can use the Rhythm section in the RC-500 and rout it to just a certain output (A or B on the back) so you could then put that to your ears and the other output would be out to the PA.
I’m currently working on this exact video and more and more people ask for it. Have a look at this playlist that should help you out: th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaa2hQEKtoW-FyuhOBCwlfRs.html&si=978NTH-yD0y6fbua

i bouth my second one,,load the first up with 80 cover songs,,verse/Chorus,,can i copy that stuff easy to my new rc-500? how do i do it?
Besides the fact, that it has different FX, can a rc500 plus FS6 or FS7 be set up so it works exactly like a trusty rc30? So all the tap dance I am used to in my songs don’t change…
I had one of these but after a few days, gave it back. I found it complicated and easy to get in trouble. I'm used to parallel looping with the Ditto X4 and tried to set the Boss up the same way. I'm probably doing something wrong but I could not set the third pedal up to stop all.
That’s interesting.
The looper can do parallel (single mode) but it’s a different learning curve. I get it though. When you go from one to another. It’s almost like un-learning to relearn. 👍🏻
It's a real shame that Boss don't really let people know just how easy this is. All you needed to do was press and hold switch 3 for a couple of seconds, the light above it turns purple and it is now an "all stop/start" button. Another tap reverts it back to track selection.
It does actually say this in the Parameter Guide but easy to miss amongst everything else. I think a lot of folks don't even know that the Parameter Guide exists as it's download only. ☹️
I got a couple questions for you my friend. Can I run two different tracks on this that I load up myself for backing tracks. For instance one can be for the bass and the second track can be for synth or a click and other noises that are found on songs. And can I separate the outputs as left and right. In other words can I put track one on the left and then track two on the right?
Yes. And Yes! 😊

@@JohnPaulMusicUK 😁👍 thank you.
Every time I have a looper question I come here. And you answer very quickly which is much appreciated 🍻🍻🍻
Hey, first: Thank you! :) I've already watched another video by you and will check out your playlist for RC 500 :) I made as you said from 11:00: 1
Pedal 1 = T1 R/P/S(C
Pedal 2 = T2 R/P/S(C
Pedal 3 = T1 CLEAR + ASSIGN1… clear T2 (so clear all)
Unfortunately I saved it. Now every Memory (Slot) seems to have this setting.
I changed it, then changed it back again - then I got confused ;)
In another short video you say we can use Memory 1 as a blank template. And while “writing” (saving) I am also asked to which Memory I want to save it. So why are the pedal settings written on Mem also an Mem 99 for example? :/
Can you help? Clarify? :)
Okay.. so sounds like you’ve got a little jumbled up here. First off, by default, the RC-500 out of the box, if you change the pedals, it changes them system wide - all 99 memories.
You can go into the preference setting (MENU>PREFERENCE) and you can change either the pedals, CTRL & Exp to be either system or memory.
When you change them to memory then this means that if you make a change to the pedals on one memory, it does not effect the others.
Have a look at this video about using a template and going a bit deeper into it. You can always factory reset the board if it’s got too much.

Hi John Paul Chris here from the states .....love your content mate.....on a whim i just picked up a rarely used one for $200 usd from a fellow who said it was too complicated for his needs . do you think this will be a good device for a solo acoustic player ? I have several loopers in my collection including a boss rc2 , a flamma Fs21, and a TC Electronic X2 and ive had others thruout the years and my experience is they are either too basic or a little to complicated for me to use on the fly live . Im hoping this falls somewhere in the middle and i rally dont fancy buying an additional fS-6 ext pedal. I just want to make on the go beats and some basic rhythm loops with the ability to start and stop either or both tracks easily on the fly without double tapping ......cheers
This will be a great choice for that. Even just for the upgraded sound of 32 bit as well as more advanced needs. Yes it’s a great choice.
Here’s the playlist of all the videos I’ve done for both the RC-5 and RC-500 so far: th-cam.com/play/PLO36LpORUSaa2hQEKtoW-FyuhOBCwlfRs.html&si=978NTH-yD0y6fbua

Hope it all helps. 👌
Just wanna check, sometimes you refer to FS5 (around 15 mins in for instance). Did you mean to say RC5?
Sorry yes. Just watched it back.. meant RC-5. 🤣 brain and letters and numbers.. haha 🙄
@@JohnPaulMusicUK All good, thanks for the vid
Hi Paul, I'm totally new to all this and biught the rc500 just for a bit of fun. Question.... Can you record on the rc500 at the tempo you play at and then the rhythm(drums) will playback at the tempo you recorded at, rather thsn set the tempo up before playing. Thanks in advance. Jenny
hi. yes you can 👍🏻
the looper will match the tempo of the recording of your loop.
here is my playlist of all the rc500 (and rc5) videos I have done so far. enjoy:

@@JohnPaulMusicUK, brilliant, thank you so much for your help and links, really appreciate that. 😁👍
hey can you take a loop from one track and copy it to another empty track?
You can certainly take a loop from one memory and move it to another memory by re-saving it and just changing the memory location but you can’t move tracks.
Also if you did change it to another memory this will overwrite whatever was in that memory so be careful. 🙏
Can you create verse 1, verse 2, chorus and bridge (four parts)?
On a way, yes.
Have a look at this - th-cam.com/video/sBovcjfWgQ4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6OrsAHdYc6dknS-2
Maybe you can help me. Could it be that there is no "start/stop/ clear" function possible with the external control switch? I can obviously stop both tracks but how do I delete them?
And how would you connect it with the play acoustic? ....
The fastest way to delete them is to go down a memory and then back up. Cause it doesn’t save, it is a trick along boss loop pedal users use as it’s faster than holding down erase for 2secs.
Great question. Have a look at this video. It’s with the RC-30 but it’s the exact same principle for the RC-500
th-cam.com/video/tErt9uASsPs/w-d-xo.html
@@JohnPaulMusicUK thanks for the answer!!!! As a singing guitarist who sits sometimes while playing on a barstool it's not ideal to go down and switch channels bei hand to delete the liverecording...
My ideal setup would be the RC500 in standard setup plus an fs6 pedal using one ctrl switch for a undo/redo and the important thing I can't find: the second Ctrl button for an All start/stop/clear for emergency. I guess with midi and a few more switches I can do it all, but I would prefer a simple fs6 to have the emergency stop and clear function. Thanks for your help and videos!
I'm only just seeing this video, I gotta agree with @brandonread6956, the undo/redo assigned to both tracks is guna ramp my live on the fly performances tenfold!! Thanks for the Tip and posting this video.
more than welcome. here is the playlist of every RC-5 and RC-500 video ihave done so far.
