Onboard storage will hold up to 99 phrase memories, so you can easily revisit tracks you've made in the past and reignite your creativity.

All it takes is the initial spark, such as a simple rhythm, a riff saved the night before, or even a full-blown track that is revisited, layer after layer. The RC-500 is a good choice for everybody who's looking for a Loop Station with two separate tracks, MIDI features and a microphone input.

while others help us to improve your experience by providing insights into how the site is being used. And class-leading sound quality ensures that you not only hear your music back, but hear it in crystal-clear detail, too.

Enter the ideal (on paper) looper pedal: two (semi-independent) tracks, XLR input with mic preamp, MIDI sync.

MIDI integration, for example, is solid once it’s set up but it took a bit of effort for me to sync the pedal’s clock with a hardware drum machine. I don't really have need for the effects, and would like to disable them, as occasionally I trigger the effects when tapping the left pedal (and the default effect is the Bend Down, which drops the signal frequency, and is very jarring when done accidentally). APR will be applied from the start of the agreement(during the 12 months free payment period) if you do not pay off the finance within the first 12 months. The RC-500 is powered either by a 9 V DC power supply or by 4 AA batteries sitting in a compartment on the bottom side of the Loop Station.

There are three metallic footswitches on the lower half of the body, angled towards you as you play, with a series of buttons, a couple of dials and two sliders on the top section, surrounding a small LCD display. I’d also suggest, for live performance, you might be better looking towards the larger Boss RC-600 which offers more in the way of inputs and connectivity but will come with a steeper learning curve.you can always remove your last recording by holding down the left pedal for 2 seconds, and put it back in by doing the same action after.

The RC-500 has more storage capacity than older units, features a dedicated preamp which can be used for both vocals and instruments, operates in stereo, and can be easily integrated into any modern music environment via MIDI. Andertons Music Company acts as a credit broker and not a lender and only offers credit products from Secure Trust Bank PLC trading as V12 Retail Finance.Next to the display, there are two sliders on the top side of the RC-500 to adjust the volume of the two tracks. This is quite helpful for seeing where you are in your loop and makes navigating the features pretty intuitive for on the fly parameter changes. The LCD backlight changes color to clearly show the current operation mode, while hands-on track faders and a mic level knob provide direct access to volume control as you loop. Additionally, the LCD display is color-coded so you can easily see whether you’re in recording, overdubbing or playback mode.
