I love that the RC-5 allows you to fade out and clear in one operation. This is essential for live performance, and very few loopers have that capability.

That's something I definitely should mention in my article.

Great vid, man - I've been considering this pedal for a few weeks now - Ima go pick it up and level up my practice/jam/noodle sessions.

I've found too many buttons, and an lcd can be overwhelming .I purchased a katana with my first electric guitar. I spent more time screwing with settings and modulations than i did playing! Picked up the ir200, and i love it!

I just ordered this pedal from Amazon. You are the only person that talked about the Boss backup tracks! That's yet another a cool feature this pedal has. Thanks for the info.

Yeah the RC-5 is a great pedal. I was surprised no one mentioned that feature as well.

hello, the pedal modifies the bpm of the recorded signal when i modify the bpm with the button memory level?

That was a very cool rundown. Thank you.

Very nice explanation. Thank you.

Hello Andrew! Question... I play flamenco so the guitar I have does not have a plug and I'm not sure if I want to convert my guitar into an electro-acoustic. Is it possible to connect the pedal to a microphone in one end and into an amplifier on the other and start doing loops or it has to be an electro-acoustic guitar? Thanks for your channel!

Like i said just a second ago...I'll learn on the rc1 and upgrade when I'm competent enough to use it.

Does send it a click of some sort out of the B output?

Thanks! I think I’ll be buying one. Bought the same PRS SE, fantastic guitar. Great solo.

Yeah, it's a decent guitar. Certainly not perfect though. The volume knobs are in a weird place and the pickups could be replaced with something a bit better. Anyway, thanks a lot. Enjoy your pedal.

Great video, I’m new to your channel, but I’m definitely going to listen to more, and subscribe! Real quick, I’m first time buying a looper, looking at the tc electronic ditto plus, you think the boss pedals are better?

You can find a Ditto new? I had to get mine on eBay for $$$. I have about 4 loopers. The RC-5 and the Ditto X2 are great. The RC-5 is a more fully-featured looper but the Ditto X2 is easier to use.

@@andrewsiemon Thanks so much for your reply. After looking it over, with your feedback in mind I think I will go with the Boss RC5, because of the features, and because the sound reproduction is so much better (32 vs 16 bit), that’s a pretty big deal to me. The multiple features have a learning curve, but after thinking about it, more features means greater flexibility, and I like that. Thanks so much for your reply, it really helped. PS I watched more of your videos, love the content on your channel and your playing is fantastic to listen to.

I appreciate that. The RC-5 is a great pedal and I doubt you'll regret it. Have a good week.

I use to have an rc-5! Loved it! Sold it with some other stuff to get the RC-600! Found that too much for my needs! Sold it! Got an RC-500! Love it and still use it but missed having an RC-5 about and now I re-bought one! Have RC-500 working with Rc-5! You get more flexibility with board space etc. RC-600 is good but I found I hardly used it’s onboard effects because I use my own stuff :)

Video is super good, but the amp… not that good… lol

Just showing the features of one “vs” the other…so it quite literally is.

Yeah i love mine too. Also i picked up a beat buddy, it doesn't loop but the drum linrary is crazy. Plus it has a shit load of songs(drums only) when i give it a second stp it will change to a different part of the song. Its amazing. However the RC5 is will change you into a different level of a guitarist. And the rc5 is affordable too.

I love the simplicity of the rc 1, my only quam is it doesn't sync with the volca series :/.. Because i like the idea of using a drum machine and synth aloneside live loopering, and automating those aswell..

No I have not. Stereo configuration is something I haven't experimented with much.

Well I have both and the RC5 is a bit more expensive and complicated but it has drums 🥁

Yeah it definitely takes a bit to figure out doesn't it? I'm making a video for the RC-5 now. Trying to make it comprehensive.

I like the rc-1 better for a simple looping machine. I use it mostly for texture in songs and adding some space. I don’t use it really specifically for the one man band situation

@andrewsiemon

4 ай бұрын

Right on, I can appreciate that. Loopers can get quite complicated.

I would like rc1 as it's simple to be honest I would never use any of its functions on the rc5 it seems too complex but the rc1 is let down by only being able to store one loop a major drawback for me anyway.

@andrewsiemon

9 ай бұрын

Out of all the loopers I own, the only one that can store multiple loops is the RC-5.

When I’m performing I found the preloaded drums a pain. I’d rather beat out a simple beat on my banjo head.

RC5 for backing tracks

@@marvinachenbach4883 yes you can its essentially just a recording device when using tracks

The distortion on the drum kit is not a plus for the unit. You should get your levels right before you demo.

Surely it's just 4 better 😏🤘

so, the first thing you do is get your Usb PRINTER CABLE (?) to transfer backing tracks...I'm out.

Purchased a Boss RC-5 and the Drum Volume is insanely Loud on every Loop. There is No Global way to reduce the Ear splitting and Speaker-Ruining surge of Drum Volume. Major Flaw. Be Warned.
