I like many things about this looper, but there is at least one major flaw (hopefully a bug that will be fixed). When doing sequential loops for track 1 and 2, if you turn loop sync off (which you have to do for sequential, single track looping), it also seems to disable tempo sync, even if you have it turned on. What that means is your loop will get out of sync with the drums. If you’re like me, and do live looping where you loop a verse (track 1), then a chorus/bridge(track 2) etc, this will cause major issues making the device mostly unusable. It’s impossible to do a 4 measure loop for track 1 and a 10 measure loop for track 2 while having these stay in sync with drums when switching back and forth. Other than the above issue, it would be nice if instead of turning rhythm parts on off to be able to adjust the volume of each. The LCD could be larger. Mostly, I’m having to use this two track looper as a single track looper because of the problem above. That’s pretty disappointing, because I’m coming from an old 3 track looper (Boss RC-50) that had no problem keeping the sequentially played tracks in sync with its drums. If Boss fixes the Tempo Sync issue, I’ll change this to a 5 star rating, but because of the issue can only give 3 stars for now.

I almost returned this unit because of some issues, but I’ve decided to keep it. I’ve listed my pros and cons below (kind of long). Pros • Pedals are angled and well positioned for stomping – no audible click • Easy to navigate menus once you figure out what you’re looking for • The ability to change pedal assignments helps a lot – I don’t much like the default • Sounds great • I like being able to quantize as my timing, currently, sucks • Mic capability • Lots of memory and save slots • Helps with guitar lessons • No more jam tracks needed • Just a really good looper Cons • The bottom of the unit does not have any rubber feet so it slides all over (not trying the little ones that come with the unit until I truly decide to keep it). • Weird, semi-useless effects • There are a lot of rhythms but they all sound very similar. I don’t understand why the rhythm tracks cannot be taken from the RC-10R, which had a better rhythm suite. • Serial tracks – both loops have to have the same number of measures. You can multiply the measures (if I have a 4 bar loop I can make the other loop 4, 8, 16, etc., measures). There’s no way to finesse different length measures; so if your verse and chorus aren’t the same length you can’t use this. I’d return it but I have done extensive research on loopers, and unless I want to cough up the massive price tag for an Aeros, I can find nothing compatible except for the Electro Harmonix 22500, which seems very fiddly and difficult to use (I've read the manual twice and my mind is made up unless someone can change it). So if you're thinking of buying this, I’d say go for it. The irritations, to me, aren’t deal breakers, but BOY do I wish they’d tied up the loose ends with this thing.

Está lleno de errores de fábrica, errores del software, que en resumen tuve que hacer la devolución del pedal. Son errores que tal vez puedan arreglarse con alguna actualización, pero conociendo a Boss, no quiero correr el riesgo de quedarme el pedal y que nunca se arregle. Tengo la RC300 y la única ventaja que veo de la RC500 frente a la 300, es la calidad del sonido de los ritmos y los diferentes kits, fuera de eso no vale la pena: sólo cuenta con 2 pistas, todas las funciones están dentro del menú digital (no puedes controlar prácticamente nada con perillas externas al momento), por ejemplo, sólo para subir el volumen tienes que entrar y buscar entre muchas opciones hasta llegar al "volumen". Cuando terminas de grabar un loop existe un pequeño desfase en el que se queda en mute y se nota que la "computadora" está analizando y tardando en responder para comenzar a emitir el sonido. Ni que decir para grabar bucles posteriores, tienes que pisar en el microsegundo exacto para que respete el tamaño del loop, si no, extiende la extensión del tiempo (por ejemplo, grabo la pista 1 {4 tiempos}, todo bien, pero al momento de grabar en la pista 2, si no piso el pedal en el nanosegundo exacto, me crea un loop mucho más largo {8 tiempos} en el que la mitad no se reproduce nada y la otra mitad tiene el sonido grabado). En fin, es un verdadero dolor de cabeza y una pérdida de tiempo tratar de hacerlo funcionar. Me sigo quedando con mi viejo y confiable RC300, que es más estable, tiene 3 pistas, pedal de expresión, pedal start/stop general, Loop efx pedal integrado (asignable a otras funciones), entrada para CTL 1 y 2, entrada para CTL 3 y 4, Interface USB para grabar en la computadora, AUX in, Input de audífonos, ufff, no hay punto de comparación. Y sí, es mucho más grande y pesado, pero, créanme, aunque el RC500 es más pequeño y liviano, todos sus errores no valen la pena.

I am new to looping and wanted to try it out. I am not good enought to perform yet, but I am having so much fun with this unit! I was slightly intimidated by all the buttons and knobs which provide access to pretty much any option you could think of, but after watching a few YouTube videos I am very confident configuring the device. If you are looking for a way to get into looping, or need something capable of professional performances, this is perfect....and lots of fun!

This thing is amazing. Great sounds and pristine looping. I had an extra foot switch to help with live performance. It has a learning curve , still figuring it out. I definitely recommend having an acoustic amp or pa to route rhythm to . Highly recommended!!!

I don't like the way this pedal is designed. Too much knob and button tweaking for my taste. The Jazz/Swing rhythm's included are just terrible and they are not very customizable at all. You can change one or two elements but the same basic pattern is always there.
