Boss RC-30 Loop Station

The Boss RC-30 is a twin pedal multitrack looper with two synchronized stereo tracks. It offers up to three hours of loop recording time via internal memory and the ability to record up to 99 phrases. It features stereo instrument inputs and an XLR input (with phantom power) for instrument and vocal looping, plus on-board effects, rhythm patterns and USB connectivity.

Vocalists can plug a microphone directly into the RC-30’s XLR mic input (with phantom power). You can sing, overdub, and make multi-layered loops of your voice, create vocal sound-effects patterns, or even use a microphone to record your acoustic instruments.

To keep your loops tight and in time, play along with one of the basic rhythm patterns in the RC-30’s onboard library as you record. Ten types of rhythm types are provided, including Rock, Pop, Funk, Shuffle, R&B, and Latin. A dedicated knob lets you adjust the volume of the rhythm, and you can set the tempo via tap tempo.
