Crystal-Clear Sound
Thanks to its 32-bit architecture, the RC-5 captures your tone in incredible detail and keeps every loop clean and defined, no matter how many layers you add. With up to 13 hours of stereo recording time, you’ll have all the space you need to experiment and build entire tracks.
Intuitive Control
The backlit LCD screen gives you a clear view of what’s happening, with colour changes to show whether you’re recording, overdubbing, or playing. A central multi-function knob makes it quick and easy to adjust settings, rhythms, and kits on the fly.
Flexible Setup Options
The RC-5’s footswitch handles all core looping functions, including record, overdub, playback, stop, and undo/redo. For even more control, plug in up to two external footswitches or an expression pedal. MIDI input and output are available via space-saving TRS jacks, making it easy to sync with drum machines, DAWs, or MIDI controllers.
Rhythm and Groove On Demand
Choose from 57 preset rhythms in a variety of styles, paired with seven drum kits for even more versatility. A/B variations let you add natural movement and dynamics, and you can change them from the panel or via MIDI during your performance. The built-in reverse function is ideal for creating ambient textures and unexpected sonic twists.
Loop, Save, Perform
With 99 phrase memories, you can save and recall your loops with ease. Each memory stores your audio along with rhythm and kit settings, so you’re always ready to jump back in. You can also back up your recordings via USB, or load in WAV files using BOSS Tone Studio—perfect for practice material, performance backing tracks, or jam sessions.
