How to use the BOSS RC-10R Rhythm Loop Station


Craft full songs complete with drums





The BOSS RC-10R Rhythm Loop Station Pedal comes loaded with over 280 onboard rhythm styles, covering rock, pop, Latin, jazz, electronic, and much more. Each rhythm offers two distinct song sections, two fills for lifelike transitions, and intro/outro fills to complete your arrangement. And because the serial two-track loop engine is perfectly synced to the rhythm engine, capturing performances that flow together naturally is a simple affair. Of course, you're also able to create two independent loops with no rhythmic accompaniment if you wish. Musicians at Sweetwater also like using the RC-10R simply as a foot-controlled drum machine for practice sessions.





Setting a new standard for BOSS loop stations





BOSS loop stations have been some of the most popular looping solutions for decades, and the BOSS RC-10R Rhythm Loop Station Pedal takes that refined workflow and adds top-notch electronics. The loop engine is based around 32-bit converters with 32-bit floating-point processing, capturing the full depth of your tone and every nuance of your performance.





Built-in optimization for multiple playback systems





Dual outputs allow the RC-10R Rhythm Loop Station Pedal to feed both a guitar or bass amplifier and a full-range speaker simultaneously. This means you'll be able to use your favorite amp to shape your tone, while sending the rhythm track to a full-range playback system. But what if you don't have the option of using two speakers? The RC-10R has the clever option to filter just your instrument or just the drums, to optimize them for combined playback through a single speaker. In other words, you can tweak the drum tracks to sound "right" when played through your amp, or you can tweak the loop tracks to sound more amp-like when played through a full-range speaker.
