I love your playing and rhythmic enthusiasm. This demo sold me on the RC-500. Laying down a track and then having the RC-500 match the rhythm tempo to the guitar line is an incredible creative tool (Rhythm: Rec End feature). I saw that feature in your demo and got an RC-500. Two weeks later, it far surpasses any expectation. The flexibility and power of this device is next generation looper. The ease of hitting the one with the accurate button/switches makes looping fun and easy. I had timing difficulties with some other brands of loopers, but this Boss unit works right out of the box. I then added a midi controller to give me some more flexibility. Thanks for the demo and thanks for the great music!
Good to hear you are happy with the RC-500, Adam. I am hoping to have one in my hands this week and also ordered a midi controller for it (got the airstep). Good to know others have been happy with it all! Jay makes it look so easy.
Amazing demo Jay! It's beautiful to see a musician that's actually happy and smiley, instead of bored and buried in technical details. Made my day! Please keep up the amazing work!!
I don't think anyone has more fun playing guitar than you Jay. Paul Gilbert might be close lol. Subscribed because your energy and the fun you have playing is an inspiration to play more! Keep em' coming!
It's like a 'new' band member that shows up on time, stays sober, and shuts up when you're trying to get a point accross. 😂 Tree-fiddy??? Pffft... Priceless! I'm late, but excellent demo man!
Was coming for the looper but am amazed by the GT1000-core. Boss just rocks this year (or since the -200 series back years), thanks for the demo!! Awesome playing! Cheers
Every single thing you play feels just right! You are probably the tightest player on the internet, together with Mark Lettieri. If you were new to the looping world what would you buy? RC-1? RC-5? RC-10R? Or that RC-500?
It's been a while since I've used the rhythm function, but I'm pretty it is an automatic function If you set the start perameter to "REC END". Good luck.
So who do you guys think is the winner between this and the RC10R? Also, you’re amazing player Jay! You inspire me to create. Keep them coming. I’m subscribed!
Hello, I have a boss rc10R loopstation, there is a build in drummachine that syncs to the audio loop but the problem is that at the end of every round the drums plays a ending cymbal and this cymbal repeats every round.., it becomes very anoying after a while and ruins the music, the pedal gives no option to switch the cymbal of... on the NEW RC5 loopstation there is a function to mute certatin drum sounds and that is nice but COULD you make a software update for the RC10R that also inlcudes the option to mute drum sounds? that would be very nice and a lot of people would really apreciate that, I have 2 x RC10R loopstation pedals that i never use cause of the anoying crash cymbal... PLEASE HELP ME!!! make a a software fix for that... thank you and all the best for 2021 carlos vamos
Ok... THAT WAS CRAZY!!!!!! I had no idea it had those FX on it. It wasn't listed or advertised on the official site/channel or in any of the other videos i watched. (Multiple like you said. lol) I'm sold... I'm ordering one today!
Can you tell me what the effect paddle is you use to switch. And HOW can you kevel the volume for all the different layers? Hope you can help. Your demo is appetizing and very appealing. I bought the machine!
Hi, congratulations for the video! A question, can I use the external pedal (BOSS FS-7 or FS-6) to start (and possibly stop) a backig track (a .wav file saved in "track" memory)? Thank you.
i just bought the RC500 and noticed an immediate problem. when i record a loop in either track and alter the tempo even slightly, it cause the loop soung to distort as a warble. i've updated the system version to 1.02 and turned off all loop FX, still the same problem. i've contacted Boss and waiting for an answer. do i have a defective unit or is this a product design defect?
In theory yes but in the past midi sync was not always possible with older loopers that could do this in theory also... I am curious to know whether somebody already tried this with the rc 500...
Hi everyone! I have an issue with RC-5 & Rc-505. When using the loopers as midi clock slave devices, synced to Maschine software, there are glitches / artefacts all over the place. BOSS recommends to turn Tempo Sync off for each track to avoid those issues, but this led to another issue (tracks start / skip bars / stop randomly). SO that was not a solution. I have contacted BOSS about this, they said they tested it with Ableton and it works fine, but in general their loopers dont like to be slaved. However, no matter how i put the MIDI settings on the looper, nothing helps. Is this also the case with RC-500?
I just found your channel while looking for 500 reviews. Damn son, Boss needs to ditch their demo videos and just link this. Best demo without all the blah blah on the Tube of You'ers.
Where does this place the RC-10R now? At only €10 more on thomman, this seems like the smarter buy. Is there something I'm missing that puts the RC-10R as a standout over this? Also great demo as always!
Whoa this is actually freaking amazing. I just did a looper performance on my page but I’m working my way up to this skill level right here(.....gunna be a bit of a climb lol) and your a single coil guy? Telecaster for life man 🤙🤙 you inspire me and make me want to quit at the same time lol
Great demo....great loop skills...I have a question...can you use the loop effects without an external foot Swich?...I mean can you use the pedal buttons to activate it?...
Hi great Demo just need to know when you use the rhythm while recording a loop and come to save it does it save the the rhythm as well as the guitar playing .Been looking for this info but cant seem to find an answer Thanks
Thanks for the demo! What I'm finding with the auto rhythm is if you play anything below ~80bpm, it doubles the speed and plays the drums in 150 and up... I'm hoping they can fix this in a firmware... or am I doing something wrong?
Personally, I find the RC 500's FX's as a big 'meh'. Maybe it's my retro heart that dislikes those. What I'd really like to see Jay.... is you setting up what this machine is meant for... doing a Verse and Chorus and how this thing switches and it's variations. Even the manual doesn't touch that info. And folks if you buy this do yourself a favor and go to the Boss website immediately and download the Parameter Guide. Which incidentally Boss says nothing about ?? Lots of mysteries with this thing that needs videos.
Im still trying to work out how to use it for drums and a loop just for guitar solo. I bought to play live, but now Im thinking it cant do what I want it to. I basically want it as drums, and mid-song guitar loop for the guitar solo. -Start a song on guitar -Start drums -Record a Verse loop (to solo over later) -Start loop and solo> Stop loop -play out the rest of the song -Stop drums Any tips very much appreciated!
You can unpair the drum machine and looper by holding on the second footswitch till the LED lights change color. That way you can start and stop your guitar loop without effecting the drum machine.
If you enable the function, the RC-500 will recognize your loop tempo and automatically change its internal tempo to match your loop 👍

Hi Mathew, excuse me for this question, but did you figure it out? I'm going crazy here, 'cause I cannot seem to find 'the function'. I would love to set the recording-pedal in standby for recording, then set the tempo by playing the guitar and then let the drums fill in....just like the video For now I cannot find 'the function' Any help is really appreciated, Thanks!
@ Did you have any luck finding out how this works? I have the same question. Would be very grateful if anyone could help. Thanks!

Finally a clear answer to the RC 10's disappointment. Can the drum machine sync or change its tempo with your composed chord progression. That is all that I wanted to know. Thanks for giving us a straight and clear answer.
This demo is waaayyy better than that of official BOSS channel
That intro track was so sick!
Thanks!
Well damn Jay, how are any of us meant to follow that?
I think my demo will just be a direct link to this video.
Excellent work.

A lot of youtubers need to take note of this format, play first, talk after.
A lot of those who do need to remember not to play too long at the beginning.
@@theystoleitfromus unless its slaps like this. then keep on playing.getting goosies listening
Amazing demo Jay! It's beautiful to see a musician that's actually happy and smiley, instead of bored and buried in technical details. Made my day! Please keep up the amazing work!!
Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Sweet licks and comprehensive looping. I’m glad to see someone breeze through the looping functions effortlessly while having fun!
Great opening jam 😎
I don't think anyone has more fun playing guitar than you Jay. Paul Gilbert might be close lol. Subscribed because your energy and the fun you have playing is an inspiration to play more! Keep em' coming!
I really appreciate it. Thanks for sub'ing!
If you have the enthusiasm and skill set that Jay has, you dont need this pedal😆. Yeah Jay! Shooootzzz!🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

😂 Tree-fiddy??? Pffft... Priceless!
I'm late, but excellent demo man!
That intro demo was AMAZING, great job!!
Thanks so much!
I had so many questions about this unit and your demo answered everything way better than the Boss demos. Great video, looks like a lot of fun 😊
Haha, really appreciate it!
Man what the hell you doing on UA-cam you need to be on a stage somewhere?!
I don't think he liked the pedal. He looked completely miserable while playing with it.
your childlike joy is infectious, Jay! such a fun demo!
Thanks so much!
Was coming for the looper but am amazed by the GT1000-core. Boss just rocks this year (or since the -200 series back years), thanks for the demo!! Awesome playing! Cheers
Best pedal review i've seen after Nick and Juan's channel!!!
Have one in the way just keep eating up these vids. Great demo Jay, I’m a believer!!
Wow! Thank you for this. What an awesome inspiring video.
Jay, You R Da BOSS (MAN).
Haha, thanks!
Finally this adress the issue with rc10r
yesss I hope they will fix it....
Excellent playing and excellent demo .....!!
Sick loops, holy moly
I bought this looper because of this video and it is awesome. Why didn't I buy it before. Thank you man and the engineers
I really appreciate it! Glad this video helped you find what you were looking for :)
Awesome! Always like your Demo video!
Loved the intro. Superb playing
Dude... no one has this much fun doing a demo. Wildy infectious :)
Man o man! I’m sold
Wow why can't all demos be this awesome and joyously infectious? Nice work bro
Digging this man, you've got a great vibe. Can you recommend an easy to use midi pedal to go with the RC500? cheers
I bought one and i can't play any of that shit, I want my money back.😜
You deserve way more subs J
I appreciate it!
Every single thing you play feels just right! You are probably the tightest player on the internet, together with Mark Lettieri.
If you were new to the looping world what would you buy? RC-1? RC-5? RC-10R? Or that RC-500?
Nice jam!!!
Dang!!! Sold man! Jay killin it as usual!
Serious talent!! Awesome demonstration !! Makes me want one 👍
Great demo Jay, dig it!!!
Thanks!
This is too good 😭. What’s the foot switch name that can act as a repeater
Dude, you are a G
Thanks!
how do you make it follow your tempo at ? 5:25
It's been a while since I've used the rhythm function, but I'm pretty it is an automatic function If you set the start perameter to "REC END". Good luck.
you're a wizard lol, got me sold on it. again
Thanks so much!!
Anybody want to buy my RC505? They got the effects and tricks from that in this box. This is really cool. Helps to have a kick butt demonstrator also.
Brilliant Demo mate
What settings do I need to match the guitar tempo with the drums please.?
Hi Jay, Great video! May I ask how you set the kit to sync with your loop tempo as seen at 5:35?
in RHYTHM put START to REC END
So who do you guys think is the winner between this and the RC10R?

Such a great demo and enjoyable funky jams!
i just bought the RC500 and noticed an immediate problem. when i record a loop in either track and alter the tempo even slightly, it cause the loop soung to distort as a warble.

Can the RC-500 midi out be used to control the Beat Buddy tempo?
In theory yes but in the past midi sync was not always possible with older loopers that could do this in theory also... I am curious to know whether somebody already tried this with the rc 500...
Can you connect two mono inputs at same time and route one for track 1 and the other for track 2?
Yup!

I bought RC-10R... some serious floors. don’t bother. Get this .
Wow its awsome..but its very expensive for..iwish i have like that🙏
I have almost no sound when I connect it to stereo fx loop.
Can you please advise?
that's not fair, boss doesn't sell the talent along with the looper ....
I can make this looper sound like a 10 yr old looper :D
What kinda settings do you use so the drums follow the your tempo?
You are fun, I bet hanging with you would be so much fun.

can you mute input monitoring? so i can use as a loop fx with a mixer?
Great demo....great loop skills...I have a question...can you use the loop effects without an external foot Swich?...I mean can you use the pedal buttons to activate it?...
I believe so! You can reprogram the switches to perform almost any role you want them to :)
Are these effects available standard with GT1000 core? I can’t find all Dependsble
Look up my Artist Collection in the Boss Tone Central Section of the GT-1000 app. I think Ol' Dependable is there :)

Hiya Jay... Do you know if the RC-500 can be set to use the two different tracks separately to compose & trigger between a bridge & chorus?
great review.. are they gonna fix this rhythm problem sync with rc 10 r automatically sync with playing..
Brilliant. If the RC-500 had the drum fill capability from the RC-10R it would be perfect.
one year after RC10 for the same money!? In the meantime 1 small fw update for the rc10. sorry boss but this is bad!
That video just sold a ton of these. Excellent example of why we buy gear...you clearly had a great time. Cheers!
