I had a lot of fun putting this together. I hope you get something from watching this and that you may be inspired to get looping yourself.
All the very best,
until the next video. ;-)

Boss should have added a disclaimer that the talent demonstrated here has nothing to do with the pedal
Hahahah thank you mate, great comment. 😂👍
This is the greatest looper demo I have ever seen
Thank you very much Bill. All the best ;-)
Nah, it’s only the greatest loop demo ever made.
Absolutely phenomenal! You sell this pedal better than boss!
Stunning playing also.
Thank you very much mate. :)
This what the official product demo should've been. So clear and to the point
Thank you mate, I'm glad you like it. All the best. 👍🎸
never thought a simple loop pedal can be used in such smooth performance...
This makes me so happy knowing this is post recent injuries.
Thank you very much Scott, much appreciated. ;-)
Damn, two birds with one stone. A product demo, and a good high level overview on all the possibilities of looping. Nice. Thanks man. I'll try it out one day and let you know.
THank you mate, I'm glad it was useful for you. All the best 👍🎸🙏
Alex, this is so inspirational, in just a couple of days I have been able to incorporate several of the techniques you presented here to really freshen up my love for playing and also for getting my jam buddies excited for some collaborations. You are a true blessing, thanks and God Bless
Hey Darrin, you're very welcome. I'm so pleased you've enjoyed the lesson. All the very best and good luck with your musical endeavours. 👍
Hey Alex I own the RC-3 looper! It has taught me get amount. I recommend it for anyone who wants to become a musician. All Roland/Boss pedals are the BOSS, especially when you demo them! Roland/Boss couldn't have picked a better representative for their products. Thanks for the great presentation of this pedal and the others. Peace ✌🏻 my good friend. Dana E💫
Dope! Been listening to this on a loop. No pun intended😂
I can barely get a single layer/loop to start/stop on a dime let alone be maestro over an opus like this. Bravo, sir!! Sounding superb per usual!
Thank you mate, it takes a while to get used to it at the beginning but once you get the knack you'll be jamming in no time... 👍😎🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Hi Alex, nice demo and great playing. Can you use the foot pedal to switch between memory patches when playing on the RC-5 or can you only do that with the external footswitch?
They did it! That actually freaking did it! GT-1000 in a compact housing! That's it... I'm sold.
Oh yeah, great playing as always, man. :)
Yes mate they did. I've just released a demo on it too.. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/2kjI2PxTWso/v-deo.html
Thx for watching,
I feel like my grooviness level just went up ten fold...very nice!
Thank you mate.
Crazy skills.
THank you mate.
Very interesting video. Thank you so much! I do a lot of loops too. Personally, I use the RC5 for quick, everyday fun. But as soon as I want to get a little more elaborate loops, I go directly to my Push 2 (Ableton Live). But in this case, you have to switch to software... For hardware, I recommend the RC5 to everyone!
Sir Alex the great 🙏🙏🙏🙏❣
Cheers man. 👍
Absolutely love this!! I just ordered a rc5 after watching this, if I could get just 1% of your groove I’d be happy!
Utterly amazing Alex , finger back in action now....🎸🤗👏👏
Thanks barry yes getting better than I was 3-4 months ago... Thank goodness. 👍🎸🙏
I am learning a lot of this looping boss, thank you for your video
My pleasure I'm glad you found it useful 👍🙏🎸
Absolutely filthy when you kick it on for the last solo!
Cheers JAck... Glad you enjoyed it. ;-)
Way cool demo. I've had my RC-5 for just a short time. Thanks for showing me what it'll really do.
Awesome Demo I was debating between RC-1 and RC-5 newer is not always better sometimes it just provides Greater options. The RC-5 is as close to Limitless as you can possibly need with out playing with a Full Band! Sold!!
WOW.
Thank you very much 👍🎸🙏
Not only a great demo on the new RC-5, but your playing and tone is freakin awesome! Now excuse me while I go and order this new pedal!
Thank you Mark, much appreciated. 👍🎸🙏
Unique sense of rythm and cool melodies..God give you that gift. Congrats!
Thank you very much. All the best 🙏
Fukcing brilliant... That's how to use the RC5!!! 👌✌️😎
Cheers mate 👍🙏🎸
love it, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic video! Great to see you playing again and having fun with gears.
Glad you enjoyed it! All the best
Here is the question I need answered. My trio has been using the Digitech stereo looper and we have created about 50 percussion tracks on that device. I also have these 16 bit 44.1 WAV files backed up on my computer. We have switched to creating percussion loops (usually one measure), in Presonus Studio One 5. I am very dissatisfied with the Digtech software (which has not been updated for years) because it will not recognize the SO loops for transfer to a memory location on the looper. I need to be able to copy these phrases over to the RC-5 and have each one assigned to a specific memory location so if I need a specific loop, say a bossa nova rhythm, I can go to that specific location ex. loop # 15, and activate that loop while we play.
This is probably not the typical purpose of a looper but it works really well for us. 99 memory locations will give us more space than we need and loop length is not a consideration. We just need to be able to bring up a specific phrase and have it loop as we play. Can that be done with this device thru the USB connection and is there software that comes with the RC-5 that allows that transfer from computer to the device. Thanks.
Hey John, thanks for watching, i've not done this specifically with the RC-5 yet, but I'm 99% sure you can do exactly what you described. I used to do that with the RC-300 using backing tracks made from my computer. It simply showed up as a hard drive and I dragged the files into the relevant memory slot and hey presto..it was in the pedal! So in short yes I reckon this'll do just what you need it too. All the best mate
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Thanks very much for your quick response. One more related question. . I was just looking at the manual and it says that the device is turned on by plugging the instrument in. However, we just need to connect the RC-5 (as I do now with the Digitech) into my Bose mixer which is then connected to my Bose L1 Compact PA. and play whatever loop we need, all of which will be loaded into the device via the software I can download from Boss.. I also plug my guitar into the Bose mixer. I do not need or want to plug it into the RC-5 but it appears there is no on/off switch. With the Digitech you just turn it on. Do you think if I just plugged a 1/4 cable into the jack with no instrument attached the device would turn on so we could play our loops from the RC-5. I guess if I had to I could plug another guitar in and not play it but maybe there is some "dummy" 1/4 jack plug out there I could use. Again, thanks for taking the time to respond. What did we do before UA-cam :)
@@johnpower2018 I've not got an RC-5 (yet), but it's exactly the same as my RC-1: The unit powers on when you insert the cable into the OUTPUT side, not the input side. If you search for an image of the RC-5, you'll see on the left hand side of the pedal above "OUTPUT A (Mono)" it says "Power On". So if you're just using the RC-5 as a source of backing tracks you should be good, with no need to insert anything into the input side. Then just remove the cable from output A to turn off the unit.
@@peterperson1 thank you very much. That takes care of that.
That was amazing! I am getting my RC-5 tomorrow, and am watching this to learn a little more about it. It will be my first looper, and I am crazy excited. Thank you for making this amazingness for me to feel jealous before even knowing if I am any good. Also, what guitar are you playing? It wasn't in the description and it was gorgeous. I may primarily be a bassist, but I play a good amount of guitar too.
Hey thanks so much, I'm very pleased to hear you're excited and this video will be useful for you. My guitar is a NuVo Tele by Waghorn guitars. Each one is made by hand and shipped worldwide. Here's some info for ya... Wishing you all the best and I hope you enjoy using your new looper. facebook.com/waghornguitars/posts/introducing-the-waghorn-nuvo-the-latest-model-in-the-waghorn-arsenal-this-is-a-m/1783891114992273/
I think I'm not the only one that bought a loop pedal because of your older review videos... Ajajjajaja love this vid a lot too!
Cheers man. 👍😎🎸🙏
I really dig your playing. Great looper demo too.
Thank you mate 👍🙏🎸
I could watch you do this for hours
All you can do is......amazing!
Thank you Bob.
I finally decided to purchase a decent looper for the firs time, and i kinda wish i waited a little. i have NO clue on how to use this very well at all, and the instructions leave quite a bit to be desired. I wish there were some decent "how to" video's on the RC-5 specifically , but there isn't any yet. That is why i wished i waited a while, so i knew how to use it!!!
instead i get to fumble around and stare at the manual and check back on UA-cam every few days and hope someone has added a how to video, but nothing yet. BUMMER!
I know this thing has some serious capabilities, but i just dont know how to do much of it... Someone please do a thorough instructional video please!!!!!
Hey Nathan, Cool that you've got hold of this great looper and sorry to hear you're having some difficulty, I'll certainly consider doing some mroe how to videos in the near future probably next month hopefully... But for now here are some videos explaining the basic on the RC-1 and the RC-3 which are the predecessors and the RC-5 follows exactly the same process at the beginning. I hope it helps for now.... Lesson starts at 1:00 min in ua-cam.com/video/wkWDjAwDQuY/v-deo.html and here's and older one too for the sake of variation... ua-cam.com/video/s_reDQGjIaY/v-deo.html All the very best
So cool. Thanx for sharing....
Cheers mate, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Was it hard to learn to use ? Excellent demo. Straight to the bones.no waffling 👍👍👍
Cheers John, no mate it wasn't hard to learn at all pretty intuitive... To be fair I've owned a looper for over 15 years so I do have some experience but once you get the hang of the basic technique the rest is pretty straight forward. All the best and thanks for watching. ;-)
Uncredible pedal!
Great demo. Seriously, I hope BOSS wrote you a nice fat check for this!
Amazing... [quickly throws away Ditto and gives up].
Thank you mate, don't give up though... Keep going brother. ;-)
Nice spoken part. I would have flubbed that line.
Oh, and masterful playing, as usual.
😂🤣 Thanks mate. 👍
Just wow!
Thank you CES 👍😎
Merci Alex !! 👏🏻😎👍
My pleasure. I'm glad you enjoyed it. All the best 👍
Alex hucthings um dos melhores do mundo 👏👏👏
Here I am barely keeping up with scales and fretboard knowledge and now I have to throw in pedal management into the mix. I don't have enough brain power lol awesome demo Alex!
Whoah GT-1000 what?! Haven't seen it yet! Love that form factor. Much more competitive with the other brands.
Thanks mate. It's called GT-1000 Core I'll try to get a demo up of it tomorrow. Thx for watching 😎👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic I was hoping that was forthcoming. Granted I guess it sounds exactly like the big GT-1000. Looking forward to the vid.
Wow
Cheers mate.
@@AlexHutchingsMusic yohoo thanks Alex!
Hi Alex. Very nice and you manage to exploit the potential of the loop in excellent way. It has always fascinated me but i have never fully understood how to use it. Thanks for the video. All the best
My pleasure, it's definitely fun using a loop pedal but I do understand not for everybody.... Maybe you should try again? I'll try to do another explanation video soon to help you and others who would like to try.
Even starting with just level 1 is good. In fact here's one i did a few years ago. ua-cam.com/video/wkWDjAwDQuY/v-deo.html All the best 😎👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Ok Alex. I will look again carefully at the video you reported to me. Thank you very much
You are very well! Please show me, how can i turn off power rc5. Thank!
Thank you mate. You must unplug the output jack cable to turn off.... I hope it helps and all the best. 👍
Alex at lvl 100. thats why it looks so easy for him.
Hahah not, quite but thank you for the compliment... 👍😉
I wish the stop function wouldn't stop so abruptly but keep going to the last beat automatically or ring out a bit
Wow never mind the looper do you do tutorials on those far out scales man oh yeah very tasty!! Back to the looper nice pedal I’m havin one of them for sure 👍🎸👌
Hello mate, thanks for watching and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. As it happens I do have a pretty comprehensive tutorial all about how I improvise and the scales I use here the link to the store... The most recent is called Approach to Improvising... I'd say Vol 1-3 is around a years worth of lessons if not more. ;-) jtcguitar.com/store/artist/alex-hutchings/
Also I hope you'll enjoy your pedal when you get it... All the very best
@@AlexHutchingsMusic thanks for replying mate will have a look at those tutorials for sure, awesome and inspirational stuff!!! All the best to you too 😊👍🙏
@@neilmcleanmusic You're welcome mate, I hope you'll enjoy the lessons. All the very best and thanks for watching. 👍🎸
Great Demo and play as always Alex!! You are the best....cheers from BOSS Brasil!!!! 🤟🏼🔥💙
Musicianship: LEVEL 10!
Trousers: Erm...
Thanks for watching 😉👍
I will buy it tomorrow...........................this Alex Hutchings
It's fantastic what you can create with that.
Awesome👍
Glad you like it and thx for watching 👍
Looks like I’m currently on level 9 - need to master level 10. 👍🏻
Awesome, Keep going John.... Cheers for watching. ;-)
Great Job. Sir (Y)
Thank you very much. ;-)
You have so mutch talent Alex! I hope that your fingers have recovered.
Thanks so much mate. Still a little sore but I'm definitely getting better, thank you . All the best 👍🙏
Hi @Alex Hutchings. Can you please make video with connecting a midi sync drum machine like a Beat Buddy ?
Hi mate, great idea, I'll see what I can do, I've got other videos I'm woking on for now , but perhaps I can work a more in depth demo into the schedule. Thanks for watching mate. 👍
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Thanks a lot mate. You are the best. hope you finish your other video's soon. I have a beat buddy from singular sound and also some friends of mine are waiting for a demo. . I've recommended your channel. Thank you once again.. Love & Peace :)
Insane!!!!!!!!!! Love it!
Your video comes at a perfect time for me as I'm looking for a new looper pedal. The particular feature I'm having trouble finding in a looper pedal is quantize. or a "snap to grid" function as you'd find in a DAW which automatically aligns the beginning of each layer you add to the beginning of the measure. Does the RC5 do this and if not, do you know of another looper that does? Thanks
Yo man, yes this does have exactly that... You can predetermined the tempo and set it to loop in a one 2 3 4 bar phrase for example or simply set it to quantise too... So hopefully that'll help you out mate. ;-)
RESPECT SIR ALWAYS GREAT ❤
Cheers very much,
Meet Alex H, . . . . Master Looper Extraordinaire.
Cheers Steve. 😎👍
Don't forget the part about becoming an incredible guitar player first. That helps things fall into place 😂
Wow, sounds cool!
Cheers mate. ;-)
Sounds fantastic! You make it look way too easy. Do you have an opinion on the sound quality of the drums? Would they be useful in a live situation or are they more of a practice tool?
Thanks mate, the drums are definitely cool and could be used live but of course it's really a matter of opinion and depends on what the gig is. Certainly they are a fantastic practice tool and are pretty inspiring to play to. It's really amazing what they can squeeze into these units these days. ;-) All the best
AMAZING !!!
THank you Francisco. ;-)
What level would it be when you start adding more instruments say keyboard or a beat with a microphone?
amazing!
Great demo!! I have some doubt. I come from the infinity looper and I change few days ago to the boss rc 5 because I reduce the side of my pedalboard. I use ableton as a midi master clock for the looper and I use to Record at the start of the next measure after the switch has been pressed. That's work perfect in the infinity but I don't see this option in the Boss. Is a basic feature with midi so probably I don't find the way in the menu. How can I do this or similar with the RC 5?
Better than my loops on my boss me70 lol. Cheers !
Yes they have become very sophisticated these days. Thx for watching 👍
Hi Alex.
Please tell me, are the cables you use here are rts stereo cables?
Great video and playing!
I also have an rc5 and I would like to use the USB midi, but it somehow doesn't work for me. I have my rc5 connected to my laptop with my daw open (cubase 12) but my midi instruments and recorded audio won't playback through my amp. Any idea on what could be the problem here? I would highly appreciate the help, as I couldn't find anything on the internet.
This is the full version of the manual for the Boss RC-5. Apparently it's not listed on Boss's USA website.
static.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/RC-5_reference_eng01_W.pdf
Nice one, all the best 👍😎
Very beautiful, now I had one!! But it's very difficult for me the correct wiring with amli and guitar.. too many holes!! Can you help me?
Awesome .. got myself one already.
Do you know is there a possibility to replace rhythm with my own drums&beats?
Cool, I'm not sure you can mess directly with the internal beat but of course you could store any wav of any drum beat to play over? Just an idea. Thanks for watching and have fun. 👍🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Gotta hack a RC-5 somehow. I need my beats to be separated from recorded parts.
@@AlexHutchingsMusic Hey by the way do you have a true stereo on your RC-5? I’m asking because on mine there is a little bit of left going in the right channel and a little bit of right going into left channel. Especially on loud volume you can hear it. I don’t really understand is it with all RC-5 or is just mine not working correctly.
Superb video! Can you stop it pressing just once with an external footswitch instead of pressing twice?
Boss needs to FIX the Drum Volume. There is No Way to Globally Reduce the Massive Drum Volume. I know several people who have nearly-blown-speakers. There should be-a-way to Reduce the Drum Volume on the entire unit. This was a major Glitch.
Topp
Can I do This tips of looking with the boss Rc-3?
Thank you Sir! Please show me, how can i adjusted up and down volume of rhythm (Drum) on RC5 pedal. I feel the sound of Drum is too loud for the guitar volume. I want down volume of Drum, while keeping the guitar volume, i hope you can help me. Thank a lot!
Please check from 7:04 I show you in this video. Hope it helps. All the best 👍
Gr8 video Alex 👍👍
Thanks Jonnie. 😎👍
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'm looking for a loop pedal where I can have at least 2 parts to the song, so like a verse and a chorus, is this capable? Great playing Alex,
Hi there, Thanks for watching. I would say the RC-500 might be more appropriate for real time looping.... All the best 👍
Am I seeing this syncing to midi? I can see a scenario where I can play with a live drummer and have my loop stay in time using a midi beat for us both.
It does, yes. Uses the mini TRS jacks from the 200 series.
Yep, I used the USB Midi start stop to control the Laptop. Thx for watching.
Great stuff, as always :) Looks like your hands are doing much better than a couple months ago when you broke your fingers. Is there still pain or discomfort when playing ?
Thx mate. Yes I still have some discomfort in both fingers but I've been working through it as best I can, it's great to finally be playing again. Thanks for watching 👍
Because there is no auto save when changing memory, it's really limited to a 1 phrase/memory per jam. Yeah, you can stop and press save, but this is FAIL city for if you want play with 2 phrases saved for 1 song/jam. Limits your on the go options.
Hi, is the rc5 analogue dry through?
If only Robert Johnson had one..... yet he was lucky enough to have the tech that he had....
Holy moly - the only thing missing was the "BUY HERE" link at the end (I"m assuming royalty negotiations with BOSS are underway haha). It looks like you can store your loops with all layers. I noticed you "added" drums. Is it possible to have the drums recorded and stored with your loop/song or it's an add only feature? And most importantly, if you have a link to where we can buy your music, will you please add it?! I'm a huge fan of the body of your work with JTC Guitar. Have you ever considered coordinating with TrueFire? This would definitely provide more accessibility to your teaching to your American fanbase. :-)
Hello mate, and thank you for your very kind words. In fact I don't have any royalty situation with Boss at all, that would be cool if I did. ;-) Regarding drums, yes I added the inbuilt drums but of course you could prerecord anything you wanted and load it into any of the 99 memory slots... ;-) So acoustic drum kit string quartet or a full track from Slayer or something... Anything you can think of. I've seen some true fire stuff and yes they do look like a cool company for sure.... Thanks for your suggestions mate. All the best
Does it have an undo function in case you made a mistake?
Yep it certainly does. thats on Level 6 on think. Thanks for watching.
great video my man. just curious, what do i do with the additional input and output jack (channel B)? I have a katana 100 and will be plugging in through channel A. appreciate ur feedback and new sub here ! thank you
When you shift loop it will Play till its end and play new one automatically?
Could you possibly develop a step by step video on using the Boss RC-5 "without" the other pedals? It's extremely difficult for me and perhaps others to locate and activate the numerous features/functions of this pedal. Amateur musicians could easily be frustrated and disappointed with the instructions provided by Boss for this looper. I've worked for hours trying to figure out how to use this little looper but so far it's been really disappointing.
Hey mate, I'm sorry to hear you're having some difficulty, I'll certainly consider doing some more 'how to' videos in the near future probably next month hopefully... But for now here are some videos explaining the basics on the RC-1 and the RC-3 which are the predecessors and the RC-5 follows exactly the same process at the beginning. I hope it helps for now....

Hi, is it possible to link and sync two or more units? Thanks.
Hi mate, I've not tried as yet it but I'm pretty sure that would be possible.. I know that the RC-500 100% does So I'd imagine you can. Thx for watching.
👍
Blimey......
X🤘🏻X
Did this have 808 drum sound tho?
I don't think it has the 808 but it does have a few variations of kits and lots of different beats to chose from. Thx for watching. ;-)
