- The Boss Rc-600 Loop Station is a beast of a product. Whenever it released it was immediately put on a list of things I wanted to play with as a guitarist, along with several other things that aren't in the budget... I have been practicing, experimenting, and performing with this product for about 3 months now and hopefully I can help you make a decision about purchasing this product.

Great explanation of this awesome looper. I’ve had mine for a while and only used it on single mode. I’m about to get into the multi side 😱. One thing I would highly recommend if anyone gets this is not only to download the manual but also the Parameter guide. It’s a must and goes deeper into the thing and gives a lot of info.
I had to return my first one if you get one that shows a lot of errors or freezes get it back quickly for a replacement my second one was flawless - so far but I’ve heard of people being on 3 - . I spent a month before a week long event learning the thing and programming thirty or more songs using nearly all 16 assigns per track linked with a Behringer 1010 - another learning curve - turned it off at 12am Saturday night and took it to meet up with my band mate on the Sunday morning to let him hear all the cool stuff we were about to start on the Monday and it had completely corrupted, never got any of it back. So my final piece of advice is Back up often I learned all my stuff and missed that step if I had I wouldn’t have lost anything. Oh there is also a fantastic Editor made by a user called Moose well worth the extra money. Thanks again for the video.
Great advice and thanks for sharing! Sadly some of them just don’t hold up well. I have noticed the metal is quite thin. I mainly create all the sounds I use on the spot so if I lose anything it would be volume, effects, and switch presets which is a lot but can be reprogrammed in 30 minutes or so. I don’t know if there is a way to back it up other than the mp3s you may upload to tracks.
Thanks so much for this! You explain this very well and you are very listenable....well done! I'm def in the market for one of these. 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Hopefully you get one and make some great music with it!
Thanx so much.... very helpful.... thinking of buying one.....
It’s an amazing product but be ready to sink several hours of work across a few months to program it but it’s worth it I think!
I have a Boss rc10-r and I can make nice and interesting stuff with it. Right now I don't do gigs, just play for pleasure at home and make some videos for Y.T. just for fun but with some quality. The only problem of course is the only 2 tracks of Rc10-r but with some patience I can make a 3 or 5 minutes score of instrumental music with 3 or 4 memory next to each other with the same loop but different drum patterns. Well, maybe someday I'll buy that boss rc 600. Best wishes for your gigs.❤
Sounds cool and thank you! If you already do loops it’ll be a smoother transition to the 600. Best of luck to you!
product or unit looper product v looper unit
maybe get a mic cage to cut out the room echo
@@oldbladderhorn I actually had the mic backwards for some of it 🤦♂️
Its a shame that I cannot assign different input fx banks to different tracks, so that corresponding input fx would automatically activate when I play different tracks. What is the point of looper if you cannot do that. How am i supposed to change the track and the input fx bank at the same time. I bought this looper so that i would be able to do that. But it cannot even do such a simple thing. Is programming such a basic and essential function in a looper such a hard thing? Can anyone suggest me a work around?
You can have track effects and these can be assigned to different tracks. So each of the 6 tracks can have 4 different effects. This is different from the 4 input effects but I have found that the track effects only activate after recording, although this might can be changed in the settings but I’m not sure. The other option is to bring other pedals to supplement what’s not there, I have seen other artists do this as well.
I had to ship this theoretically phenomenal piece of gear back.. it started freezing while simply auditioning the included rhythm patterns. Too many risks.. it was fitted with 1.3 firmware, I read about problems, so downgraded it to 1.2 firmware. No way.
it’s a pity because, when it works, it sounds fantastic, gives you 6 tracks access, you can customise every switch ecc.
When it works.
Thanks for sharing your personal feedback and thankfully I haven’t had that issue. I use it for gigs 2-3 times a week but so far it’s good! Maybe it was a bad unit 🤷♂️
Can u use it as audio interface for daw?
That is a good question and I believe you can. I can’t check at the moment but Im pretty I remember logic picking it up and asking if I wanted to use it. It’s also worth a google to check as well.
I have an RC-505 and I used it that way for a long time till I eventually went and got an actual interface. worked fine as long as you have the latest drivers. I'm sure it's the same with this. Can't imagine they would screw that up.
