A looper that remembers my shitty attempts from last night is a blessing and a curse ... Better to go on thinking you did something wonderful that's forever lost.
I think you're underestimating how a looper helps you practice keeping things in sync with what you've played before. And it really allows for truly creative stuff. Once you grasp using it well enough. Also, I know your comment was probably a bit tongue in cheek, however if it is just about recording what you've played, there are far more logical options out there than using a looper. You really should use a looper to create phrase loops or build up songs in a live situation. Not quite intended as a recorder only.
@@PHeMoX Yeah, I agree. I've been using loopers for many many years, and they've helped me get better timing and often made practicing more fun. But I'm sure you're also no stranger to playing an older loop back and being disgusted by your own sloppy playing ...
@@JohannesLabusch @PHeMoX Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks, your comments made me decide to finally get the RC-3 after looking at it for five years. Hope it will help me learn new stuff.
@@GoldenEagle558 Why the RC-3? RC-5 is like 20$ more...
Jam and learn brother, jam and learn.
Boss did it... finally noone else did it... a looper pedal for the colourblinds!!! No more strugglin with red or green led's but plain text!!! That's what I wanted for years! Thanks so much!!!!
I don't know about you, but anytime Pete is playing with himself, I have to stop what I'm doing and watch.
Spot the double entendre...

Pete "Loop Dogg" Honoré dropping it like it's hot...🔁🐕
👏👏👏
Bowling for Loop
Always check you guys before purchasing something thanks for being informative without bias.
I could listen to Pete play all day, he’s amazing. No disrespect to Chappers and his amazing shreddding but the show is in a whole other level with you two.
Other level? Naaaaaah.
Other style? Yes.
Pete is only threading the path Chappers has laid out for Andertons, The Captain and Dutch Pete.
We should recognize and honour our bricklayers. 🎉😊😂
@@MrRFasters Playing aside, Chapman is a douche and the channel is watchable now with Pete
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.
Pete!! What an intro. Mint 🤘🎸
Thanks for tuning in Sebastian! 🤘
Just saw your demo, and it's great.
I've owned and tired a few loop stations... I'm hoping the levels are evened out with this one. The old ones, the drum levels seemed either very quiet or very loud and it took a bit of fidgeting to adjust and wasn't friendly on a live setting. Hoping it'll be as good for me as it is for you.
That intro jam!!
Perfect Demo Guys 👍👍🎶🎶🎸
Thanks, Love ya 2 guys... from Buttville, KY
Thank you for posting this. So I've been looping for so long though have found myself frustrated with the design of many. The basic Ditto rocks so much in terms of ease of use and playback, but it's limited especially for recording purposes. I've tried other dittos including the "stereo" (which I wasn't a big fan of) as well as the 4X which, after having to send it in for repair to reseat the memory card has been great for my drum machine syncing though is overkill for other things. I also have the older RC-3 which is okay though it doesn't have instant looping (for glitch sounds) - it's also not truly true stereo and while it has drum beats isn't MIDI capable so you can't really program the BPM which was a major letdown. I bought the RC-5 as soon as it came out hoping it'd take the good of the RC3 but with the MIDI though because so much of the volue and other function are in interface form instead of with knobs I've been resistant to use it. Watching this I'm going to give it another try - thank you for all you folks do at Anderton's. When I make my first trip to the UK you WILL be my first stop. :)
Dayum that Fast Fret on the floor got some lush balls
Naughty Dane....
Great demo as always! Small note: The Boss RC-5 is 32-bit at 44.1khz sampling (not 96khz sampling as Pete said).
This makes me miss my RC-1. Good fun.
Can’t wait for the RC-30 refresh. More drum loops, let us record longer overdubs that are multiples of the first loop, better volume control of tracks and mic input.
Very happy with my DITTO! But the RC-5 seems like a very nice looper for sure! Thanks, lads!
Awesome air drumming, Captain!
Beautiful composition at the beginning. Pete you're a goddam prince you know that. Cheers!
That ending jam.
Great videos keep it up..👍
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?
Now that I have seen it, I can’t stop looking at it!!!
That's what she said.
@@ChrisP3000x lol
Captain's drum skills are getting better and better by the day ahahah
Great video!
I've never heard anyone say 'arsey' so often in 12 minutes
Intro was awesome
That dude Pete can play, such a skilled guitar player!
Nice, quick review. Love the intro/outros. Thanks fellas!
If you have a multi-layered loop, but want to delete lets say the 2nd loop or 3rd or so forth, can you do it without deleting the other loops?
What a beautiful looking Tele that is.
Get you a girl who looks at you the way the captain looks at Pete when he’s looping
LOL
Boss loopers absolutely rule. Although I use mine less since getting a Digitech Trio+ as that actually does a lot more. But still got an RC-1 and an RC300
Have a TripPlus as well but too damn complicated to get it right - ie decent chord pattern, decent bass / drum pattern, matching volumes and matching re recording of chord loop. Its a nyisance and takes the creativity out of it., Reverting to my basic Boss Rc1 regularly. Im looking for a sinhle pedal size but multi (at least 2 sequential and/or parallel) looper. Thats my goal. Sadly also nit on the rc5.
Chords for the intro please Pete? I’ve just ordered an RC5 from you guys and I’d be delighted to have those chords to jam over. Ta...
Neat! Would love to see what Pete can do with this small looper and controlling it with midi!
Can the drums/loop be sent to a separate PA channel like the Digitech Trio? That's a showstopper for me if it doesn't because the TRIO does that. And can you record an intro, verse chorus and switch between them on the fly like the TRIO?
Hi, i have an issue here,
When i stop the loop with a double tap, then i clear the track holding the pedal down. At this moment, the loop plays for sec and then only gets cleared.
I suppose it should not sound or start the loop at the proccess of clearing the track, is this the pedal fault or is it just me?
Is there a fix to this please because this is very annoying.
I use my Boss Looper's stereo freatures to run Guitar on one channel and bass (and/or keys) on the other. It works really well, you should demonstrate it doing that.
Do you have the rc5 as well?
@@KJ-je9pm no i have RC 3, i know RC1 RC3 & RC10, didn't know there was a 5.
I was wondering about that. Cos who wants to play without the bass, right?
seems cool. Id like to hear how the drums and backing track sound routed out of a P.A rather than a guitar amp.
Well said indeed - I always kind of thought that but you verbalised it - nice one
Sounds great. That pedal rules I use it a lot.
Be great if they split the rythmn to a mini stereo out and the looper into a 1/4 inch
@ghost mall not if you just run the drums into the PA
@@benji4037 Entirely possible that the rhythm out was equalized by Boss to be sufficient for running into guitar amps instead of PAs. But would still be better to have a separate rhythm out to give us more options.
holy crap pete that opening playing blew my mind
Nice diminished 7 licks mr Honore😄😝👌
I love that Tele!
i notice some guitar cables won't start the looper at reasonable volume . Is there a difference in cables . which do I need.
That is one awesome guitar!
Fender Brit Daniel Signature... Pete's new favourite guitar! 😉 tinyurl.com/y2axukj7
hey guys: does the RC-5 have a quantization function to stitch imperfections in start-stop?
I was hoping to pick-up an RC-3 in Dec but you've sold me on the RC-5. However, what I'm really awaiting is your review of the 2020 "inspired by" Epiphone ES-335. It look's awesome with those vintage tuners and reconfigured headstock.
Bought an rc-3 a few months ago and now I’m GASing over the rc-5. The rc-3 is amazing though👍
@@owengonzales53 Cheers Owen. Seeing as it'll be my first looper, perhaps I'll opt for the RC-3 to see how I get on with it and save my self a few quid - also to help that nice Mr Anderton clear his old stock out 😁. Appreciate the recommendation 👍
Be aware the RC5 isn’t really a replacement for RC3. I bought RC5 expecting to sell my RC3. The RC5 has no Aux-in. But what really upset me is that there is only one dial for ALL functions. There is no way to simply turn up and down drum/backing music. It’s geared for MIDI. So just make sure the functionality is what you want/need otherwise you might get frustrated like adi did and return it. For just basic looper pedal requirements the RC3 is more immediate and flexible. Who wants to have to find a volume control within a menu to set your backing drums/music!?
@@jbharrop glad I could help!
@@djt6546 @@djt6546 I'm glad you wrote this DJT. I bought an RC3 a couple of years ago but have hardly used it. Like you, I'm just into basic functionality but I also like the long loop time of the RC3. You've reassured me and now I'm going to use my RC-3 every day from now on to make up for lost time.
What happens when you pull the power to the RC-5? Does the guitar signal still run through?
The looper king is Mr. Phil Keaggy. Saw him live, 5 track loop, incredible.
And most players have NO idea about Phil!
Be great if these guys had Phil on the show
I see 2 inputs. Can you put like a bass and a guitar at the same time? Not necessarily record at the same time. But make loops with both.
Weird not seeing Pete playing a Squier nowadays, ya know?
Can the RC5 drums be heard once the loop is transferred to the pc?
Hello there, I want to ask if the feature a minute 2:35 ( ua-cam.com/video/th8nfSRgCCc/v-deo.html ) of rhythm following a track is also available for RC5? Thanks in advance!
No comment about the 2 purple balls at the bottom of the brown body/red top of the string cleaner???? Nice visual, guys :D
Does it have a/b looping fir verse & chorus?
Captain: Pete, why don't you build a loop?
UA-cam: [Plays a NeuralDSP ad.]
Me with another tab open: 🤯
Nice
The RC-3 didn't quite need replacement IMHO. Except for maybe the 32-bit recording the new one does. Also, it isn't the difference between 1080p and 4K, but if the final loop is all you use in your DAW for a song, yes you'll notice the difference in quality a lot. I'd say about double the quality is a stretch though. In terms of the frequency range, all your phrases will STILL be fighting for their own space in your loops. No such thing as 'more space' for them actually. It's why using a looper works best if you vary the types of sounds you put in, whether some guitar drumming, some muted rhythm in softer tones and some type of lead or solo. Instead of just chord progressions or notes of the same type of sounds.
loving the looper and everything but what's going on with that Fast Fret on the floor there? lol
What fastfret?? 😜
It’s worth noting that if you often don’t have shoes on when you play guitar, the stud type buttons on loopers are really uncomfortable. RC-1 and RC-5 best for the bare foot posse. 😂
That guy on the left reminds me of myself back in music class in highschool just watching the kids who were really good at guitar 😂😂
How does it compare to the Ditto looper X2?
Can't see why this is more expensive than the RC-30, when it only has one pedal! For bass, with my looper, I use the TC Electronic Sub n Up, which is polyphonic. Always check 2nd hand for loopers, as a lot of people give up trying to use them, not the easiest thing to master.
I own one now and it’s far better than the RC-3. Great sound quality. The expanded drum patterns are great.
Is it any easier to use? I have an RC3 that I just got so frustrated with i took it off the board.
@@chudd7329 eeek! You’ll hate the RC-5 so! The 3 is far easier but the 5 is worth the 3 days of fiddling around and the sound quality is amazing when the overdubs pile on!
@@KRAZEEIZATION thats grand. Thanks for your honesty. Maybe I'll give the 3 another go and see if it reignites the interest.
@@chudd7329 The 3 is great but a bit redundant now as the 5 is superior. The 10 drum grooves on the 3 used frustrate the hell out of me after 5 years! I traded my 3 for the 5 but a looper in general is a great way to practice at home. It’s invaluable really.
Damn I want to have Pete's looping skills! But first I need a looper pedal. 🤣
Still trying to get to grips with my RC3. Simple is best for my needs..👍🇦🇺
i don't know whether my eyes is playing tricks on me, but it looks like Captain Lee is a bit frail & a little bit thinner....i suppose something is wrong with my eyes. Anyway hoping the Captain & everyone else are in great shape & staying safe. As always, Pete's playing are always awesome.
Pete always gives me serious David Brent vibes.
Funny thing is i bought the RC-5 yesterday as well as the guitar on the wall
Just waiting for the black version. ;-)
Awesome guys. Have the rc1, but will defo upgrade to the rc5 or maybe 10? Lol
Hands down he’s a tasty player. No bullshit just thrilling licks and beautiful tone. I only started watching Anderson’s once Chappers buggered off. His demeanour and freeze dried widdle diddle was very off putting.
The RC-1 was introduced as a bare bones looper in 2014, and got the 1 because there was an RC-2 and RC-3. The RC-3 has only 10 drum loops but if you press Rhythm on/off and hold you get a) and b) versions of a few of the rhythms. You can’t compare the RC-1 with the 2 or 3 as it’s so simple!
Pete is a genius
wow! Pete!
5:30 is there a time limit for each track, say 5 minutes per track?
Can you use the RC-5 for vocal and guitar looping at the same time? Thanks for the awesome video.
Through a pre and re-amp I think. better look at the rc-500, which has mic in.
@@michaelrasmussen5158 thanks!
Guys, you could do all that on the old RC3. Computer storage/recall, backing tracks, drums were ace on the RC3 (with a huge library online). The only selling point I can see is that the sound quality is better.. it needed to be. I will reserve judgment until I have heard a proper multi-track jam..
I Wonder. Not having used the rc3 was the quality bad? Boss is a great company. If this is really a step up in sound quality and does usb, drum tempo auto follows the loop tempo etc then guess I'll get it. Watching many looper videos to decide.
@@elementgypsy not at all, rc3 also very good, I don't see all the quality difference
You can load new drumkits/patterns onto the RC-3?!
Why choose it over the RC-1? Pete did you come up with that video name after I asked you that on Instagram!? lol
I want one now. RC-1 coming to an eBay near you!
Adjusting the volume knobs on Rc3 is so much easier than faffing Rc5 menus. Hate that every new preset defaults to 100% max volume on both rhythm and loop?
Drum options better though.
I hope this means I can get a sweet deal on a used RC 3 now
Can I use it with my percussions, please?
Does RC-5 have a dedicated stop button that only requires one press?
Damn, I literally just bought an RC-3.
I was just looking!
the rc-3 ain't bad tho!
Just let Pete and John Mayer play together when he comes there
Oh shit. Did he just hit the switch NOT on the one? I have just bought a RC5, and have no looping experience. In all my saved "how-to" videos, everyone stresses to stomp on the one. I guess it probably matters for the groove, but after that, all bets are off. Can't wait to try it out.
Oh, and did they say you can control drums, and other stuff via midi?
The rc 3 drum beat supposedly follows the loop tempo automatically. I assume this does as well.
RC10 does not.
Damn Pete is good!
Yeah! double denim again!!
Can someone pleeease make tabs for those chords in the intro? That would be super awesome....
After watching Pete. Got to get one.
I would not say this pedal will replace my ditto plus looper. It will rather be a very good combination with my two ditto plusses to be able to make layered synth improvisations or compositions with my several guitar synth pedals.
Wouldn't it have made more sense to compare the differences with the pedal it directly replaces - the RC3? The RC3 also has 99 memory slots, loads of storage time, downloadable etc?

@@djt6546 yep, good points.
@@djt6546 very true.. I have been in a shop and the owner suggested the rc3 instead rc5....
@@fozterfossworth8276 spot on man, thanks
Nice vid fellows. However, all this controlled play in the studio is fine and good, but it completely overlooks the challenges of taking one of these out on a gig, especially at a quiet solo gig, where customers are just a couple of feet away and can hear even the click of your stomp pedals. The challenges of setting the gain on the percussion, starting, stopping the loop, keeping the flow, limiting the number of repeats, going into an unloopable bridge or “B” part (which most real songs actually contain!!!!), are not found in these controlled demo’s. In fact, the opportunity for error in a live gig is so great, you might want to leave your looper at home, even if it has this miraculous 64-bit processing. It can still mess you up bad in a live show.
I note Pete kept asking what’s the difference with the RC-3...tbh that’s all I wanted to know as well ie should I upgrade my old boss looper for a new one.

Anyone having issues with imported track quality? I'm getting sound degradation-excess gain on samples such as 2nd guitar, etc.
I just bought a used RC 1 a month ago. Damnit
8:24 Pete - and if the drums are on...
Drums - 🥁 💥
Lee - Woah!
How many dubs can you do over 1 track?
You didn't cover the footswitch options. Using a Boss FS-6 makes life a bit easier by assigning different functions to separate switches.
The last tune sounded like it's a sitcom theme song. Now what's the show? Gotta know!
