How to use the Boss RC-30 Loopstation Loop Looper Pedal and Boss FS-6 Foot Switch Demo Instructions

A basic guide to the functions of the Boss RC-30 loop pedal and the optional FS-6 foot switch. Instructional video with short demo.

[@evanisovich]

Thank you for getting straight to the point. I’ve got an RC-20 but your instructions are still applicable. Thanks again!

[@lefty5757]

I have the RC-20 also, trying to extend the loop time to more then a few seconds, I bought it used on Craigslist, my first looper.

Thanks
Appreciate you and your information

Still a useful video, three years on - thanks

[@philipcampbellmusic5780]

Thanks Damien, much appreciated

[@brentonweeks6991]

Thanks mate. A lot of videos just are of someone jamming using the pedal. I think you have pretty much covered all the basics. thanks

[@fred.chapman]

Philip, thanks for the excellent demo video of the RC-30!

[@philipcampbellmusic5780]

Thanks, appreciate it

[@vivacacao6312]

so helpful! thanks for this demo. I haven't used mine in so long I forgot how to use it.

[@James-cn9no]

Good quick demo. No extraneous talk. Good Job!

[@davexjs5889]

Very good review i didn't fully understand (newbie) but now have a lot more incite to a loop station .Most loop instruction results in a solo session for the want to be star !!! Just like myself Thanks.

[@djmozarte]

[@harryhthenorwegian476]

Coool man..... Thank you for this very informative vid.... :-)

[@jamiemooney3091]

Thanks dude

[@drixmusic2022]

how can you play both tracks on same time again if you do a double tap (stop all) the right pedal. ex: on a live gig and you have a type of song to stop all tracks and play again both tracks? that's my concern and i'm planning to buy also the same unit. thanks in advance for the tip

[@kamesound]

Very good, thanks!.

[@philipcampbellmusic5780]

Appreciate it, thanks

[@benthepianist3102]

This is such a helpful video, thanks for posting it! I've just started using a loop pedal, would love to know what you think of my attempt! Liked and subscribed :-)

[@Loraine70]

Nice thank you!

[@philipcampbellmusic5780]

Thanks!

Thanks for the FS-6 demo. On my RC-30, the playback volume is ridiculously high compared to the thru signal, so that I must keep my volume sliders at about the second hash-mark; if I move them even slightly from their ideal position, the playback volume becomes radically high or radically low. In your video here you are not trying to play live over the recorded tracks, so the problem is not evident; if you were to try to do so, I suspect you'd need to have the volume sliders near the very bottom of their range in order to have the thru volume match the playback volume. Do you know of a solution to this problem? I looked thru the manual to see if maybe there was a master-volume knob somewhere, but cannot find any such thing. What I want to do is dramatically reduce the playback volume, so the I can have more dynamic range in my sliders. Thanks!!

If u hold a or b for 2 seconds u can switch up and down in memory

[@daltonreedhentel]

The foot switch only works with trs 1/4" cable right? Cuz I put cable Jack an only worked SIDE B

[@trampismat]

freaked out when the sock appeared at 6:04

[@randybarile4070]

Is it possible to record a verse on track one and a chorus on track two and switch them and stop one and just play track two alone and then switch back to just track one?

[@martenfisherTV]

+1

[@xThankYourLuckyStars]

Same question?:D! x

[@robertpicklesnickle]

yes it is you can play each track independently of one another or play them both simultaneously

[@welcometocastleirwell]

I know this video is a bit old, but do you know if there is a way to swap memory tracks live (without a footswitch?). I mean if the chord progression changes so I save chord progression 1 and chord progression 2 onto different memory tracks, can I swap them when I need to or do I have to reach down and press the little button?

[@AdamGrace98]

annabelle if you have the boss footswitch then holding a or b cycles through saved tracks!

[@tamrakarsahara1073]

bro whenever i record something and turn off my boss RC30, my saved loops automatically gets deleted, am i turning off it inproper way? can you help me with that?

[@philipcampbellmusic5780]

Hi there, I'm afraid I haven't experienced this problem. As long as you are hitting the 'write' button twice, it should save to the designated memory bank. Does the memory bank number flash to indicate the loop is being saved OK before turning it off? I checked the manual and it does mention that if you press any button other than the 2 memory bank selection arrows, the write button or either of the 2 pedals it will cancel the write operation but I'm sure you won't have done that every time you've tried to save a loop. So I'm afraid I probably haven't been much help!

[@tamrakarsahara1073]

Philip Campbell thanks bro it worked, maybe i should have read the manual properly before throwing it 😂👌👌🤘

[@haydenbrown6474]

why does mine have a 2 cocoon delay between loops

[@pitergomez2485]

Does anyone have problems when recording a loop and then stopping it (with right pedal, just because you dont wanna play it at that moment, but afterwards)? Because with tempo unnabled it's impossible for me to make the loop correctly (and i dont think it is a rhytmic problem).

[@jockster5525]

Thanks mate

[@mymos2010]

can the pedal swithc memory 1 to 2

[@haydenbrown6474]

2 second

[@iamme9513]

It's a mess🙄

[@MattCrawley_Music]

iam me what do you recommend instead?

[@iamme9513]

Buy the rc 300

[@flymakena]

Makes no sense to put solos in loop,you should leave solos live...
