Amazing looper for creative keyboard players
This is an incredibly feature packed looper pedal for the money and Boss quality. I bought this because when I would jam alone, I'd find a cool riff or chord progression, but hit a wall trying to flesh out an idea with only two hands and my mortal levels of split coordination.Now when inspiration hits, I can throw together a 3 to 5 layer backing loop in a half hour and save it to rock out any time. It really takes your solo brainstorming sessions to a new level.As far as I can tell, the loop sound reproduction is seamless, so don't worry about poor fidelity. Also, the built-in drum tracks function like a metronome so they can be changed or turned off in your saved loops.The only downside I've had with the RC-3 is that the controls can feel clumsy because record, undo, stop, and erase are all routed through the one foot switch. The additional accessory pedal is an absolute must-have if you intend to gig with the looper.100% recommend this pedal whether you're a casual player looking to experiment or a studio pro looking for a new tool at a good price.

Has everything you need
This thing is a beast. After some reading, it performs excellent. I use the pre loaded drums and today I learned how to run my drum machine right into it. Beautiful..

I wish I bought this years ago!!
I wish I bought this years ago!! I'm having so much fun with this and I don't even know what I'm doing! I'm not that musically inclined but this thing makes me sound like a pro!! I love the drum machine function to add some rhythm to my master pieces. I play some basic cord, add a few licks, do a bass line, add the drums and boom I'm a rock star! I even impressed my 18 and 20 year olds! If you don't have anyone to jam with here's your answer. Great to practice jamming, cord progressions, scales, etc This is the best thing I have purchased since the original iPhone came out. Don't wait any longer and purchase this. It will make your life fun and impress your friends. Really, really easy to use. Just watch a couple of Youtube vids to get the idea and you'll be all set. Rock on!!

Boss RC-3 Looping Station
The RC-3 is great for practicing, songwriting, and even performing live. It has a ton of features packed into a small space for those that require it. It allows up to 3 hours of recording time that can be stored in up to 99 different save slots. It also contains 10 basic drum beats to add to your own recordings and it is USB 2.0 compatible which allows you to upload pre recorded tracks.The most noticeable feature is the three-hour recording memory. It’s a huge step up from the RC-2 which only allowed up to 16 minutes of recording time. This means you can record up to 3 hours of material and save it to 99 different slots. You can also upload tracks directly from your computer to the pedal by connecting the two via USB.The RC-3 also comes with 10 preset drum beats that can come in handy when you want to create your own backing track. The 10 rhythms come in a variety of styles such as Pop, Rock, Funk, Shuffle, and Latin. Although the pedal does not allow you to set the tempo incrementally like many reviews state, it does have a “tap tempo” feature that enables you to tap out the tempo you want your track to follow. Another great feature is the separate volume knobs. One is dedicated to the volume of the rhythm, the other is for the volume of the current loop.In conclusion, This is a great pedal for the money and extremely efficient when it comes to saving space on your pedal board. If your looking for something easy to use and compact that can add a whole new dynamic to practicing, recording, or playing live, then this is the pedal for you.

just like it's supposed to be
really great as a practice tool; easy to use, very cool, very sturdy (it ought to be for almost 2 bills, eh?). I really am enjoying this and find it to be almost as useful as my Fender GDEC amp (almost, but not as fun). By the way, it cost more than my GDEC but is more limited with only 9 beat patterns. It is a good tool for forcing more creativity, if that's what you are looking for. It's built much sturdier on the other hand when comparing to a GDEC and is much more compact and portable. get the power supply adapter cord, you'll save money in the long run.

Unbelievably useful and helpful for learning
This is the coolest pedal ever. The pre-loaded drum beats with the tap tempo and easy recording are just the coolest parts, and only the tip of the iceberg. 99 slots to save stuff in. 90 minutes of stuff to save. You can just record every second of playing and save it if it's good, if not it clears automatically when you change slots. So simple yet so powerful. This should have been my first pedal..

Highly recommend. Great for first loop pedal.
This thing is awesome. It added a member to my band. I got accustomed to it within a week and immediately improved my solo skills on guitar. I found that I already want more features/capabilities which come into play with their next models up. The 2 and 4 pedal loop stations. I'm gonna need one of those soon. It gets kind of repetitive only being able to loop the same exact riff over and over again, so you gotta get a little creative. Will probably upgrade soon now that I am more familiar with the loop pedals. Really great option for beginners like me though! Highly recommend.

Awesome pedal
I play lead guitar and this has been a great tool to help me practice when I can't play with my band. I just loop the rythm portion of a song and then practice my part on top of it. My bassist and I spent an evening layering different sounds and came up with some really cool beats. The downside is really an upside in that there is A LOT you can do with this, so its a little overwhelming trying to learn how to use everything properly. It took a lot of trial and error before I figured out how to get my timing down so my loops were seamless and learning how long you should play for. All in all, I'm very pleased with this product.

Un bel prodotto
Veramente un bel prodotto. Per il prezzo che ha è sicuramente molto versatile e potente. Bisogna prenderci un po' di confidenza per capirne la logica ma in pochi minuti si diventa padroni e si possono registrare le tracce. Configurabile anche con un device MIDI si possono salvare le tracce su BOSS Studio. I Ritmi sono molto belli, pur sembrando pochi rispetto ad altri si possono adattare alle proprie esigenze anche scegliendo tra una impostazione acustica tipo studio o performance. Veramente un bel prodotto. Solido e compatto come tutti i pedali Boss arrivato con Prime in 1 giorno.

Compra obligatoria a guitarristas que empiezan a usar loop.
Es una maravilla, si lo van a comprar consideren que no viene con transformador, aún así es un gran dispositivo. Me llegó antes de lo previsto y en perfectas condiciones. Funciona genial y para el precio que tiene, brinda bastantes funciones.
