Excellent looper

Tudor Verde 29.10.2024

This pedal is really creative. The workflow really lets you in the creativity space. I use it for postrock ambient loops. You can use the 2 tracks in serial mode (but you need a tempo beat for the both tracks) or in parallel, like I use it (for adding or stopping percussion and bass). I wanted to change it with the bigger one, but having only 2 tracks with good quality sound is enough and even better for keeping the creative flow going. Having more tracks would be more stressful I think.

Great piece of equpiment

Čovjek 03.08.2025

This Looper is great. It is customizable to suit your needs, it can be extended with external footswitches and it sounds great. It feels sturdy but time will tell. After all Boss is known for it's durable equipment so 5 stars on quality on that reputation basis (but it does feel well built). Just had my 1st concert with it and it sounded great.

There are only one thing that really bothers me.

There is no way to shut of the tempo light (I spoke to Roland support). Yes you can tape over it, but it would be nice to have the option to turn it off.

GREAT

Kikodasneves 25.02.2021

Pros:
1. Fully customizable: inputs, outputs, footswitch functions, external footswitch or midi, recording options, etc. It will CERTAINLY adapt to your own workflow (you just have to spend some time with it and set it up right).
2. 2 tracks.

Cons:
1. Not that big of a deal but the drum patterns could be a bit more sophisticated and let you import your own pattern, which it doesn't. the 3/4, 5/4 and 7/4 patterns are VERY unconvincing though, they just feel like a chopped up 4/4.

The best so far from Boss.

HalfManHalfGear 26.04.2021

I've had almost all of the other Boss loopers over the years and this is the best so far. Takes time to get to grips with it and I'm still evaluating getting an additional midi controller to get instant access to all its features but for now I'm good. Better sound quality than anything I've had previously too. Was contemplating the RC-10r for a while but in the end I'm glad I held out for this one.

One of the best pieces of equipment I have bought...

Davor_Zerjav 08.03.2021

... ever. The pedal is so versatile and applicable in practice and musical performance. It is made very high quality and robust. It can be programmed in a million different ways and customized to each user.
The disadvantage is the volume sliders that need to be set significantly below the middle position for normal playback volume.
I hope Boss will work on that in firmware updates. Also, the mic preamp is weak, so if you use dynamic mic you will need set up mic gain very high, or your guitar/keyboard input quite low.
General presets should be applicable to all memories, it would be easier to program the device.

A bit fiddly with menu diving, but the vast capabilities of this loop pedal are amazing, and the sound stays nice and crisp.
