## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Boss rc10r - best looper for built in rhythm. - Absolutely brilliant! Wish I had bought one a long time ago... Do not be put off by suggestions that it is difficult to use - it is not. The additional functions available over lesser loopers will take a little longer to learn, but you will be using it like a pro in no time! For the functions that it offers it is great value for money. It comes with its own (excellent) power supply. The built in rhythm is a standout feature of this looper. Each track that you produce has two rhythm parts available in addition to fill ins, intro's and outro's. You can also combine two (or more) track(s) together by using an additional foot switch (not supplied) to get even more rhythm variety. Sound quality is excellent. Build quality is excellent. Highly recommended -You won't be disappointed if you go for it!
Review: Iconic little box for global megastars to bedroom beginners and everyone in-between - It's an already 'classic' product, widely used and familiar. My first impressions upon the purchase? it 'does what it says on the tin' - literally - and does it very well. Functionality is basic, but for anything more sophisticated there are bigger boxes which can do more. And for anywhere outside street busking, there are computers and programs that can do a lot more. Solidly built, as you can expect from the brand and the class of stomp-boxes, electronically functional and reliable, and easy to understand / learn to operate. The slightly more difficult part - smooth on-stage operation and performance -comes with practice and I haven't had the time for that yet. But in the first minutes of owning the RC-1 I was confidently recording loops and having fun jamming with myself, it's that simple. In addition to the included printed instructions, there are many online videos that show how to use it and provide great ideas of what can be done. I am perhaps satisfied because I didn't expect miracles, already knew exactly the capabilities of this unit, and the experience fully met my expectations. Any disappointed users I have come across simply had unrealistic expectations because they had not made the effort to research the product in advance. Yes, it's basic and limited - but within its limitations, the possibilities are nonetheless... endless! :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you have to buy a amplifier or microphone to use it?**
A: You do not have to buy an amplifier to use it. It is good to be have an amplifier to get the right volume though. You do need some headphones to listen to the sound you are producing. You can also use a set of mini speakers (though it is not always easy to hear through these).You will need a microphone and/or an instrument that you can plug into the box.

**Q: After i switch off the loop station or even take off the battery do i loose the memory recording so the next i swich it on do ineed to do them again ?**
A: After putting in your recording you must Wright it into the memory or you will loose it. Cheers Paul.

**Q: Has anyone used it with a Beatbuddy?**
A: No experience of the Beatbuddy.....but it looks like it would be OK to use with the Boss Looper.....

**Q: Is it possible to plug headphones directly into it?**
A: Hi. Their is no 'headphone out' on the unit and the main out signal will be too low for use with headphones. You could use headphones if you have a headphone amplifier or if you have a headphone out in your amplifier.Warmest regardsMartin

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple loop pedal, good quality
*by D***N on 28 October 2025*

Very basic but works well, no issues with its build quality. Controls are simple although the undo function is a little clumsy. It’s very much a basic practice tool and its sound reproduction quality is excellent. It only stores one loop session at a time but for practice that’s not an issue. The Boss foot switch seems a little curious at first for a looper pedal but it’s easy to learn the dynamic. I use it regularly and find it an interesting contrast to my 2 foot switch EHX looper. It’s fun to use and probably reasonable value for money if you can get one at a slight discount.
