Thorough Walkthrough - BOSS RC-5 LOOP Station DEMO, RC5 Looper Guitar Pedal Review, Reid's Reviews

[jasonwojcik]

Late to the party, but this video is awesome. Nobody has done any better on how to use the looper. Even Boss didn't do that great of a job on it.

Thank you for putting this together and sharing!

Finally, a detailed explanation of how to use this oedal. The "manual" is a joke. The demos elsewhere on youtube basically miss all these details OR some hot shot showing off with no explanations and those videos are from Boss!

A great walkthrough, which explained a lot of details most reviews don't cover. Thank you. 👍

From my first pedal bought in the 80s - the DS-1 which I affectionately call “the chunk of cheese” - to the RC-5 which I just bought recently, there exists a universe! Wow… I had no idea I’d bought a pedal that taps into the 5th dimension!!! Thank you for sharing all your valuable knowledge and insights, Reid. I will keep learning this pedal until I die. 🐴🔥🎶🇨🇦

Excellent tutorial and the only one out of many that explains how to operate this looper really, really well. Thank you so much. I was pulling my hair out with the countless other videos that I sat through. The other demos either use 'lingo' that isn't helpful to all new users or the presenters are overly energetic which is distracting. You have presented this calmly and slowly. As a result, I have been able to finally understand it. The Boss tutorial started well, but for me, it went down a path of using words that are for more experienced musicians and wasn't so helpful for a newbie. 🙌

Thank You, Thank You, ThankYou, Finally was able to take my RC-5 out of the box after a year of purchasing it and start to learn how to use it. Must have watched 50 other videos and could not find any that explain it (if at all)as well as You Do not even from the BOSS website. Thank You for Being So Patient and Concise!

Thanks, man. Really helpful - I was about to return it since it isn’t exactly user friendly or intuitive. Appreciate the tutorial since I have zero patience for tech leaning curves - just want to play my guitar! 😂🤣

Thanks for the walkthrough. Just got mine yesterday, haven't had a chance to play yet, but I feel like I already have a handle on it thanks to you. :)

FS-7 is good to use as external dual switch to compliment these BOSS RC Peddles. I have an RC-1 and use an FS-7 with it. Thanks for the post and just to say you did a good thorough job of showing what the RC-5 is capable of. The FS-7 really is worth looking into and plugs into the 1st of 3 inputs on right hand side of the peddle for switching between beat variation a, b, c etc and between other settings in the menu like start, stop, undo as an alternative to double click on the peddle itself. That FS-7 is a big asset.

Excellent video! I've owned this pedal for over 2 years and learned more from your video!

You deserve a subscribe! You broke this whole thing down!! Thanks a ton bro.

[timliston]

Mine is coming tomorrow, thank you
Just what I needed

[matthiasscheffler]

I learned more in the first minute of this than in all the other reviews

Love this pedal. Incredible sound quality & fidelity. I use mine with a Boss FS-6. Appreciate the informative demo. oNe LovE from NYC

Best instructional vid of this pedal on YouTube. Bravo!

I have been working with the RC 5 for about a year, and am pleased with my progress. Pretty complicated for an old man(73) and I have been using it for backing tracks primarily. I record a track, set up the start/stop parameters, Fade in/fade out, plus several other functions. I then write everything to the track in memory. When I go to a new unrecorded track, all my saved parameters are there on the new track. and I must change the global settings back in order to record, overdub, etc. There must be a way to save all parameters to individual tracks but leave the global settings alone but have not found it yet!! Has anyone found a way to do this??

Great review, thanks for this! Most comprehensive walk-through I've seen for this pedal :)

[jamminwithgt]

Great job Reid. I've been waiting for your review on the RC-5. Certainly is a complicated piece of equipment. It'll take me a while to got through these features, so I'll probably have lots of questions. Happy Holidays!

[jtspires]

Thanks so much. Such a complete demo. Couldnt find but one other good demo for the RC-5.
