My dudes. I’ve had this pedal for 10 years and never knew this. Game changer.

[morinkhuur]

I'm always impressed by people's generosity when they share their knowledge like this. Many thanks.

[chestersbud]

I've owned this pedal for years and only just realized that I wasn't using it to its full potential. Thanks.

[Stevieboy]

That initial bit changing rD to rP is INVALUABLE! I haven't seen anybody else demonstrate that.

[ImseanIguess]

record to play mode helped me a lot - great tip at the beginning!!! I would often get a great first loop but then mess up the immediately recorded second 'overdub' loop. It makes much more sense to me in the second mode

[dilloncox]

I just got this pedal like within the last couple days. I almost was about to get rid of it bc I thought that it was just stuck the way it was and I thought how is everyone making it work and I can’t. The bit where you showed how to change it to record/play just saved me from getting rid of it So glad you two made this video

The opening instructions have completely changed my view of this pedal - purchased years ago as hardly used as the overdub function wasn’t how I thought it should work - completely changed my view with that opening tip - Thanks!!!

Thanx for this video, its simple, but so necessary
because the manual written by BOSS is just bad for beginners. As a beginner you don't start with overdubbing, You want to create a one layer loop and then solo over it. In the manual you find this most valuable information just on page 19!. These guys in the video bring it first!

Thank you! I acquired an RC-3 two weeks ago and found the booklet to be difficult for me to understand, so this has given me a good start. I'm sure I'll learn more moving forward. Thanks again.

[sabbster]

well damn, going from record to play is the secret. going from record to overdub is stupid. THANK YOU

[chrisbailey]

Rc3 is by far for me the best looper I've tried shed loads of functionality, reasonably priced, doesn't take up a lot of room and excellent audio quality

[RayRayHam]

Thank you, this video helped me so much. After I played around with my rc3 I felt such happiness I can barely describe it.

[kinglykong]

Thank you guys a ton for making this, been struggling with this pedal

[u.s.a.citizen]

Great guide! Best I’ve seen. After viewing this I went out and bought a looper. Boss rc3

[vking]

Thank you for that ... I have had a Loop pedal for a couple of years & had no idea how to use it. Always having the Air gap issue.... Yay I might be able to make it work now.

[matthewarrowsmith]

Love your Scouse accent Mark.... My wife is from Liverpool. Thanks for the demo and I think I'm going to buy one tomorrow from my local music shop here in Sydney. Cheers mate!

[atomicbob]

Thank you for this - been underutilizing this pedal for years

[patrickbly]

Your choice of chords and your improvision over it ... was Magical it lifted my mind like a bird's eye view over the springtime Valley. 😊

[JF-emhr]

I appreciate that they answered my main question (recording modes) right away.

I've owned this pedal for several years and I still stand behind it as an extremely useful tool for practice. With a little patience and a little tinkering, one can figure this thing out rather easily. It's way more fun to practice over your own playing versus playing with a pre-made generic track or backing tracks. Get the Fs-5 external foot switch for maximum playability.
