A worthy successor to the mk1! The sound quality and FX have definitely improved by a lot. The extra I/O and routing capabilities make this device a lot more convenient to work in larger jamsessions with multiple instruments and/or even musicians. I also think the 'interface' of this device is designed really well, so that it is easy to learn and use. 10/10 would recommend for beginners as well as mk1 owners thinking about an upgrade!

Loop ANY sounds with this great machine! You have 5 tracks to save in 99 memory locations.( The loops can be short, or super long - you could use it to record an entire song! )This is designed for "Human Beatboxers" and other vocalists, plug a mic directly in.You can also use it for other instruments like drum machines, ( There is DIN MIDI sync! and USB MIDI. )It's quite easy to use, but there are a lot of included features and effects.( Join the Facebook Group for ideas and help! )People notice that it's made of plastic, and the faders could be stronger. If it wasn't, it'd probably cost more. Sometimes people notice "audio artifacts" if this machine isn't the MIDI master, I don't consider it a big problem.There are a lot of vocal effects included, but it ...

This looper is great for making music right away. Plug in a guitar and a mic and you can be your own band. I also feel like it's pretty easy to learn. Things I don't like: flimsy volume faders, plasticity connections on the back and I feel like when you're live it's hard to control the volume of each loop. Also having trouble with the mic picking up everything I'm doing. All about I'm satisfied with my Looper.

An immense sounding, feature packed device. This looper will improve your workflow and creativity from day one. I have been using it with my synths, bass guitar and acoustic guitar to make a variety of different genres of music, from synth-pop to classical. I’m experimenting with vocals, something I have never tried before and even for someone with no vocal training at all you can use the fx on the MKII to add depth and presence to your voice. The creative possibilities are endless and exploring them is so much fun. I highly recommend the MKII for anyone interested in music production or live performing.
Wow let me just say what a fun machine. I am a hobby guitarist/bass player but like to dabble with a midi controller keyboard and drums maybe 15 years experience.Whats shocking to me is I have not had to pull out the manual once and Im not a tech savvy guy in fact quite the opposite. I struggled using computer programs to record but this is plug and play. So much easier than anything i've looped with in the past. I have the Fs6 pedal with 2 switches programmed to rec/play whichever channels I choose and have all my instruments and microphones fed through a mixer and can instantly have a full blown song in no time. 5 channels leave flexibility for changes for verses or choruses or breaks or to quickly undo. The onboard fx are also lots of fun although I primarily ... MoreWow let me just say what a fun machine.

The onboard fx are also lots of fun although I primarily use my amps effects. I jam with one other person usually and we don't write songs we just play and its great for quickly laying down rhythms and bass lines for awesome improv sessions.4 stars because I do feel like I will break this thing at some point especially the faders. Id pay the money for a tougher build or metal chassis like my mixer.
What an amazing piece of kit. It helps me make music the way I want to. I’ve tried using software on a PC for years and this is so much easier and great fun too. You can start looping and playing along within minutes of getting it out of the box.The loops can be as long as you like. You can overdub as much as you like. The five tracks that are controlled independently are just right for performing most pieces with any kind of verse - chorus structure. The memory on this thing is huge. Connectivity to my laptop by USB and to my old Korg M1 by MIDI has been faultless. Everything works they way you expect it to.The built-in rhythm section is useful and flexible. There’s tap tempo and numerical control. I’ve been able to record a long loop, overdub a few times, add ... MoreWhat an amazing piece of kit. It helps me make music the way I want to.

There’s tap tempo and numerical control. I’ve been able to record a long loop, overdub a few times, add shorter loops alongside, add effects, undo, redo and control an external sequencer on the first time of use.The coloured lights telling you which tracks are playing and which are recording take a bit of getting used to and a clock showing bar numbers would be helpful but I connected my old drum machine and used the bar counter on that.The rc 505 mk2 sounds great. The playback is identical to the input - if you want it to be. The onboard effects sound great and there are so many that you could spend months exploring them. There are more than enough and having them assigned to each track input or output independently is helpful and flexible.The menu takes some getting used to but so does any, and some of the menu control buttons are hard to see being black on a black background but that’s a small quibble.I would have liked four or five instrument inputs - one for each track would be useful - but it’s not a deal breaker either.Having faders as well as on/off buttons is useful. There are sufficient time signature and tempo parameters. In short, I’ve been able to do everything I want and more and will be learning and improving for months and years. There are loads of youtube videos to help and to give you ideas what you can do with this, so if you’re considering one of these, get one.
Had great fun with this looper! It has so many instrument and mic inputs I was easily able to build a track with a friend where we could record vocals to ukulele to synths with ease. It has a lot of effects built in that just help elevate vocals especially.If you are on your own I’d recommend getting a trigger pedal to record instruments where you need both hands.
The Boss RC-505 is nothing less than an integral piece of equipment for amateur to professional live musicians. The station is ready to use out of the box, user friendly and extremely responsive. I run a Yamaha P-90 to the RC-505 with a Roland KC-350 as my output. The RC-505 has a decent number of internal effects but doesn't limit your creativity with live sounds. Excellent.
This is a very interesting little box. I've been mostly using kaoss pads (a kp3 + a couple of kpros) along with 303-type devices to do #dawless live techno sets and the 505 is leaps and bounds ahead of the kaoss pads (being a decade newer ofc).Obviously you don't have the xy pad which loses one of the main touchy-feely appealing elements of the pad but I use the 505 in conjunction with the pads rather than instead of, and whilst they overlap, they kinda also do different things.It may only seem like a small detail but one of the main things I like with the 505 over the pads is that in order to clear, save or load a sample on the kaoss pads, the whole machine is locked up (no sound) for anything up to 20~sec, which is not great if you're trying to do live ...

You can sorta "cover" for whichever one is loading if you have several pads and other stuff going on but with just the one you'd be stuffed. The 505 lets you load, save memories, record and clear samples without stopping the beat and *somehow* it seems to magically figure out the timing too which is great for maintaining "flow" and makes the creation process pretty seamless.The kaoss pads also both handle (midi) time in weird and different ways. The kp3 lets you set a downbeat but is then always orbiting on that cycle, and the kpro starts the clock whenever you start recording or playing a sample...both approaches are kinda weird and not that great. Also neither type of pad send a midi play/stop signal so you can't actually use them as a clock master on some types of device. A td3 (as midi slave) still lets you manually trigger start stop even with a clock present, but the FR-777 won't play unless it gets a play/stop by midi when it's a slave, so no dice. Tbh I haven't quite figured out how the 505 does what it does with the timing but it seems to work very well and it works great as a clock master too.Having up to 4 stackable effects (4 on incoming and 4 on outgoing) is fantastic and gives real nice scope for mashing up sounds and I love having the hardware sliders for the levels. You can do channel sliders on the pads but you have to go to a shift menu to do so, which on the kp3 also disables the current fx (not great), so once again the 505 is a big improvement there.The way the memories work also seems like it would be very suitable for live sets. When you switch to a memory, instantly you have all the samples/tracks and effects to hand just as you left them. None of this "trying to get back to a vibe" thing like you usually have with older hardware - boom there it all is ready to roll.Overall - Love it :DLD50 Techno / @LD50303
Boss has created the end game of all loop pedals, although this is more like a table top mixer, feels more like youre a producer in a music studio. Once this is geared up with CTRL pedals this is so easy to use its ridiculous with all instruments. Beat boxers to live looping musicians will love it. What a great product - would highly recommend over RC-505 mk2 as they havent quite got the software worked out like the mk 1.
