About this item
- This fits your .
- by entering your model number.
- 1 piece
- BOSS pedals are delivered ex works with a battery attached, so the available power may vary. With the pedal, the circuit is activated as soon as a 6.35mm (mono) jack cable is plugged into the output jack. Regardless of whether the pedal is activated (looping) or not, the battery discharges. The average life is about 2 hours.
- Don’t leave the cable plugged in overnight
- Remove all batteries from the battery compartment, replace with a new, fresh (non-rechargeable) 9V battery, and then plug a mono or TS cable into the output socket. Both the power LED and the screen should then be activated. BOSS pedals also work with a 9-volt power supply. To check if the pedal is working, it should be tested with a battery first. Then removed the battery and an official BOSS Inserted the power supply and tested the pedal in the same way.

Window to Your WorldThe RC-5 features the most advanced interface available in any compact looper pedal. The LCD lets you keep an eye on loop status as you perform, with a backlight that changes color to indicate recording, overdub, and playback states. And coupled with the multi-function parameter knob, it’s quick and easy to navigate rhythms, kits, system settings, and more in the heat of the moment. | Deep ControlThe RC-5’s versatile pedal switch controls all looping functions—record, overdub, play, stop, and undo/redo. But deeper control is also supported if you need it. Connect up to two external footswitches for direct control of many assignable functions, or an expression pedal for continuous adjustments. Players with advanced systems will love the TRS MIDI I/O, which saves space and enables remote operation from MIDI switchers and foot controllers, plus MIDI sync with drum machines and DAWs. | Move and Groove, Forward and BackWith 57 preset rhythms and seven different drum kits, the RC-5 is ready to elevate loop and practice sessions with inspiring grooves for any style. For each rhythm, A/B variations can be selected from the panel or controlled via MIDI while performing. The RC-5’s looper engine also includes a cool reverse function that’s great for infusing your music with fresh sonic colors. | Capture, Practice, and PerformThe RC-5 provides 99 phrase memories, letting you store loops as fast as you create them. In addition to audio, a phrase memory includes the selected rhythm and kit, so it’s ready to go when you call it up. Loop audio can be backed up to a computer via USB. And with WAV import via BOSS Tone Studio, the RC-5 becomes a pedalboard playback hub for lesson material, jam tracks, or backing music for your next gig. |
