Loopers opened up a whole new world to me- anyone playing alone should do themselves a huge favor- get one and don't stop until you can use it efficiently. Their sis something about making real music instead of just sitting around noodling- it puts you a fast track to getting much, much better. Your timing improves, your creativity improves, but most of all- it's just a lot more fun.

[@justjasonrh]

HAHA Lee trying to keep getting in with the Cow Bell, Classic.

[@kevinoconnor1396]

You can never have enough cow bell ...

[@gottastayfocused]

I have to say you two guys never cease to amaze me!! Hands down my favorite music site I visit! And you make understanding these products so easy! Thank you for always making me smile and laugh!

[@taylorschereck5002]

Just bought one of these about a week ago and it’s the best piece of music equipment I’ve purchased in a long time. Thanks for the great review guys!

[@darrellrobinson9354]

I'm amazed at Pete's looping skills. By the time I've layered three or four loops, everything sounds like a train wreck.

[@stoneysdead689]

Make your first loop a click track- then you can line everything else up on the clicks- everything works.

[@bluenotgreen63]

I think it was my train that hit yours. 😂

[@dep1001]

Yes, Mr Pete! That last loop... delicious my dude! Thanks

[@AdamWhiteAcupuncture]

Thanks for the great video. Pete's comments about the switches having high accuracy is spot on. I find the the RC-500 easy to use, super flexible, creative, and fun. My previous looper (was not a Boss) was much harder to hit the one. On the RC-500, seems easy to punch in and out accurately. Much easier time with seamless loops. So happy, highly recommended and way better than expected.

[@spankyhanderson3680]

You missed the golden opportunity to loop in audio of Christopher Walken requesting a greater abundance of a certain percussion instrument.

[@sboy1955]

More Cow Bell!

[@billsstudio2528]

Loop at end was killer. Great feeling / playing Pete!!😊

[@bobt7484]

I was looking to upgrade from my Ditto and RC-1. Your review has probably convinced me to get the RC-500. The 300 & 600 are awesome, but probably more than I need for home use. This looks just about right. Great video and playing as usual!

[@bradenstrublemusic4261]

Anytime BOSS comes out with a new looper I get pumped😤🥳

[@BenRowlandsMusic]

The BOSS RC-500 is amazing, so far so good!! Got my full review coming tomorrow! Great vid guys!!

[@Can.M.]

I felt the relax deepness you shared with us Mr. Pete. Thank you guys for making this video series.

[@MALO-nf1qz]

Really great playing, Pete is a oneman Show. Need to practice with my Looper... 😁

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Pete you lovely Tele player; the Looper King! Best in the business. Thanks for the upload, truly inspiring indeed.

[@Sweepdog700]

Loved this. Best one I’ve watched so far.

[@Andredecan]

Lee looks so happy in that opening loop! 🤣

[@andretorquato4163]

good taste for showing up this pedal. super nice.

[@bdaquatics7584]

This is AMAZING. Love you guys. Killer content as usual. You SOLD me on this looper btw lol

[@whitelightparanormal1389]

I love you guys!! Always make me smile!!

[@AndyCopps]

Brilliant stuff guys. Thank you!

[@geoffreycarter3981]

I would pay money to see Pete make a 13 hour loop.

[@MaTTheWish]

Beautiful outro, 15:10, had to rewind a few times. Really beautiful!

[@JohnSmith-ze6mz]

Funny bit at the start boys! Keep it up!

[@GuardMike]

Dear god that intro looping jam was amazing

[@chadrinehart8298]

AWESOME, would pay to see this live! Bravo!

[@miguelaventure]

I won't buy the pedal, but it's super nice to see you having so much fun! keep doing the happiness stuff!

[@crikey204]

somedays i don't know if i listen to you guys for product reviews or for those sick chord progressions you do!

[@MrAdrigil]

Excuse me! I'll listen to the Intro Loop again. See you! Greetings from Argentina!

[@kevinmorris7722]

Wow. Lee is hilarious. And Pete is so so good at it. Nice guys.

[@nicholascrow8133]

I could watch that intro loop all day just for Lee's mannerisms!

[@DavidHaile_profile]

That’s fun. I just bought the RC5. After seeing this video I think I’ll return it and buy the RC500.

[@davemoore843]

I'm in tears!!!

[@edwright6994]

Ok fine you've convinced me I'll get a looper

[@lucenarennan]

dang Pete, you are genius man! Great content!

[@robertstonecipher6431]

I would just like to say thanks to the CAPTAIN & PETE & ROB CHAPPERS all you guitar loving people that make me smile and I have a good time watching these fun videos THANK YOU THANK YOU😃

[@dee_zett]

15:06 And the show goes on. Sooo great, Pete.❤︎

[@aigartua]

Pete is mounstrous at guitar. Give him a lopper and he could stop all wars on earth

[@Gele_Rodrigo]

good video. I'm watching several tutorials for this pedal and I've realized that it has a bug when playing track 2, the first time it's played right after recording, a few tenths of a second of recording disappears, it's like it started late.... and I have seen it in other videos of this pedal. The truth is that I am quite disappointed because I have ordered it from Thomann. it's a shame 😔

[@Asterix0205]

So when is Pete coming out with an album for these loops? I want to buy/listen to them

[@gavinrobertcarmody2547]

Nice vid guys! Think I'm gonna go for this looper, what amp are you playing through? and can the mic and guitar etc, all go through the same amp?

[@martintaylor1701]

Eat - sleep - Pete - RePete

[@somerandomhomeboy]

Dude! That should be an Anderson's T-shirt 👕!

[@vhollund]

Loop

[@maribalam]

Pete should have his own signature looper pedal.

[@ChrisDeJuanMusic]

Nice one guys, always enjoy your reviews! Is it possible to connect a guitar in to input A/mono and lets say a keyboard/synth in to input B? Also, did you have the outputs connected to a PA or directly to the guitar amps? Cheers! :)

[@jefgirdler7232]

Good lord Pete, that off-the-cuff loop @9:45 was TASTY. Also I find it slightly hysterical that you almost have to INTENTIONALLY miss the end of the loop to show off that the pedal will auto-quantize the loop

[@propositionjohnston]

Thanks for your video - very insightful. I'm a bit bummed at the lack of different rhythm types. It's very Latin heavy. There's no reggae one drop or ska, Drum and bass, and no Country (really). I bought this pedal on a whim and wish i'd played through the rhythms before I pulled the trigger. Editable drums would be so so brilliant. I really hope there are are more patterns on a firmware update...

[@thegaindane]

Mr. Danish Pete is the loop meister, if there ever was one 😁👍

[@petergray453]

RC-10r also gives you an option to record two separate tracks that run at the same time.

[@antematijevic3883]

Could someone PLEASE tell me which pedal or effect does he turn on when recording the loop at the end od the show? The first pedal on his left side when he starts recording his guitar sound after he is done with 'percussions'. Pleaseee

[@walleviolencia]

Great outro-track!

[@kabinski1]

Brilliant, as always, gentlemen! Quick question… what brand of stool are you all using and where can I purchase one? Andertons? Thanks!

[@LolMahmood]

Is it possible to set up the footswitches on the RC-500 to trigger pre-recorded backing tracks (imported from a computer) without needing to link it to an external footswitch unit like an FS-6?

[@martinaleksandrov7080]

Hi everyone! I have an issue with RC-5 & Rc-505. When using the loopers as midi clock slave devices, synced to Maschine software, there are glitches / artefacts all over the place. BOSS recommends to turn Tempo Sync off for each track to avoid those issues, but this led to another issue (tracks start / skip bars / stop randomly). SO that was not a solution. I have contacted BOSS about this, they said they tested it with Ableton and it works fine, but in general their loopers dont like to be slaved. However, no matter how i put the MIDI settings on the looper, nothing helps. Is this also the case with RC-500?

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

I picked one up this week. While the guitar shop I was in wasn’t much help in setting me up with it, at home I’ve made terrifically fun loops and multipart pieces. For a beginner it’s like a light saber in the hands of a child. But for a more adventurous experienced player, it’s gold.

[@Rluce75]

You don’t like lightsabers?!?! 😄

[@pavelrehak8046]

Thanks for the video. I have a question. Is it possible to assign a pedal to switch between two different drums? And I would also like to know if I can have different drums assigned to each of the two tracks. Thank you

[@sboy1955]

Loop us out..and he did..and a fine job of it!

[@stephencarey6114]

utterly sublime

[@MikaelKonradsson]

Would you be able to plug in lets say the Digitech SDRUM and use that as a one-shot drum machine and record that to any of the 2 tracks? And would that quantize and sync the same way as in the video? :)

[@buddyboy66]

is it possible to save a loop using one of the foot pedals (even extension pedals)? i cant find any reference to this anywhere.

[@kacperkrosnicki]

Can you change presets during loops? So for example i have my verse saved and than i want to go to my chorus. Is it possible?

[@brandonanderson2066]

That thing is awesome

[@imacashew.]

So it appears you don’t have to hit the switch on the 1 count now for your layered tracks??

[@bradcarter6396]

Sooo cool!

[@mr.deafeningguitar1547]

Lee is so happy - like a little boy on a last day of school.

[@VodkaSelekta]

You know it's going to be a good video when Danish Pete breaks out the maracas.

[@CorbCorbin]

Cuban Pete! 😆

[@brandonanderson2066]

He keeps them on his belt at all times.

[@leo777lee]

chorus verse chorus work..? has it 2 independent loops? can you switch between verse and chorus...? if yes how do you do it, please

[@ireneuszgargala240]

Great video. If anyone could help me. How should I connect RC500 with my Boss GT1 guitar processor and then to the stereo PA mixer? What cables should I use? ( balanced or unbalanced) Thank you in advance:) I'm a completely novice with these things Kind regards

[@speedieandrea]

My two favorite gear knuckle heads on KZbin 🤪

[@blueeyedsoulman]

Can you switch phrase memory's while the looper is in play mode?

[@scottgraham6717]

“Well guess what! I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell!” Wondering I this a thing in the UK? Great SNL skit from 2000.

[@ti3rrAnd3ntro]

So cool!!!

[@donaldmcmillan5529]

I just bought the RC-10R... They keep coming out with new and better stuff...

[@rob28781]

...and there's me still struggling with my RC-1 haha!

[@stevenwelp7165]

Please don't erase the out-tro Peter! Wowza!

[@jannawithrow4067]

That's a Kool pedal ❤

[@dennism7532]

OK so there is an instrument in and out but where does the out come from for the microphone?

[@TheSmegHammer]

Shout out to the random can of Fast Fret in the centre of the rug. I feel it was just awaiting its chance to shine as an improvised percussive device of some sort, but alas it wasn't to be. I see you little guy, I see you.

[@DMACK1981]

They are saying the tracks can be quantized. The owners manual mentions nothing of a quantizing feature. Can anyone verify? Thanks!

[@KingdomOfHydra]

Pete is a master at looping!!! I’ve just bought this pedal… but I’m new to this stuff! I’ve got the Boss Katana MKII 100W amp… and checking out how to setup it? But cannot find a clear path how to signal it with my katana amp? Somebody can help me out? I guess guitar in the katana amp input.. input B RC500 -> Effects send loop katana / Output B RC 500 to effects Return katana amp? Thx in advance! 🎸🤘

[@WingManEight]

Could have been a collaboration with Dirty Loops :D The loops sure were tasty !

[@ashtweth]

Every time i watch this channel my wallet gets screwed. Bloody hell man. (Great)

[@karll3119]

Ahahaha. I kept on sayin' this "2.5th beat yap" the whole day. Too funny! thank you for the laughs

[@ledhendrix5054]

Ive been using a TC Electronic Ditto X2 for a while and found it to be unreliable , it would sometimes freeze while using it , Just got a Boss RC500 and been sweet so far XX

[@CorbCorbin]

Lee’s sad face made me spit my coffee out.

[@TroyShahanMusic]

What’s the maximum length you can make the loop?

[@Kamy.GG.Official]

Pete is a master 🔥💥

[@lufermartins]

@12:00 I would like to know what is it like using RC 500 in Portuguese

[@johnpower2018]

I have simple question and hope I can get a simple answer. It relates to being able to switch to a different loop and have it play immediately with no delay. If that can be done I will buy this loop device. Let me use one of our songs, That's Amore as an example. I am sure you are familiar with it. The song starts slowly with the "In Napoli...." intro. For this we use a steady tambourine sound, just shaking the tambourine. When the verse starts we have a 3/4 time percussion loop we use since of course it is a Waltz. When the song gets to what I will call the bridge "when you walk in a dream but you know you're not dreaming signore" we need to switch back to the tambourine and when that is done and you get back to "scusa me but in old Napoli that's amore" part we need to switch immediately back to the 3/4 time percussion loop. I tried to do this with my R-5 and footswitch using 2 adjacent memory locations and there is an annoying delay when switching back and forth so It will not work with the R-5 (unless I am just not doing it right). Can this RC-500 do what we need done? We do not play this song this to a fixed tempo so when I need to make the switch to the needed loop it needs to be an immediately change. We do this type of thing with a number of songs. I might post this question on a few other review videos since I need an answer to this important question.

[@keithh8661]

Too Cool for School ,what fun

[@MarkSchuster-ym3iy]

I suppose they could add a link in link out so one clock runs multiple loopers

[@TheOrphicLyre]

Oh shit I need this one too

[@joguipo]

Great vid again guys! One question... How easy is it to swap the looping order (rec/play/dub- rec/dub/play)? Cause it's a pain in the RC30

[@lauriehwrdlh]

One setting in the menu. Very easy. Just need to save it to the bank or you lose it when you go to the next phrase

[@michaeldinunzio3002]

I love your videos! Question after you created a loop on the rc-500 can you add the drums to loop you just created? Will the drums sync? can the rc-500

[@lauriehwrdlh]

Yes it can but not always perfectly. Is one big win over the RC10r in my opinion.

[@LOFIGSD]

Needs more Cowbell, lots of Loopers for Sale in February on Ebay then. Looper King got to be Ben McGarity, well worth checking his Videos out lots of cool ideas.

[@garethnaicker4225]

What chord was that Pete? A good chord Lee...

[@mr.deafeningguitar1547]

😂

[@youssefkasim7556]

I love it

[@erickarellano997]

I still want to know that chord progression it was sooo groovy.

[@pronumeral1446]

Pete - you need to check out Samurai Guitarist's video "the hardest thing I can do on guitar" - he waits a whole bunch of beats and strums on time.

[@be0001]

Best. Intro. Ever.

[@xxnonstopdancingxx]

When I route my inputs to outputs A (mic) and output B (guitar) I get a huge volume jump on playback. Can only use the pedal this way if i set the track volume sliders way down to around 10 (100 is the mid point or supposed unity). Really frustrating and no answer from Boss as to why it is the case. I think I’ll have to send it back, too frustrating to be useable without the input and the output being naturally matched.

[@urospodboj7535]

Can you use 2 tracks for like verse and chorus and switch between them?

[@JeeWeeDonkers]

yes you can. check my videos on that subject. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJ-Th2qqiZadmKs

[@bielartur]

Guys, it's a great review and a lot of fun as always but neither RC-500 nor RC-5 have 96 kHz :) They both run on 44.1 kHz, as per specs on Boss website :)

[@Journeymanlive]

32bits float though, pretty cool!
