One more accessory, add a splitter (e.g. Humdinger by Gigrig) before the RC-500. Send output A of the splitter to your amp. Send output B to the RC-500 (which carries the live instrument signal as well). Assign output A of the RC-500 to recorded loops and output B to the drum/rhythm sounds. Now, there are three independent outputs: live guitar/instrument, drums, recorded loops. This allows independent track recording, independent sending of click tracks to drummers, independent sounds to the mixer of all three signals. This overcomes the two output only issue of the RC-500. The RC-600 does not require a splitter because it has many outputs.

I use an A/B switch for my microphone so that I can use one mic and just toggle between going straight to my board or to the RC-500. It’s been very effective for making clean vocal or hand percussion loops.

Great video Ben! For my setup (RC10r) the most important accessory is the boss FS footswitches. I use 2x FS5U as they do not require any power. The second most important one is the proper Boss power supply. All other power supplies i have used create noise in the system. The boss one is silent, so if you're not operating on battery it is a must in my view.

Hey Ben, thanks a lot for all this information. I'm having trouble figuring out how to assign functions to an expression pedal. All I really want to do is be able to control the volume of loops via expression, any advice on that?

How can I plug to the boss rc500 an Akai mini mk3 in order to make piano and drums with the pads and make loops (without computer/daw)? I found a pianoengine from midiplus can give sounds to the akai without pc/daw, but is possible to connect to the boss? Or maybe the boss have some sounds in presets that I can play if I plug in some way the akai directly?

Another nice video, Ben. All good, sound advice. When you use your Nektar Pacer midi footswitch, can you get the RC-500 to start playback with one press on a footswitch to send a CC command and stop playback with one press on the same footswitch to send the same CC command? With my Harley Benton MP-100 I find that I have to press a footswitch twice to change from playback to stop and twice again to change from stop to playback.

Great vid - what's the easiest way to loop in a midi/USB keyboard (like my Novation Launchkey25) that just has midi out and USB but no line out? Right now I have midi keyboard --> usb out --> iPad USB adapter --> iPad --> 3.5mm out --> 1/4" RC500 in, which seems really cumbersome.

Great videos Ben! Thank you for the info. I’m struggling with finding the right PSU adapter for the pacer. Do you have a link for that? (PSU 9V / 600mA center negative 2.1). Searching amazon has been a struggle getting the right adapters to populate (surprisingly). 🤷♀️

Hi Ben and fellow loopers, I am very hyped for the RC-600 and your videos on it, there is one thing I wasn't able to find out, I have two FS-6 footswitches hooked up to my RC-300, but if I am changing to the RC-600 I will need an Expression Pedal (which the RC-300 has, but the RC-600 won't have), will I be able to use a midi Expression Pedal (I have almost no experience with midi) with the RC-600 and continiue to use the two FS-6 pedals, or will I have to use one of the two footswitch jacks for an expression pedal?

Hey man, love your videos, I’ve been watching your stuff for a few months now and your content is super detailed and helpful! I’ve got the RC500 and I’m running it for my acoustic gigs. I currently have the Boss F6 external foot switch that I’ve set up to control my Rhythm on/off. Once I’ve recorded a loop over the rhythm, there are situations where I want to stop that guitar loop (eg. for a bridge/chorus chord changes) however once I stop that guitar loop it also stops my Rhythm beat when I’d like that rhythm start/stop to be completely independent of the RC500s stop button and only controlled by my external foot switch. I’ve played around with a heap of settings with no luck so I’m wondering if you have had any experience with being able to do this in your set up? I do have a little work-around where I will record my guitar loop on track 1 then switch to track 2 press record for a few seconds to record nothing and then once this ‘nothing track’ is continually running I can go back to track 1 and stop it when I need to and the rhythm will keep playing as the ‘nothing track 2’ is playing in the background. So it’s fine but if there is a way where I don’t have to record that track 2 of nothing then that would be ideal. Any tips from yourself or anyone who reads this comment running the RC500 would be awesome! Anyway keep up the awesome content man! Cheers
