BOSS RC505 Mk2 Review: The most HONEST review you need.

Hi, my name is BreZ. I've been looping since 2009. I've won a few loopstation competitions, and since 4 years now, looping is my full time job! I know a few things about the machine, and I'll share with you what I believe are the best features with the RC505 loopstation.

Great review. My biggest issue, as said, is the fragility. Something I think worth mentioning is that later on in the devices life, the buttons will be less responsive. It'll depend on how rough you are with the device. This happened about 2 years after use for me, and some buttons became almost impossible to use. But theres 2 solutions. One is using, if you have one, your warranty and hoping that your device gets fixed. If for some reason that doesn't work, the second solution would be cleaning the loopstation yourself. Be mindful that this voids warranty. Thank you BreZ for the little shoutout. And an addition to what I said about the buttons on the machine, I'm also working on a video of how to clean your loopstation so that buttons become responsive again. 👌

[@BreZBeatbox]

Thank you for the input man. Totally agree with that!

[@Brad_the_Wizard]

And if anyone wants a tutorial on how to clean the outside, I've made a tutorial on that as well :D Love your work MrEsuoh

20:10 That Bounce Effect Is a game killer 😂😂😂 That's so overpowered... It can not only improve the mix in your drums & melody but it can also add tons more variety in sound design since you literally can apply more effects to the sounds that have already been applied by four effects. If you really want to test the limits with musical sound design then this machine is literally perfect for you

[@zilong2916]

I can't wait for your performance at GBB this year, Good Luck Brez

[@giornogiovanna3228]

No, brez isn't participate in gbb 2024 because he had health issue

[@HannaSaraieva]

you explained it so well, even I wanna buy a loop station now🤭🤭

[@irielifestylez9703]

Could you make a tutorial for beginners with mk 2 . And how to use its features. Haven’t seen many good tutorials for mk2 on KZbin . Thanks for all your content . Very good . Rock on 🤘🏽

[@Jonas_31]

This is so cool, I think I should have gotten myself a mk2, I have a mk1 rn man seeing the potential with that machine is crazy

Best vocal looper out there imo in terms of style. All your songs slap. Great review of how much is actually possible with this machine

[@barnanbose5083]

Brez just increased the competition and level of looping in the upcoming years:)

[@soacker25]

Thank you so much❤

[@soroushbeatbox9899]

You didn't win GBB last year but for me you were the real winner because you were the only looper who released content and you created more good moments for us during the year And whether you win or lose this year, we will still support you. nice review !✌

[@thebehradz1137]

What a usefull video Brez 😮😮 thank you a lot ❤ now I'm sure about buying this ... I wish I get to have the money sooner :( 😅

It would be great to get a tutorial from you abt your wildcard. Would love to make it myself

[@planefusionart]

Appreciate the video... though I wish you would've talked about the changes they've implemented since your last video.

[@ColinFX]

Recently, I’ve lost all of my feel in 1 of my main 4 buttons on my MK2. It was my second looper that has hardly been used for less than a year. I talked with BenBeat and he has lost all of the feel all 4 of his knobs. These buttons easily lose their click and distinct feel that tells you if you’re switching a parameter by 1, 2, 3, etc. The durability of the machine is my biggest issue. It feels like it was cheaply made and the buttons seem to be wearing out too easily. My MK1 knob for switching things is still in good shape and still clicks even though I’ve used it constantly for 4 years. The product is good and big advancement but it’s a huge disappointment considering all of the software issues and the materials that were used to build the MK2. Boss needs to make the next model with metal or something stronger than plastic so we don’t have so many durability issues in the future.

[@BreZBeatbox]

The hardware is definitely an issue, unfortunately that's the one thing that cannot be changed now. It's a good loopstation if you don't handle it too much. I'd say, we, competitive loopers, have an intensive use of the machine. We are probably the most affected by this fragility issue.

[@chicksgrowtoo]

No offense, but just watching this guy, he mostly hits the button instead of just pushing them. I’m sure that’s from just performing…. I, personally, would just be careful (especially knowing it is not made well.) I was actually looking, in the comments, for someone to tell us a better, more durable machine to buy… 😢

[@iPATBbx]

This is really great! I also want to know how to do that thing on 10:00. That's really a game changer

[@anonymalz274]

Thanks for the 2nd review :) Had a used 505 mk2 that broke down, now going to try loopypro as it "seems" overpowered compared to the 505 but may come back to the mk2 if loopy doesn't cut it for me :)

[@gasparlopeztorales8080]

Not related to the video, but why are your outfits like the BEST thing ever? No joke, every video I see of you is just: 70% Damn this song goes hard 30% WHAT IS THAT OUTFIT HELLO??? 🔥

[@asiamoon77]

Hi Brez!!!❤❤❤

[@LondonSoundDimension]

I would have loved to see what issues they resolved out of the ones you mentioned on your previous video, thanks

[@kokerbeatbox]

@BreZBeatbox QUESTION: Is there still a problem with the Filter effect on Track effects after the last update? (I mean that this effect significantly mutes the main sound source when in use) It's terribly annoying.

[@davidcampling795]

Hey Thank you for the review. I didnt buy it before because of your Former Video. Is this all the MK 2 can do more than. The mk1?

[@thefarrage]

mk2 can do a lot more than the mk1

[@maximilianfeiler3585]

Maybe a Videos hoe you connect it to your laptop for This amazing Sound quality, i myself got a mac, which is making it a lot More difficult 😅

[@Justin_collier]

I went to look for this new software and v 1.30 is still the latest on the website i don’t see a new one yet can you tell me where to get the newest one that’s newer than v 1.30 ?

[@user-bg4sq8jq8n]

yo brez im really curious about what is the effect to cause the autotune at 16:22 nice vid as always

[@uunihogan415]

electric maybe

[@thefarrage]

electric with everything set to 0, and choose key on the second page

[@AnyLastWords_]

14:00 Whaaaaaat? I've been using my mk2 for a few months now and didn't even realize there was more than one bank of FX. Maybe I should stop playing with knobs and just read the effin manual for once lol

[@sntdv6054]

Great vid! I’m a beginner. Can anyone tell me please is it possible to turn on input effects only for one input, not for all of them.

[@BALDOCK_BBX]

so like have the input effects on say just a guitar and not the mic? yes thats possible! i believe press edit on an effect, go back a page and choose which input gets the effects.

[@Reload_BBX]

Yeah man 10 seconds 😊

[@Mad_Speed]

My biggest issue with the RC505 MKII is that it’s the price of a PS5 but would struggle to run DOOM. As a sound engineer living with a guitarist, I’ve used many other pieces of equipment from BOSS and they’re made of better materials and much more sturdy, yet everyone I know who has this looper has issues with the hardware even malfunctioning. It feels like a cheap cash grab.

Brez, hi,нравится твоё творчество, перевод твоих слов на твои Русский , многие не понимают что говоришь , а музыка заходит , мы , Я тебя слушаю , приезжай к нам , будем очень рады )

[@medak1139]

Is there any possibility of putting out a tutorial for songs made with mk2?

[@Appleloucious]

Is that mic you are using with the mk2 just trash or why does is sound super muted?

[@BALDOCK_BBX]

you hear it that way because he went from camera audio to mic audio

[@Appleloucious]

@@BALDOCK_BBX By that logic the camera would have a way better mic than the one he is using woth the mk2. So most prob not that!

[@BALDOCK_BBX]

@@Appleloucious ik what ur talking about, but what i mean is the camera audio is shit obvs but its more "free" and the loops mic is very close to his mouth and more direct if u know what i mean

[@shub5654]

Is it just me or competetors in producers category are using too much sound effects it almost sound like its not even beatboxing . I am not say this for him but I feel like others are doing it . Correct me if I am wrong.

[@mygoogle1525]

Do you preffer music sound like mouth farts ?

[@daewe]

yeah i agree but this comment has nothing to do with this video

[@thefarrage]

yes but that's just looping evolving. and its called producer not loopstation. kba and antrix didn't use a 505

[@finixss_1]

yeah well that's the whole purpose of the producer category, that's why there's producer and loopstation

Feels good to see your face on yt 🫶🏻
