@@Steve91694 1:40 he explains how to switch it from "RO" (overdub) mode to "RP" (playback) mode. Only way to make it record after one tap prior to any playback is to reset the loop channel (hold down the pedal for 2 seconds). You can also google the RC-3 owner's manual. Hope this helps!

Thanx for this video, its simple, but so necessary because the manual written by BOSS is just bad for beginners. As a beginner you don't start with overdubbing, You want to create a one layer loop and then solo over it. In the manual you find this most valuable information just on page 19!. These guys in the video bring it first!

I just got this pedal like within the last couple days. I almost was about to get rid of it bc I thought that it was just stuck the way it was and I thought how is everyone making it work and I can’t. The bit where you showed how to change it to record/play just saved me from getting rid of it So glad you two made this video

Rc3 is by far for me the best looper I've tried shed loads of functionality, reasonably priced, doesn't take up a lot of room and excellent audio quality
@ImseanIguess10 ай бұрын
record to play mode helped me a lot - great tip at the beginning!!! I would often get a great first loop but then mess up the immediately recorded second 'overdub' loop. It makes much more sense to me in the second mode

@JakelikejakefromSF49364 жыл бұрын
I've owned this pedal for several years and I still stand behind it as an extremely useful tool for practice. With a little patience and a little tinkering, one can figure this thing out rather easily. It's way more fun to practice over your own playing versus playing with a pre-made generic track or backing tracks. Get the Fs-5 external foot switch for maximum playability.
@waynelock29514 жыл бұрын
Can I ask what you most use the external pedal for? Is it just convenience (such as avoiding the double tap to stop) or do you gain extra features?
@JakelikejakefromSF49364 жыл бұрын
@@waynelock2951 basically convenience. No extra features. It works best for setting your tempo. Just tap your foot on the foot switch to set tempo. Also makes it easier and quicker to delete unwanted loop attempts, and also to stop the loop altogether. Makes the loop pedal a little more "hands free" I suppose.

NO...the FISRT thing you need to know that is that you have to PLUG IT IN TO TURN IT ON. I’ve had so many people call me saying “this thing doesn’t work’. So notice that Output A says “power on” right above it, obvious to anyone who was looking (no one), and especially not if it’s your first pedal or looper. So plug in to Output A to turn it on. Anyway, other than that it’s a great tool, and thanks Reidys for a great job !!! ! At I:35 he mentions this !!!! Woohoooo
