RC-1 : Great for the price

Was looking for an affordable first looper and immediately had my eyes on the RC-1.

It's quite basic and great if you haven't used a looper before.

The only control you have is a level knob wich adjusts the volume of the loop.

The ring display is great to keep track of where you are in the loop, it makes it easier to do more timing based overdubs.

The single footswitch tap-doubletap control is a bit clumsy but usable. I'm definetly planning on getting the boss footswitch for it, that should make operation much smoother.

You can also change the way the pedal works by methods described in the manual. This way you can configure it to better fit your taste.

Overall, for the price, this is a great first-time looper.

Pros:

affordable

simple design

ring display helps keeping track

changeable configuration

Cons:

Single switch makes operation a bit clumsy

drains batteries very quickly
