Boss make good pedals and this is no exception. Not convinced the fidelity of the loop is as good as the original though. Get or make a NO momentary footswitch to stop the loop and hold to delete if you want to stop it reliably on time. Much simpler than double clicking with your foot.

Great Value Loop Pedal

Easy to use once you have it adjusted to the right settings. The instructions do explain how to cycle through the different settings, but they are not overly clear. The best thing to do is watch a YouTube video on how to set up the looper before using it, as many people (including myself) mistakenly think that it is not working when they first try to use it as it comes preset to a strange setting. Both recording and overdubbing is very easy. If you make a mistake, it’s very easy to delete your most recent overdub.

Boss RC-1

I'm playing with looper on stage alone as "one man band" and I'm satisfied by this equipment. It's enough to play alive with one instrument and voice.

Very easy and intuitive looper

It’s the go for option for starting the journey with looping. Nice tone quality and not very complicated

Great for practice

I use this looper for practice purposes. I don’t really get too fancy with it, maximum 3 overlays, I mainly use it for practicing solos over a single rhythm section.

An excellent basic looper!

I have always loved the ingenious industrial design of the Boss compact pedals, first introduced back in 1977! Due to the way everything is laid out, the knobs are always protected from being accidentaly stepped on, and the pedal itself is large and really easy to press even with bare feet, which could never be said about the small round metal footswitches of most of its competitors. My first looper pedal was the original TC Electronic Ditto, and the footswitch was the primary reason I no longer have it. The pedal itself was smaller than the Boss, but a slightly increased size is a sacrifice I am more than willing to make for the sake of improved comfort. Also, the RC-1 has an extremely convenient round loop indicator which serves as a sort of progress bar of the loop, so you can always know when it is nearing the end and overdub it or simply turn it off at the right time. Lastly, I read the manual and discovered an amazing feature I did not even know the RC-1 had: apparently it can be set whether it goes right into the overdubbing mode when you press the pedal to stop the recording, or whether it just starts playing the recorded loop. I think, it is very convenient, especially for musicians who use multi-layered loops live.

Solid Looper Pedal

I'm using it for about a month now it has no really audible noise, the Knob feels pretty well, it's in a well-built metal-case and does it's job perfectly well whether it's on a Powersupply or through a 9V-block.

Nothing bad to say about it, it does the job just as good as you'd expect for the pricet-tag if not better.
