BOSS RC-202 Loop Station - Nearly New

Full Description

Looping Functionality

The main function of the RC-202 is to provide the user with the ability to create loops and play them back on the fly, whilst also being able to save and recall settings and loops at any time. The RC-202 features two stereo loops with fingertip controls, allowing you to easily create and control your loops. There are also 64 phrase memories that allow you to store and recall your loops creations, segregated into eight banks for easy access. This feature allows you to seamlessly switch between different loops, adding a new depth to your performance.

Performance Control

As well as offering a range of functions and settings for looping, the RC-202 panels is filled with varying hands-on buttons and knobs, giving you maximum controls while looping. There is also a jack on the unit for connecting external footswitches or an expression pedal. The built-in MIDI connection also allows you to connect a MIDI foot controllers or MIDI keyboard depending on what devices you need. The MIDI connections allows you to synchronise with an RC-505 or a second RC-202 as well as a range of other external devices to expand the performance value.

Connectivity

In addition to the MIDI and jack connections, the RC-202 features connections for microphones and instruments, plus a convenient stereo aux input for connecting more mainstream devices such as MP3 players. The built-in XLR mic input allows you to connect your microphone directly to the unit itself, perfect for beatboxers or vocalists who use their voice for looping. The mono/stereo instrument inputs allow you to connect a range of instruments from electric guitars to basses and more. The built-in USB connection lets you plug the device into your computer to export and archive WAV loops or load up phrases or sounds for sampler-style triggering. The unit will also function as a USB/MIDI audio interface, meaning you can easily connect and use the unit with your favourite DAW software, allowing you sync, record and edit everything from your computer.

Intensive FX

The RC-202 also features a wide range of built-in effects with more real-time processing than any other looper on the market. The unit provides you with Four Input and Track FX, available simultaneously. You can affect your loops in real-time, utilising such effects as Shift, Lo-Fi, Ring Modulation and more. The track FX features such effects as Filter, Slicer and Beat, providing you with DJ and sampler effects that can be edited to your desire. The effects can also be easily adjusted thanks to the large, easily-accessible knobs, allowing you to turn the effect on or off on the fly.
