RC-2

The Boss RC-2 Loop Station Pedal, is Boss's original attempt at constructing a pedal that would allow a musician to either:

• pre-record loops for subsequent performance playback, or
• record loops during performance to allow the possibility of more extendable and extended "jam" session performances.

Subsequent Versions:

• RC-3
• RC-1

The Boss RC-2 is no longer being made.

Schematic

Attempts to find a schematic have been completely fruitless. We are unaware of any schematic, and are not surprised as we understand this pedal to be a digital device with the controls running from software, not hardware. In such an instance, a schematic is not helpful to any educational or modification efforts.

Artists

We are currently unaware of any artists actively using the pedal now, or who have in the past.
