A loop station effect pedal is a great way to practice your improvisation techniques, put together entire songs, do some jamming or perform impressive compositions of live music. The loop pedal I am going to review today is the RC-2 Loop Station by Boss. It does everything that a great loop station should do, and is available at a very reasonable price. The pedal allows you to record, layer and loop samples of your guitar playing. Its other features, such as, tap tempo, auto start and advanced undo/redo make it a really easy piece of gear to use as well.

One of the main things I liked about this pedal was it’s user friendly interface. Everything that you need is right under your fingertips, and there are no confusing menus and sub-menus to navigate through. This makes a very viable piece of equipment to use when playing live. It’s size also allows it to fit in right beside your other stomp boxes without taking up precious space.

This stomp box is capable of recording and storing around 16 minutes of audio. The RC-2 will accept inputs from either your own musical instruments, or from external devices like MP3 players.

The sounds of the recorded audio samples stay entirely true to their recorded source. There is no loss of tone or presence at all. It sounds like you have a couple buddies jamming with you right in the room.
