RC 202 Loop station

The BOSS RC-202 offers club performers, electronic musicians, and beatboxers powerful looping functions and multi-effects in a compact tabletop device. The RC-202 features two tracks, resembling the look and operation of the popular RC-505 Loop Station, but comes with numerous innovations. Four "Input" and four "Track" effect blocks are available simultaneously. Loops can be saved in real-time, allowing the performance to continue seamlessly. The footswitch and MIDI functions have been significantly expanded to enable guitarists, keyboardists, and other musicians to operate hands-free. The RC-202 provides two stereo loops with separate controls and animated status indicators. The 64 phrase memories (distributed across 8 convenient banks) allow for easy saving and recalling of loop creations at any time. If a track is working, you can save it during playback without the audience noticing. The same applies to recalling saved phrases, which also occurs seamlessly and is suitable for complex arrangements.
