The compact and rugged RC-1 is ideal for all types of musicians, from guitarists and bassists to keyboardists, electronic wind players, and more. The user-friendly design keeps you focused on creativity, allowing you to explore ideas and experiment without being inhibited by technical hurdles. Thanks to 12 minutes of stereo recording time, you can loop freely and capture everything from short grooves to long jams and improvisations.

The RC-1’s easy-to-read multicolor LED provides a wealth of information in a small space. It lights up brightly during recording, playback, and overdubbing, so your loop status is always clear. A circular indicator moves during operation, either in a continuous rotation to represent the entire loop length or a faster rotation that reflects subdivisions. This elegant display also serves as a handy visual aid to confirm stop, erase, and undo/redo actions, meaning you know exactly what’s going on every step of the way.
