Boss RC-202 Loop Station USB Audio/MIDI Looper, 2 Stereo Tracks, Onboard FX

Attention DJs, club performers, beatboxers, and all sorts of electronic musicians: BOSS packed the powerful looping and multi-effects you need in the RC-202, a compact tabletop unit. Recognizing the success of their RC-505, the RC-202 keeps the same look and feel of its big brother while bringing even more features on board. Four Input FX and four Track FX are available simultaneously, and loops can be saved in real time, making your music-making performance flow naturally. Live musicians will also appreciate the RC-202's expanded foot control, allowing looping capability while their hands are full with their guitar or keyboard.

Its powerful multi-effects capabilities offer more real-time processing than any other looper on the market. Enhance your recording with Input FX like P. Shift, Lo-Fi, Ring Mod, and more. The Track FX are sampler effects for high-impact processing during playback and include Beat, Filter, and Slicer. Large knobs allow for quick and easy alterations to your effects in play.

Although there's already so much on board, its connectivity options make possibilities endless. Input jacks can connect up to two footswitches or an expression pedal. Alternatively, connect a MIDI foot controller or MIDI keyboard for ultimate control. MIDI can also sync your RC-202 with another RC-202, an RC-505, or even other devices like drum machines. Several audio input options can be used simultaneously to mix and loop as you perform. And the USB input can be used to archive WAV loops, load up favorite backing tracks, or as a USB interface with your favorite performing software.
