The New Benchmark in the Loop Station Series
Heir to the legendary BOSS Loop Stations, the RC-600 establishes itself as the flagship in pedalboard format. It carries forward the spirit of iconic models while pushing the boundaries of live looping: more tracks, more effects, impeccable 32-bit sound, and a workflow designed for both stage and studio.
Who Is It For?
Guitarists, singers, beatboxers, keyboardists, multi-instrumentalists, and one-man bands will find here a reliable nerve center for composition, live performance, and streaming. Whether you play pop, rock, folk, ambient, electronic, or worship music, the RC-600 integrates easily on a pedalboard, in a home studio, or in a hybrid guitar/vocal setup.
Controls and Connectivity for Total Control
The 9 freely assignable footswitches, combined with 3 pedal modes, provide direct access to recording, overdub, stop, mute, section variations, and Tap Tempo. Two inputs for external controllers accept either footswitches or expression pedals, while the "Assign" function allows up to 16 parameters to be mapped to specific gestures. On the I/O side, you have 2 XLR inputs with phantom power for microphones, 2 pairs of line inputs for instruments/drum machines, and 3 pairs of assignable stereo outputs for advanced routing. USB facilitates saving/importing WAV loops and integration with your audio workstation.
Sound Quality
Thanks to the 32-bit engine and generous headroom, the RC-600 captures your playing with exemplary transparency, clear transients, and intact dynamics. Input FX shape the signal before recording (preamp, comp, pitch, harmonies, guitar-to-bass simulator), while Track FX (Beat Scatter, filters, delays, textures) animate your layers perfectly synchronized with the tempo. The result: dense, stable loops that groove and respond to nuance.
