Used Boss LOOP STATION RC-2 Looper Pedal

Boss RC-2 Loop Station

"Record, Layer, Loop—All in One Box"

Compact Looping with Big Potential

The RC-2 was Boss’s first compact loop station, packing the looping power of its larger siblings into a single stompbox. With up to 16 minutes of recording time, 11 phrase memory slots, and built-in rhythm patterns, it’s ideal for solo performers, songwriters, and practice sessions. Features like Loop Quantize, Tap Tempo, and Undo/Redo make it surprisingly versatile for its size.

Artists Who’ve Used Boss Loop Stations

Boss loopers have been embraced by a wide range of artists, including Ed Sheeran, KT Tunstall, Reggie Watts, and Phil Keaggy. While newer models like the RC-3 and RC-505 have taken center stage, the RC-2 remains a favorite among minimalist loopers and pedalboard purists.
