Easy to pick up, easy to master

No menu diving. No unnecessary complexity. RC-5 uses a single pedal for recording, overdubbing, undo/redo, and deleting. For more control, use the volume and menu control dial to accessing more advanced features that take your practise and performance to the next level.

Intuitive interface for understanding at a glance

Featuring the most advanced interface available in a compact pedal, RC-5 is easy to pick up, plug in, and play. Keep an eye on loop status with the multi-colour LCD display, see which mode you’re in with a glance, edit tracks, and stay in perfect time with a flashing tempo light.

Fast processing power keeps your loops sounding perfect

No quality loss, no matter how many overdubs you add.
Thanks to its best-in-class 32-bit AD/DA sound engine and 32-bit floating-point processing, the RC-5 offers crystal clear, studio-level tone, and super-fast input response.

A dynamic tool for practice

RC-5 gives you an inspiring platform to practise your playing. Use the rhythm samples to get a beat, lay down multiple tracks to jam over, play around with song structure, or load your own samples to discover your sound faster.

Compact size. Big impact.

RC-5’s compact size takes up minimal space on your pedalboard while packing in dozens of powerful features.

Go portable with 9v batteries for around two hours of play time, or plug in an AC power supply to keep it running as long as you need.

Enough space to store your whole set

Store and recall up to 13 hours of audio across 99 user tracks using the onboard memory. Enough space for even the longest of sets and samples.

For more control, connect to a computer via USB to quickly swap tracks and samples.
