Boss RC-600 Guitar Effect

BOSS RC-600 Loop Station — Six-Track Floor Looping Redefined

Designed for performers layering multiple instruments into live arrangements, this next-generation Loop Station brings together six independent stereo phrase tracks and 32-bit floating-point audio processing in a compact metal chassis. With nine assignable footswitches and three pedal modes, players get immediate access to track operations, effects, and rhythm controls—no menu diving required. Acting as a central hub for external gear, it offers MIDI sync, expression pedal support, and USB connectivity with BOSS Tone Studio, broadening its reach beyond the footswitches alone.

What Sets the RC-600 Apart from Other Loop Stations

Switch between loops 1–3, loops 4–6, and effects with a single row of footswitches, guided by color-coded LEDs on the track select button. When instrument input is detected, signal-activated Auto Rec begins recording automatically, allowing clean transitions between open intros and precisely timed loop sections.

Recording Capacity and Audio Fidelity for Multi-Track Layering

Maintain full clarity across every overdub on six independent stereo tracks at 32-bit resolution, whether stacking guitars, vocals, percussion, or sculpting ambient layers step by step.

• AD/DA Conversion: 32-bit — studio-grade signal fidelity across every track
• Maximum Recording Time: 1.5 hours per track, 13 hours total — extended capacity for long live sets and studio sessions
• Save your setup with 99 preset memories, each storing six tracks, effects chains, and control assignments for instant recall between songs

Inputs, Outputs, and Integration with External Gear

Set up easily with two XLR mic inputs with phantom power, stereo line inputs, three stereo output pairs, and a headphone jack. Route drums to a monitor while feeding guitars to front-of-house for flexible stage management.

• USB Type B: WAV import/export via BOSS Tone Studio, firmware updates, and rhythm pattern import with RC Rhythm Converter
