Hi, can anyone help, I've got an RC5 to play my own original guitar backing tracks, so guitar, bass and drums live with an added guitar track. With this set up how can I use a click track for the drummer to keep in time with the RC5 bits? Anyone know what's best to do?
Cheers.
@@paulcavanagh1294I’m assuming it’s basically a start/stop all at the same time.
you are a genius!!!!!!! Thank you so much, since you explained it slowly and logically.
Many regards from Chris Bunch of flowers music
Hey Ben - love your RC-5 information. Of all the videos ( on this pedal ) . . . Your's is the most Clearly-explained and the easiest to understand, absorb & digest. Thanks for all the great-effort, you put into this. FS-6 takes it to a whole other level. I also use the FS-6. oNe LovE from NYC
Late to the party. Just bought an rc5 and was wondering how. You solved the problem very well! Thanks
Greetings from Canada! I treated myself to an RC-5 last week. What a great piece of gear. Thanks for making these excellent tutorials Ben. Liked and subscribed!
Outstanding video. Thanks so much for doing this. Boss's manuals leave much to be desired.
Ben - your udemy course on the Rc505 is amazing. Thank you so much! Great content.
Thanks man. This made my pedal come alive
Excellent! Thank you! No need to read a manual now.
Just got this RC-5 pedal with my Boss Katana 100 MKII and I have both… the GAFC-EX + XSonic footswitch coming. I don’t know to use it and I have band rehearsal today 🤦♂️… I love how things come at the last minute all at once
Awesome so that’s how get it to function like the rc-3!🙌
I’ve had the same issue with two FS-6 footswitches. They wear out and after a while, pressing one footswitch will trigger both.
This is why I think the FS-7 is a better design. Might not be higher quality components or whatever but it’s set up in a way that’s not so prone to failure.
First like hello from Mexico 🇲🇽 your Udemy courses are so great 👍🏻
Thank you so much!! I am really glad you enjoy them, and they help you learn more about your loop pedal!!
Simply explained thank you.
Very helpful thanks bud. I was wanting to get one to add my spare beat buddy to and my FS 6 so this really is a win
I've been going bonkers trying to figure out why I couldn't get the a button to work. Thank you for explaining I need a balanced trs❤
Thank you! This helped clarify some issues I was having and is fixed now
Thanx! I was told to beware of boss looper pedals because of all the tap dancing w foot switch. The external foot switches eliminate that 👍
No more tap dancing than any other single switch looper
Can a switch be programmed to toggle through the saved loops in the RC-5?
Thanx Ben, you are GREATLY APPRECIATED SIR!!!*
With the the foot switch can you switch between loops you already have saved, like different parts of a song, and do you need two buttons to operate this switching?
¡Gracias!
Thank you very much!
Great tutorial! is there a way to add additional loops with the foot switch?
So helpful! Thank you!
New to looping and your videos are VERY helpful! Thanks keen to know what the two outputs plugged in are going to.
Are there any expression "knobs" that are compatible with it? I'd like to have the ability to simply have a knob that controls the rhythm volume
Hey thanks a lot for all the cool info. Just a question: I would like to connect to my rc5 both an FS-6 (to control A stop/clear and B reverse mode) as well as an expression pedal (to control volume of the loop). Do you know if that would be possible? Would that mean I should connect the FS-6 to the midi-in‘s mini-jack in the back and the exp on the right? Would everything work like that? Thanks anybody in advance for an answer 🍻❤️
would be nice if you showed every possible function with the fs6
Thanks good stuff
I've been trying to make my RC-5 work with my Ampero control and/or my DigiTech FS3X. Not able to do it. Could you maybe try this?
For everybody who wants the information straight: 1:51
I have the boss katana mk2 100w amp single 12 speaker, I have the ga-fc and the fs-6. I also have a zoom g3xn running through the effects loop on the back of the amp. I just purchased the RC-5 and thought I would run it with the g3xn. Should I run it mono this way or should I run it from the A/B output of the FS-6? If so where would I run the output from the RC-5 to the amp?
That's why I was thinking of returning it mono to the effects loop down stream of the g3xn. What are your thoughts on this?
Can I use a splitter cable with the FS-6 and have the same results?
Thank you for this! Can I connect the Boss RC-1 to this?
I want to set one pedal for play/stop and the other for advancing forward and backward for loops. Can that be done or do I have use use one pedal for forward and one for backward?
Can you setup a button to select the next track like the RC 500?
Can we use any other dual foot switch ? Like the NUX NMP-2 or the Marshall foostswitch ?
Thanks for the vid. I wonder if you can use FS-7 to stop the loop just pressing once and to scroll the memory up and down or we have to do it manually, pressing some extra buttons in rc5.
Can we use other footswitch brand in the same looper?
What about on fs 7? I think its more compact and can save more space rather than having that fs6. I hope it has the same functionality too.
Thank you Sir! Please show me, how can i adjusted up and down volume of rhythm (Drum) on RC5 pedal. I feel the sound of Drum is too loud for the guitar volume. I want down volume of Drum, while keeping the guitar volume, i hope you can help me. Thank a lot!
Ben - I am mainly a solo acoustic player and new to looping. Thinking about buying a Boss RC-5. Does it make sense to buy this and the FS-6 pedal or would you recommend getting an RC-30 or RC-500 loop station? Thanks!
I’ll help you out a bit of you haven’t figured which one works for you. Question you need to ask yourself is will you be recording VOCALS as well? If so then the RC300 & 500 are your best bet. From there it’s personal choice but the 500 is just a smaller more compact version of the 300. Only difference is that instead of 3 phases (RC-300), you’ll only get 2 (RC-500). If it’s just guitar then go with the RC-5. HOWEVER, you can still have VOCALS on the RC-5 but it will be tied to your 1 giant loop on the RC-5. If no problems with that then go with RC-5.
I came to look for the settings on the FS6... No mention of that.. I would assume they are set momentary.. And boss recommends plugging in when the unit is off.. RTM..
Is there any way to use any old pedal as a foot switch?
Can we use the switch to play from my one loop to another, and then back?
I use the RC 3 with the FS 5 but not with a TRS cable but a splitter (A = stop/reject, B is next track). If I buy the RC5 do I need another cable or does this splitter works perfectly (one for A and One for B). Thanks
Do you think we use other brands? Example Blackstar dual foorswith? Or any other brands
hey, i want to use something to record a my rhythm track on, loop that, then play lead guitar over the top in a separate amp. can the RC-5 do this? is it possible to record a loop, then output the loop to amp 1, while I play in a separate amp 2 - I see their are 2 outputs?
Hello Ben, I've got this set up and most of the time it's good. However I'm finding out from time to time that when I press the external pedal my rc 5 pedal lights flicker and moves fast to another patch. I can't get out of that mode
Great job man, I have a separate footswitch but it only has one ring on the jack input, is that a major issue?
With the external footswitch, is RC5 clearing the track quietly, without playing it first? Are you able to clear it while playing/recording, without going to a stop first? So that you can go straight to start a new looping track?
On the control 2 record/play... is there a record, play, overdub setting? I'm not familiar with the Boss command set and cannot find anywhere that has the full command set where it makes sense in terms of understanding the command interface.
cool. how many undo's do u get with the RC-5 and the footswitch ?
Hey, great video! would really appreciate some help if possible. Using an FS-5U footswitch with my RC-3 Boss looping pedal to avoid that pesky double-tapping to stop the loop. The FS pedal stops the loop - but then immediately clears it so it is permanently deleted. I don't know why it's doing this, anyone had this before or get any suggestions? I'd be sincerely grateful - Cheers!
Change the RC5control settings from stop and clear to stop
Hi, if we map the FS AorB to the undo/redo function. Does it take only a single press or a press and hold 2secs to undo/redo ?
thank you for this video... may I ask if the rc-5 can be connected to rc 10-r via midi? thanks
Hey Ben - I can ask please, if inside the 99 patterns there are some drums that I have personally I put, connecting the RC 5 to my computer, so I use the drums made by me, but I still want to record my guitarbass on it live, when I will delete my guitarbass track with the FS 6 pedal, will I also delete the drums that I previously put into the pedal through my computer? I thank you in advance for your possible clarification
Please look up balanced vs. unbalanced, as neither apply to switch circuits, only audio/AC. Also, there is only one ring, ergo "TRS", for tip, ring, sleeve, with sleeve as gnd.
HI Ben thanks for all the info on the foot switch .Got a question if you can help me with . Now i have got the rc5 and loving it ,ive been on the boss tone studio and down loaded a sample to the rc5 but had to turn down the level on the loop setting to 1 because its so loud on 100 . level one is a nice bedroom level trouble is when i come to over dub on it because its on level 1 I cant hear my over dub . Is this normal or is it me doing something wrong in the settings
Cheers Derek
Hi Ben, is it possible to use an MAudio sustain pedal in place of a Boss footswitch? I'm guessing its basically the same as an FS5U, but I wouldn't want to damage my pedal if its not compatible.
Can I use 2 fs5u with a splitter cable with the boss rc-5?
What would you program the fs6 pedal for with the rc500 in single verse chorus mode? Thanks
I have a Chromebook and I'm trying to figure out how to get the rc- 5 software to work
Anyone tried both the FS-6 and the FS-7? Which do you prefer? Is the FS-6 easier to use?
Quick question my friend how should I set up the switchs in the back of the pedal latch and polarity
Please this is a simple question about the dipswitchs on the back of the FS 6 kind of important information no one else seems to be addressing this thanks in advance rb
Someone know how goes up and down memories with just one switch? I did it on rc 3 ; one press goes up , keeping press goes down but rc 5 doesn’t have that option.
I have the same question. If I had to guess, it'd be the "memory increase" / "memory decrease" functions you see at 4:54 mark. I am assuming you'd just assign that function to one of the switches. Really do wish he explained each function instead of just scrolling through to the functions he wanted.
Does anyone know how to switch drum variations with the pedal on a rc-5? Pls help
You can do this with a midi controller using CC messages.
Please show me, can i turn off rc5?
Turning the power on/off
The OUTPUT A (MONO) jack doubles as the power
switch. Power to the unit is turned on when you plug
into the OUTPUT A (MONO) jack; the power is turned
off when the cable is unplugged.
Um
Only 2 buttons? This needs to be 2x2, up-down....come on man
What functions would you assign to the extra two buttons?
@@LBNLDC1, I don't have the RC-5 anymore, at the time I only found the memory up & memory down useful (barely) for me, if I had planned, set & saved the tracks in advance.
He gets to the point at 1:45....you can skip all the intro
you are speaking toooooo fast if this is a tutorial you need to speask slower sir. thank you vm
