Los Angeles, CA, January 13, 2011 — BOSS is proud to announce the RC-30 and RC-3 Loop Station pedals, the latest additions to its industry-leading lineup of pedal-based loop recorders. Featuring high-powered digital signal processing, stereo operation, and new cutting-edge features, these battery-powered loopers are worthy successors to BOSS’ top-selling RC-20XL and RC-2 Loop Station pedals.
Live looping has become an increasingly popular means of creative expression for musicians everywhere, and BOSS’ portable, affordable, and simple-to-use Loop Station products have played a pivotal role in the rise of this new type of performing. Now, powered by BOSS’ proprietary ESC2 DSP chip, the RC-30 and RC-3 Loop Stations offer looping musicians the most powerful and best-sounding tools yet available for recording and manipulating audio loops live and in the studio.
The RC-3 is the RC-30's kid brother, housed in a rugged BOSS compact pedal chassis. The RC-3 offers all the essential features of the RC-30 in smaller package, including stereo I/O, up to three hours of stereo recording and loop storage, 99 onboard memories, USB 2.0, and built-in rhythms. Users can connect an optional BOSS FS-5U Foot Switch for additional foot control if desired.

| 2018-04-20 | ziaziala | 6/10 | Great for long loops, particularly layered vocals. I love that I can save loops to it. | The loops volume dips when your dry signal gets loud. It gets worse as everything gets louder which is why I mostly use this for vocals. | |
| 2017-07-06 | Kozmyk | 9/10 | Still getting to grips. Has powerful functions. Written a song with it almost straight away though. | ... | |
