Boss RC-300 – Release Date: 2011
The former Flagship Loop Station that held the Top Title in the Boss line up for over 10 years, this is the machine that other brands were trying to measure up to. Released in the year of the 10th Anniversary of Boss’s first Loop Station (the RC-20), they put everything they could into this awesome award winner, and a lot more!
Though seemingly archaic and primitive by today’s standards, this machine was cutting-edge and ground breaking technology a decade and a half ago. It could do everything that any previous loop station could do at the time, and was very stable and feature packed. Tho still operating with 16 Bit, 44.1Khz recording quality (as were almost all pedal based loop pedals and loop stations of the day), the RC-300 was one of the most durable, solid, versatile and complex peices of kit that a looping musician could add to a pedal board.
