Lee uses an RC-1 himself, has had the same one for several years & continues to use it almost daily.
Favorite features include:
Setting it so double tapping “erases at the end of the phrase”…
This is unique to the RC-1, and means you can capture a live loop while playing a progression, solo over it, and double tap to tell the pedal to erase after the phrase has completed, meaning you can allow yourself time to transition from Lead/rhythm playing and seamlessly carry on with the song with no interruption to the live performance.
This makes the RC-1 a professional performance tool, not just a home practice station.
The B output is massively useful for splitting your signal, either dual amping or simply taking a line from your board to the PA.
The RC-1 also uses Buffered Bypass which ensures your dry signal remains strong and doesn’t lose high-frequency “sparkle” when placed at the end of a long chain. When placed at the end of your pedal chain, it acts as a final buffer, ensuring the signal sent to the amplifier remains consistent and unaffected by previous pedals…
The display is a unique circular loop indicator which provides a clear visual countdown of your loop length and current playback mode (Rec/Overdub/Play).
The RC-1 offers up to 12 minutes of stereo recording time, allowing you to capture complex layers or long passages with ease.
Whether you’re using it for practice or performance, the RC-1 maintains your signal integrity with high-quality stereo I/O and features a battery-saving design that retains your last recorded phrase even after the power is turned off.
Its straightforward single-knob operation makes it a powerful, simple and reliable. Please, call in for a test-play between 11 – 5:30 Wednesday to Saturday, or check out to arrange affordable postage anywhere in the UK!
