Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

RC-5 is a compact stereo looper for developing parts, practicing with rhythms, and bringing prepared loops to a performance. It records up to 13 hours of stereo audio and stores 99 phrase memories, each able to retain its selected rhythm and kit. The single pedal handles recording, overdubbing, playback, stopping, and undo/redo, while the color-changing display indicates the current loop state. USB backup and WAV import also let it handle lesson material, jam tracks, or backing music.
