The RC 600 comes with far superior effects. So much so that if effects are what you’re after in a looper, we’d say this makes an upgrade to the 600 worth it alone. The RC-505 MKII continues the legacy of this excellent loop station, and brings a whole host of new features to the table to surpass the original in every way. a) You may only use the SOFTWARE on a specific single computer at one time.

To remain in control of such a powerful amount of audio-routing, Boss has also given the RC-505MKII a dedicated Input Mixer. The input mixer lets you set all your levels before you start your recording or performance. You have also got a mute function on every input, meaning you can select which inputs are recorded.Buy a Boss RC 600 looper and you’ll have the exact same number of effects & effect slots than you get with the RC 505 MK2. The storage capacity you get with the RC 505 MK2 & the RC 600 looper is identical too! Both have 99 memories + can store single loops of up to 1.5 hours in length.

All of which should give you a more level and even mix.

As well as a substantial upgrade to the sound quality, Boss has also armed the RC-505MKII with more audio inputs, audio outputs and more External footswitch/Expression options.

Both these loopers incorporate real-time time-stretch, that actually works pretty well. We found that for speeding up the recording, this tends to work better than for slowing it down.
