Boss RC-30 Loop Station

Possibly Eddie’s most notable piece of equipment is his Boss RC-30 Looping Pedal. Sheeran uses the RC-30 in most of his live performances and he’s probably the most recognised looper in the UK right now. Roland themselves believe that Mr. Sheeran is in fact “A master of looping on the cusp of greatness.” In addition to his concerts, Sheeran has used the Boss RC-30 in a number of videos, for the likes of SBTV, such as his “remix” of 'You Need Me, I Don’t Need You', which currently has over 5.5m hits on YouTube. The RC-30 has made an appearance in many other videos including 'Wayfaring Stranger' and 'Small Bump'. Featuring two synchronised stereo tracks, each independently controllable with volume faders and track select buttons and an auto-recording feature that starts recording the moment you begin playing/singing there’s no wonder why countless artists are climbing on board this loop train. The RC-30 comes with a great line-up of creative looping effects built-in, including pitch bend, step phaser, sweep filter and tempo delay. Plug in your microphone through the XLR connection with an option of Phantom Power for condenser mics; with the RC-30 you’re options are always open.

"After 15 years of using exactly the same pedal board, I am finally ripping it up and starting again. Same idea, but using the @roland_us RC30 looper plus some of their great #fx pedals with beautiful big fat pads that I can trigger without even looking down! It's just the beginning, but exciting (and scary!!) to learn new gear."

Really nice loop pedal !

The pedal was used during her Music Box tour.

In this photo, Bryndis' pedalboard is visible, which includes the Boss RC-30 loop station. It is not the RC-20XL model because there aren't any buttons on the left side of the pedal.

> So what I’ll do is play parts, loop them and then play over them… which has gone disastrously wrong at times. But that’s part of live music, you know? No one expects everything to be perfect, in fact I quite like the weird sounds you get when it goes weird.

At 23:20 minute mark, Vile is seen setting up the Boss RC-30 loop station.

"On the ground I have a bunch of pedals: the BCM Brian May, a whiteface Rat reissue, a Menatone Blue Collar overdrive, a Fulltone Plimsoul, a Line 6 M9, a Fulltone Clyde wah, a Boss RC-30 looper and the TC Flashback delay – but that's the one you can buy only through Pro Guitar Shop.com. They call it the Alter Ego. I also have the Strymon El Capistan tape echo."

The Boss RC-30 looper is used by Lindsey Buckingham with background vocals and a little bit of guitar for a few acoustic songs as published by Premier Guitar.

“I use a Boss phrase looper. It looks pretty much like a normal guitar pedal except it has two pedals, one for record and one to stop. I can layer as many overdubs as I want down. The only tricky bit is that if you stuff up you have to start again because you can’t take a layer away!”

"I’ve got another loop station, it’s like an RC-30, from like…"

> Her looper of choice is the Boss RC-30 Loop Station. “I’ve tried different loopers but I just don’t get the same feel,” she says. Her guitars, drum samples, and other instruments run into the RC-30, and from there to the house PA. Vocals are kept on their own. “Vocals have nothing to do with my looping. They run on separate channels on a completely separate pedalboard.”

Taken from his instagram story as of 26/03/18. Video only lasted 24hrs so had to reupload. It is seen at the top left corner of the board, to the left of the Ditto looper.
