Boss RC-505 Mk2 Loop Station Tabletop Looper

505MK2

The RC‑505MK2 is a tabletop loop station designed for live performance, songwriting, beatboxing, and multi-instrumentalists. Unlike foot-pedal loopers, it sits on a table and is operated by hand, making it ideal for vocalists, beatboxers, keyboardists, and anyone who wants hands-on control in real time.
