Flexible creative control
Three onboard footswitches make it simple to control recording and playback, track switching and more. For expanded operation, you can connect up to two external footswitches for direct control of many assignable functions or an expression pedal for continuous adjustments. For more advanced rigs, the space-saving TRS MIDI I/O enables remote operation from MIDI switchers and foot controllers, plus MIDI clock sync with drum machines and DAWs.

Personalize your setup
RC-500's I/O and footswitches are configured for basic operations by default, but they can be reassigned in a variety of ways to meet your custom needs. Route left/right input sources to separate tracks or send guitar and vocals to independent outputs. Use the footswitches to turn effects on/off, start/stop rhythms and more. Custom assignments are saved along with phrase memories, letting you instantly reconfigure RC-500 for any application.
