Welcome to the Loop Station!

The RC-3 is a pedal-type recorder that lets you record audio phrases

from your guitar or bass, and play them back by operating the

pedal. You can create a wide variety of performances by layering

sound while you record and carry out play back in real time.

• It’s easy to create loop phrases.

• Up to 99 di erent loop phrases can be saved in phrase memory,

for a total of approximately 3 hours (* total for all phrases).

• You can input audio in stereo.

• Sound from a digital audio player connected to the AUX IN jack

can easily be recorded.

• Recorded phrases can be copied via USB to your computer, or

WAV  les from your computer can be loaded into the RC-3 and

played back as loops (p. 14).

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled:

“USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (supplied

on a separate sheet). These sections provide important

information concerning the proper operation of the unit.

Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a

good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, this

manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be

saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

* A battery was installed in the unit before it left the factory.

The life of this battery may be limited, however, since its

primary purpose was to enable testing.

USB connector

You can use a commercially available

USB cable to connect the RC-3 to your

computer, and use the computer to read/

write RC-3 phrases (WAV  les) (p. 14).

DC IN jack

Accepts connection of an AC Adaptor (PSA series; optional). By using an AC Adaptor, you

can play without being concerned about how much battery power you have left.

connect your audio player here.

By using the Auto recording function

(p. 11), you can start recording the

moment your audio player begins

playback.

OUTPUT A/B jacks

Connect these jacks to your

amp or monitor speakers.

If your system is monaural,

use only the OUTPUT A jack.

NOTE

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers

or other devices, always turn down the volume, and

turn o the power on all devices before making any

connections.

* Before connecting or disconnecting any connection

cables, be sure all the volume controls in your system

are set to minimum.

* Use connection cables that do not contain a built-in

resistor. If you use cables that contain a resistor,

there might be insuﬃ cient volume from the device

connected to the AUX IN jacks, or it might be inaudible.

* Do not connect headphones to the OUTPUT jack.

Doing so may damage the headphones.

Turning On the Power

Inserting a connecting plug into the OUTPUT A jack turns on the

power to the unit.

Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to

your various devices in the order speci ed. By turning on devices

in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to

speakers and other devices.

When powering up

Turn on the power to your guitar amp last.

When powering down

Turn oﬀ the power to your guitar amp  rst.

* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval

(a few seconds) after power up is required before the unit will

operate normally.
