User Feedback
As expected, the RC-5 gets a lot of thumbs up for the big jump in features compared to similarly sized peals. Interestingly, even with its increased complexity, users still describe it as easy to use. Other factors that help it gain positive reviews include good and informative display, build quality and reliability.
While this pedal has a lot of features, maximizing the use of those features can be a bit hard with its single footswitch. This is why for complex layering, it is recommended to get a compatible footswitch or maybe invest a bit more for a multi-switch looper.
