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.

connections.
* Before connecting or disconnecting any connection
cables, be sure all the volume controls in your system

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.
