I have a looper pedal question. I have a boss looper with drum tracks. This time I have to record the whole song ahead of time because there’s a bridge and I can’t really just repeat like four chords over and over again. I’d like to add the drums to it and get it all nice way ahead of time. Does anyone with more experience with this pedal than me know if you can get it to save it for you? My problem is that I record something while it’s plugged in get it how I want and then when I unplug it and move it to a different room or something then I lose it
I want to Freddie King’s “Christmas Tears” with a dose of Clapton. That’s what I’ve landed on. Blues in C and lets me try some of my licks from the blues immersion course
Maybe a better placed question in the Recording or OM Tech Guide sections.

I have a Jam Man, but I have to believe the options are the same. I have a foot pedal that has an up and a down switch so you would record the track for the main part and separately for the bridge and click the foot switch up to move to the bridge part and down back to the main part. Does this do what you want?

On the Boss RC-5, you can set up an external dual footswitch to switch UP or DOWN to the next memory location. So, for example, you record your loop and select the drum track for the verse in memory #1, the chorus goes in memory #2, and the bridge goes in memory #3. Then, you use the footswitch to select the next segment you want. The looper won’t change to the next selected memory location until it reaches the end of the loop currently being played.
You can actually experiment with this using the selector knob on the RC-5 instead of the dual footswitch to see if it will do what you want it too.
Check the Boss RC-5 instruction manual (available from the BOSS website) for more details.

I think I found a way to do what I want with one track, but I definitely need to look into a foot pedal for my looper
