How To Connect a Boss XL Loop Station

A Boss Loop Station records and plays back music performed by a guitar or bass player. The station allows the user to play one part of a song and then play that recorded part back while the user plays a second part. The user can then hear the two parts played together without requiring a second musician. The number of the Loop Station's electrical jacks can be intimidating, but connecting the station to various components is actually fairly simple.

Things You'll Need

  • Guitar cables (2)
  • Boss foot pedal (optional)
  • AC adapter (optional)
  • Digital audio player (optional)
