Playing Back In Various Ways; Playing A Phrase Only Once (One-Shot Playback) - Boss RC-20XL Owner's Manual

Playing back in various ways

Playing a phrase only once
Phrases saved to Phrase Tracks 1–11 are initially set to loop playback (with the LOOP
PHRASE indicator lit), but you can switch the phrase settings to one-shot
playback by holding down the SHIFT (EXIT) button and pressing the LOOP/ONE
SHOT (AUTO START) button.
This feature is handy when, for example, you want to have one-shot playback of saved
phrases used for playing live twin guitar solos or effects sounds.
* When you want to have One-Shot Playback remain in effect constantly, switch to One-Shot
Playback, then save the phrase ("Saving a phrase" (p. 29)).
Loop Playback
The phrase is played repeatedly from beginning to end until the right pedal is pressed.
One-Shot playback
The phrase plays one time from beginning to end and then stops automatically.
* Overdubbing is disabled when one-shot playback is in effect. When the left pedal is pressed
during playback of the phrase, the phrase starts playing from the beginning again (retrigger
playback).
If you want to overdub, first switch to loop playback.
