| WHAT: | BOSS, the leader in guitar effects and recording, is pleased to host the BOSS Loop Station National Championship at Musicians Institute in the heart of Hollywood, California. |
| WHY: | Six talented musicians from around the country will perform their original compositions with the support of a wide range of instruments and the legendary BOSS RC series Loop Station pedals. The RC-2, RC-20XL, and RC-50 Loop Station pedals record, layer, loop, and store audio from their instruments on-the-fly, allowing musicians a whole new level of improvisation and creativity.
The grand prize winner will receive $3,000 in BOSS and Roland gear, and a trip to the Loop Station World Championship at the Downtown Disney House of Blues in Anaheim, CA, during the 2011 Winter NAMM Show.
