Product Information

Full details

The Tascam RC-3F is a versatile 3-pedal footswitch designed for musicians and producers using compatible Tascam recorders and players, such as the DP-03, GB-10, and LR-10. Its primary benefit is enabling hands-free control of transport functions and other assignable operations, freeing up your hands for playing an instrument. A potential caveat is that the specific functions assigned to each pedal depend on the connected Tascam device and may require consulting its manual.

How do I assign functions to the pedals?

The functions assigned to each of the three pedals are determined by the connected Tascam device. You will need to consult the user manual of your specific Tascam recorder or player to understand the default assignments and any options for customization.

What type of batteries does the RC-3F use and how long do they last?

The RC-3F uses two AA batteries. It supports manganese, alkaline, or NiMH rechargeable types. Battery life varies depending on usage and battery type, but the unit includes a battery charge indicator.

Can I use the RC-3F with non-Tascam equipment?

The RC-3F is designed specifically for Tascam devices that have a remote jack supporting its UART signal output. It is not guaranteed to work with equipment from other brands.

What are the dimensions and weight of the RC-3F?

The dimensions are 190 mm (Width) x 32 mm (Height) x 122 mm (Depth), and it weighs approximately 0.55 kg (550 g).

What is the cable length?

The RC-3F comes with a 3.9-meter (approximately 12.8 feet) cable.

How is the footswitch powered?

The footswitch is powered by two AA batteries. It can also be powered via USB when connected to compatible Tascam devices if they provide USB power to the remote jack, though battery operation is standard.

Troubleshooting

Footswitch not responding

Verify that the 2.5mm plug is securely inserted into the "Remote" jack. Check if the connected Tascam device recognizes the footswitch. Ensure fresh AA batteries are correctly installed and that the battery indicator is not showing low power.

Incorrect function triggered by pedal

Consult the user manual for your specific Tascam device (e.g., DP-03, GB-10) to confirm which functions are assigned to each pedal on the RC-3F. Some functions may need to be configured within the Tascam device's settings.

Device not powering on

Ensure the AA batteries are inserted with the correct polarity. Try using a different set of AA batteries, preferably alkaline or NiMH rechargeables, as manganese batteries may have a shorter lifespan.

Intermittent connection or response

Inspect the 2.5mm plug and cable for any visible damage. Ensure the remote jack on your Tascam device is clean and free of debris. Try using a different set of batteries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Tascam RC-3F, connect the 2.5mm TRS plug to the designated "Remote" jack on your compatible Tascam device. Ensure the device is powered on. The footswitch operates on two AA batteries, which should be inserted into the battery compartment on the bottom.

Compatibility: The RC-3F is primarily designed for Tascam products. Confirmed compatible models include the DP-03, GB-10, and LR-10. For other Tascam devices, consult the product's user manual or Tascam's official website to verify compatibility and specific function assignments.

Care: Keep the footswitch clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the cable and plug are kept free from damage. Store in a dry environment when not in use. Check the battery charge indicator on the bottom of the unit to ensure optimal performance.
