Let's get loopy!
Looper pedals became popular with performers at the end of the 1990’s with artists such as KT Tunstall and Damien Rice using them to augment their solo acoustic performances. These days artists such as Ed Sheeran and many semi and professional solo/duo acts use a looper to create a sound that can start to rival a full band.
Looper pedals are also excellent for practicing, songwriting, rehearsing, jamming, sound-checks and more…
These are the best that I have tested and reviewed so far. I have not included gear that I have not yet tested. If you have a product that you would like reviewed for possible inclusion in this list then please get in touch.
1. TC Electronic Ditto X2 Looper pedal
This looper is rock solid, easy to use and is perfect for musicians that are looking to start using a looper to augment their performances. Simply set your playback volume with the big knob (typically around noon). Use the ‘Loop’ switch to Rec/Play and use the ‘FX’ switch to stop (hold it to clear the loop). The option of battery power and fairly compact size also make this an ideal choice for busking musicians.
Pros:
Affordable. Easy to use. Can be battery powered.
Cons:
No XLR input. May not have the advanced features that some loop artists are looking for.
