## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Stunning quality but overhyped for practicality - Very impressive build and sound quality. Nice compact size. I have home DIY fitted couple of switches to replace the external footswitches for more control onboard. However, Drums are just start and stop. Please don't expect any fills, transition, intro or outro. Keeps you on time though. Single loop only. Need to install software in your mac/pc to upload backing tracks, its NOT drag n drop. Also, the file has to be converted to Wav format. Extra hassle, but it is a very handy pedal (recommended) for those who likes to play along backing tracks. The main thing i dislike is that; when you are clearing a recorded loop, after stop; you press and hold the pedal, at this moment the track plays for about 1-2sec before its cleared. So your crowd may not appreciate that. Overall its a good pedal, it does OK for my need but i guess the hype is more than what it really does, unless you spend a good fortune on midi controllers. Don't always go for brand. Get what satisfies your need.
Review: Great Stereo Looper pedal. - I will start by saying I use this for backing tracks not looping. I had to do a bit of research into what would work for me and this is close to perfect. 99 tracks and plenty of storage. Simple to load the tracks (using either the app or just drag and drop.). It has one big let down and that is you can only load and delete tracks using the app, you cannot change any settings/name the patches etc. Meaning you can spend a long time clicking through options on the pedal itself which is really fiddley. Also you will benefit massively by buying a boss footswitch (don't make the mistake of thinking a normal footswitch will work it needs to be powered). This will allow you to change the patches up/down or other settings without touching the pedal.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you plug a microphone/keyboard into this? Thanks!**
A: Only if the connection is a 1/4 inch jack. A guitar cable. Keyboards are usually good, but microphones need an XLR to 1/4 jack

**Q: Can you operate the inputs/outputs A and B separately and treat them as two mono signals?**
A: Yes. Each have their own volume and can either be combined in output A or stay separate

**Q: Could you record a whole backing track similar to les Paul or are you limited to short loops**
A: you have 3 hours of recording spacer to use how you wish, a whole backing track or loops as short as a second, completely up to you. you can also plug in an AUX such as MP3 or laptop  to play along with if you so wish. I never have but seen others do it at trade shows in the past

**Q: Can you record drums on track one and bass on track two and play them at the same time?  Creating your own backing band.**
A: No - You can only play back one channel at a time.  But you can first lay down the bass track on a channel; then overlay the drums on the same channel; then overlay rhythm guitar; then again with lead guitar; then say improvise with lead guitar (different effect) and sing over the top giving a similar effect.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good, but not to the high standard that others reviews say
*by J***E on 2 July 2023*

A lot of fun, and makes doing one-take recordings of your favourite songs a blast. The complaints I have don't completely ruin it, but are certainly things I wish the other reviewers had mentioned. The controls are pretty odd to use - it doesn't come with an instruction manual, so you are constantly going online to find basic commands e.g. undo previous take, save a memory etc. I spent a long time on a memory until I was happy - then I accidently scrolled to the next memory, and so corrected back to the original, to find it completely gone. I have no idea what I pressed that could undo everything instantly! You have to buy a separate charger - which is absurd. No other charger works with it, meaning that the price you pay for it is wrong as you have to pay another £30 or so for the "special" charger. Don't bother with the battery it includes - it lasts roughly 4hrs before running out of juice. The rhythm tracks are severely lacking. 4/4 beats are OK but many have odd drum fills, toms, cymbals etc. that ruin the track. Good luck with 3/4 - apart from the metronome, none of the tracks actually do 1,2,3,1,2,3 - instead doing jarring and badly cut 4/4 beats. Uploading tracks to play along to is impossible. The default volume of an uploaded track is so absurdly high that even after lowering the track down to minimum volume and gain on Audacity, to the point where I cannot hear it through headphones/speakers, is still painfully loud coming through the amp - so imagine how loud it was without this editing! But the main function of being a loop pedal is achieved, and is easy to set up and use (once you have figured out the controls!). Well worth it if on heavy discount, but not at full price.
