What’s not to like about this pedal? The pedal also doesn’t colour your sound when playing through it, as TC Electronic claims. You have to wait a moment before you can press the switch again (otherwise it will register as a double click and stop the loop again). Highly recommend!

Normally you’d keep the record feature on past the end of the loop, but if you’re changing tone or effects (which takes time) you may have to wait until the loop is finished, then start recording again. Firstly, there are a lack of features compared to some other loopers with drum machines and other effects built in. As for the controls, there is the “Loop Level” control which controls the volume of the loop audio, and there is also the switch which is responsible for controlling everything else. A nice feature is that you can erase mistakes that you make my holding down the switch, which deletes only the previous layer you recorded.

As result, the audio that is being looped doesn’t sound worse in terms of audio quality than what you may be playing over the top of the loop. Hope this was helpful. You can distinguish the different layers you have added to your loop, and fortunately it doesn’t become a distorted mess. Additionally, the pedal can loop up to five minutes of audio, which is very generous and likely more than you’ll normally need, but it gives you more possibilities, and you can recreate entire songs in a single loop.

For example, the light is red when recording, green when playing back a loop which flickers when the loop restarts, and the light flashes green when the loop is paused. So, are there any downsides to this pedal?

The switch relies on different simple commands you give it to control the pedal. But, for some people like me this is a positive as it keeps things simple, and also keeps the price and size of the pedal down.

There are, but they’re probably not enough to stop you from buying one, and they won’t apply to everyone. For example, a single click to start or stop recording, or double click to stop playback of your loop. Lastly, if you want to add a new layer at the start of the loop when the loop is in standby, you cannot start recording straight away as soon as the loop is restarted. Also, the fact you have to double click the switch to stop the loop may be too slow or awkward for some that are using in a live environment.

I have found that the more layers you add to a loop also doesn’t seem to affect the audio quality. The Ditto Looper records your playing and loops it back at a 24-bit audio quality which is uncompressed. You can always add your own separate effects anyways if you have them in your effects loop. Overall, a looper is one of the most fun pedals you could get and you can’t go wrong with this one.
