Im interested too..dont have one as yet. Ive also heard about a less expensive one called DITTO. You can research it on youtube. Simpler and gets great reviews.

I’ve heard good things about the pedal but haven’t used one.

I have another option as the pedal alone is quite expensive. I have the Line 6 Spider Jam amp where you can record to the amp and create multiple tracks over each other. This is probably an unlikely scenario for most looking at the pedal as they already have amps. However, if looking for a new amp, this one is 75W and has backing tracks and effects preloaded.

Everything I’ve read about the looping pedal has been very good and should be a great addition.

I currently use the Digitech RP355 pedal that has a looper on it. It’s sure a lot of fun to lay out a rhythm then noodle over it. There’s another one out there that I would like to have that is strictly loop/phrase pedal called the jamman.
You can check it out here.

After having attempts to use digitech and boss loopers which are over complicated I found the perfect product, it has 5 minutes recording time and as many overdubs as you want, it has one button to press and one know to control playback volume, extremely simple to use and having tried one for a while I bought one for myself and another two for friends, What is the looper ? It’s called the “ditto”, google the name for a demo, youn will be impressed especially with the price £85.00 here in the UK.

That’s a pretty nice gadget $129 US$. You’re so right, very simple tool for practice or even performing.
Thanks for the info.

Alan…p)lease let us know what u think about the DITTO when youve had a chance to use it.

thanks for the feedback Alan…enjoy!
ps. do u mind saying where u got it and what price?

Thank you Alan. I read a few reviews on it, and everyone has said how simple it is to use. This could be a Christmas present to myself this year. Compact and really simple.
Thank you for posting this and sharing!

Thanks for the info! I have a Boss ME-70 multi effects pedal, it has a looper in it, but it’s not very user friendly. I also have the Boss eband, JS-10. I love that piece of equipment. It has a ton of backing tracks, amp models and all the boss effects already built in. The added bonus is that I can download other backing tracks, (say from active melody), put them on a usb flash drive, plug it in and play along. The ability to record your own is there as well. The speakers on it are pretty good and you can plug in headphones to practice/ play/ record and not bother the wife/ kids/ etc. The only down side is that is was pretty expensive at $400. Other than that its great, I use it all the time.

Alan,

I have the RC-3 looper, and I use it all the time. I originally had the RC-2, which is also very good, the main difference between the two are; less drum tracks on the RC-3 and more recording tracks on the RC-3 (11 on the RC-2 for approx 3 hrs and 99 on the RC-3 for approx 3 hrs). I wanted more tracks for all the various materials I am working on. I use mine to record rhythm tracks at various speeds to practice, scales, arpeggios, modes, it’s easy to lay down an track and go to work learning different aspects of playing. I don’t perform with it, (not that I perform anyway), but perhaps someday I would.

If you are considering this purchase, I would HIGHLY recommend the adapter, these loopers eat batteries and the adapter is well worth the money. Hope this helps.

I use a Boss RC-3 pedal with a mains adapter which is absolutely essential. These pedals are quite expensive in England so I bought a second hand RC-3 on ebay. You have to practice the stop/start technique a few times to get it right but once you’re in the groove it’s a great tool to work with. I chose Boss because of the known quality.

I dont have a looper yet but if i get one it would be a Ditto Looper. Not to say the Boss isnt goodas it is very popular but the review on the Ditto are excellent. Very simple operation relativeley inexpensive .

I use two RC_30s on my pedal board and they are a lot better than any looper on the market! If you consider buying a looper , look into what it does.There are many on the market and The RC – 3 RC-30 RC -300 are the way to go.And as far as I am concerened they are not that expensive.200 for the RC-3 300 for the RC -30 500 for the Rc- 300,As for recording time and storage banks it just doesnt get any better .Some of the loopers on the market only allow a real short period of time to loop.And understand the the 30 and 300 hundred are dual track loopers,the reason i use these loopers is for one sound check,the othere is because they are USB compatiable.Which means you can store all your backing tracks you make or purchase on the RCs or just sync them when you need them.1/2 step tuning is the other reason i have two.All my 1/2 step tracks and loops i make stay on that one looper .I dont have to mix them up.These loopers are awesome.I might ad you get what you pay for .Dont settle for a cheaper looper save and buy what is the looper of choice for most.There is so much you can do today with everything that is out there.One other feature these have is you can plug a Mic right into the looper and if you want to create vocal loops /RAP which i dont do but for tghe younger folks that want to it is great for that you can have a lot of fun and you dont need a amp just use the head phone jack and your set. power supplies are a must these take a special USB cable you can get that almost any where .Im probably leaving some real fun things you can do with these but get one and check it out.understand these loopers have three hours of recording time what else do you need ?plus they are stereo.or mono if you like.hope this helps.

Just recently on the market is the Nux Loop Core. A Boss RC 3 clone from China. The price I got delivered to Australia was $115.00. here’s a Youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsDM5vUWBBo

I use a boss loop pedal RC2 and it does exactly what you ask. It has some built in rhythm sounds that you can jam to also. Great pedal!

I use a Boss RC30 loop station and the one thing that impresses me is that it is very simple and easy to use despite the extent of its capabilities. Even the instruction manual covers only a few pages. Apart from recording and overdubbing tracks I find myself using it as an everyday tool for learning, for example, Brian’s lessons. I can simply record and play along to a section with the tap of a foot. Overall I like the simplicity and intuitiveness of using pedals rather than the complication of going into sub-menus in effects units which promise to do the same thing but are in practice very fiddly to use
