![]() It is a nice tool and quiet simple to use, and I totally recommend it. It is a very helpful tool, this has also in a way helped me to improve my guitar playing ability. I have been using this pedal since 7-8 months, and it has been very helpful in coming up with song ideas, I often loop guitars, and play bass and drums, and figure out some new ideas for the song. Gives you a maximum of 5 mins loop time, true bypass, 24 bit-96Khz sound quality, and a knob to control the voulme of the recorded loops, this I think is essentially what everyone wants from a looper.Īnd I really like the foot switch of looper, it is quiet soft, allows you to operate it with a subtle press, otherwise in other pedal the footSwitch is a bit more hard to press you need to time things with more concentration. It is quiet simple to operate, the instruction manual is barely a page long. And Ditto-Looper pretty much fits the bill. I play in a post rock band, and I slowly build overlays of various sounds and in the end achieving a massive wall of psychedelia, and looping is quiet essential in this process,therefore I wanted something simple, and due to lack of space on my pedal board I wanted something small. ![]() Even though the manual says that it should work on line-level impedance, it doesn't.Īnd if you loop too many sounds over it, it sound like a mud, also tends to go out of sync. In simple words if you are running this pedal in FX loop of your amp, and you hapen to have an amp which has FX loop on line level, this pedal will give you a volume drop. ![]() I had to open it up and fix it twice already, will not use it in a gig, or even in rehearsals with band.Īnother big problem is it cannot handle Line-Level FX loop on amps. The switch on this looper is very bad quality, there is a spring inside and after decent amount of use the mechanical switch will give out, and the switch will not function properly. Several times that I step on it to record a second layer, and it just stops, or I step twice quickly to stop and it just deletes the whole loop. So, this is one happy camper right here :)ĮDIT: After a few months, the footswitch is on the edge of breaking, it seems. To sum it up, basically, it's simple to use, it has good sound quality, enough time on tap to play a bunch with it before it overloads, and it doesn't break the bank. But I think that even if it doesn't, it's cheap enough to buy another one, or upgrade it if looping ends up being your thing. Of course, given the price tag, there is the thought in the back of my mind wether or not this pedal will last very long, especially after reading about some long term issues with it. I've yet to try it at a gig, but at the moment there are no worries wether or not it will deliver, performance-wise. I've been using it to experiment with textures and layers, and it's been stellar so far. TC Electronic has made an affordable, functional, little looper with the Ditto, and there's not much to complain about it.
