    Very good review... this gentleman knows what he is talking about and plays some nice guitar to boot! I recently purchased one of these and have used it for a while... but I learnt a few extra tricks watching the review ^ Just to add that this is a 24bit device, and that holds the quality of the audio up very nicely uncompressed. I paid about £30... ridicules amount of money for such a well made and useful piece of kit. If you don’t have one… get one, no excuse at this price!

    Nice video mate, reading at the comments I can see you manage to sold quite a few of these pedals. You should get companies to endorse you or at least give you free product to review. You have done a terrific job and SHOULD not have to buy equipment. That is of course my opinion mate. Well done again and thank you, I found this very useful.

    Hello, very nice review, just want to add something important to complement your review, I just bought this exact looper and a separate power supply adaptor cable that can get power from a USB port and gives the 9v for the looper but just before connecting I realised the polarity was swamped (most devices use the positive in the centre, but guitar pedals are the other way around) and thankfully I didn't connect (it could have damaged the looper) but I wanted to try it on day 1 and tried to connect the USB cable that comes with it to a standard USB phone charger, and it works :) it's not written anywhere but you can power it over the micro-USB port using a standard USB to Micro-USB cable that comes with it. I've just seen other guys showing this pedal and say the USB power won't work because the pedal will keep saying U (for USB connection) but in my case it works, maybe on newer versions it does work with power from USB :) This is a present for my 12yo kid that is learning guitar and tomorrow he will be introduced to the world of loopers ;)

    Hi and thanks. The diagram was very helpful as I ran into the challenge of not being able to separate the effects pedal but your diagram made it crystal clear. I have a couple of questions for you. #1. Is there any way of using the pedal to record another instrument such as a Keyboard? I know I could add a track into the memory but with only 9 banks..... I would like to use this on stage if possible with on the spot loops for as many songs as I want to play. #2 - I have a Digi-Tech Vocalizer. Can I put this in the chain and create vocal loops? Thanks much

    • @guitar-academy
      @guitar-academy  Před 2 lety

      it only has one instrument input so you'd have unplug and re-plug different instruments/mics, unless you plug it into the output on a mixer or such like. You can record endless loops on each patch, as it keeps adding the new parts to the same loop but you can't then remove the part. It sounds to me like you need a more expensive more featured looper, but this one will work with compromises. 🤔

    Superb presentation review using the words and expressional tones of an unbiased professor of the music industry. I have been trying to decide if this pedal is really up to the low cost . . . . . result = SOLD & HAPPY ! :-D
    You will find that the USB lead can also be used with a 'dedicated' footswitch (available seperately) to switch between the nine wav loop files. The pedal only draws 100mA max and is compatibale with most 'centre tip negative' 9volt PSU's. The size of the pedal is within a few millimetres of most other 'Micro' pedals and can swapped out with ease anywhere in the pedal box chain sequence.
    Oh and although you can record up to nine seperate loops, remember that any single loop is max duration 10mins, and any/all loops cannot be more than 40mins in total, so it is perfect for normal looping use.
    Have fun.

    I'm trying to put 3 instruments over, but if i mess up i have 3 different instruments at different tempos, is there a way to get rid of the second and third? I can get rid of the second one but whenever i hold the button to remove that one it just records the third one again?

    Blessings for the video! The best I've seen on this Pedal.
    Two debts: 1) To turn on and off, just put it in the source? 2) Is there any specification for the wav file to be inserted into the pedal by the computer? I tried and I couldn't.... is there a way to make available the ones you used? Thanks! Falo de Natal/RN - Brasil.

      I've given this pedal away since making this video so I can't answer the question with the pedal in front of me. But I remember with the WAV file I had to record a loop on the pedal and then examine it on my computer to see the format, I then used that format. (on windows you just right click on the WAV file and you can see the format) 😊😃

    my effects are built in to my amp, is there a way to prevent them from effecting your looper sound or do you need effects pedals
    oh btw i watched the full review, your voiceover was delivered clearly and the layout in your edit was clean.
    I'm a producer and i have no job and want to get into busking so i was looking into loopers and stuff for helping me out there, unfortunately i bought this and it is not battery powered so I'd have to buy a big f-off generator for about 200 pounds for it to all work out and about but either way thank you for this video, you taught me a lot.

    • @guitar-academy
      @guitar-academy  Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you very much . . . The only way you can bypass the effects on your amp would be if you have an 'effects loop, in and out' or effects bypass input on the back of the amp. You can get this to work on a battery with a little basic electronics. Just get power lead or plug and solder it to a 9v battery clip, just remember it's negative inside. 🤔
