TC Electronic DITTO LOOPER Highly Intuitive Looper Pedal with 5 Minutes of Looping Time, Analog-Dry-Through and True Bypass Multicolored

Excellent looper for the price! Easy to use. Great tool for lead practice, or live rhythm backing. No complaints here!

Nice simple looper. Works well, got ride of my more expensive looper for this little simple to use model

Absolutely flawless pedal, by far the best looper I personally have ever used (haven't been able to use the $300+ loopers yet so my opinion is limited in that regard). I particularly like the halfspeed function, it yields a lot of interesting possibilities with your overdubs. Watch any one of the youtube demos of this pedal and you'll see what I mean.As far as quantization goes, a lot of people (in other places on the internet) have complained about there being no quantize features. After having used this pedal for several months, I understand why that feature could be so helpful--if you're even slightly off on your timing, the loop will fall out of phase after X amount of cycles (depending on how far off you were initially). You could either work this into the performance and stop/restart after certain lapses of time, or you could work on making your timing better, which is what you should ideally be doing as a musician anyway.In that regard, I don't think the lack of quantization is even remotely a downside for this pedal considering all of its features for how inexpensive it is. I'm by no means a virtuoso and I'm probably not as good as many would-be guitarists you'd find on the street, but even I was able to eventually get my timing right to use this looper in conjunction with a drum machine WITHOUT phasing issues. It just took some practice.And that's where this pedal really shines: it makes practicing guitar extremely fun and newly inspiring, especially if you've been playing the same sh*t for too long and have run out of ideas. Having an option for a dedicated stop switch takes away the nuisance of double tapping the main switch every time to stop a loop, and the footswitches themselves are the softer-engage style (have no idea what the proper term is) that is easier to tap than the average footswitches that are rough on bare feet. You'll also enjoy layering with the various effects (reverse and half speed--watch the youtube demos), and with everything considered you'll probably be pleased with the results, not to mention the high audio quality of the loop itself (which shouldn't be understated).For $170 (I got mine ten dollars less when the price fell for a few weeks), you cannot buy a better looper than this. You just can't.

I like the simplicity of this pedal. Took me all of 5 minutes to learn how to use it, and 4 of those were spent looking for the tiny slip of paper the instructions were written on. It's small design fit very easily onto my already packed pedal board. And it sounds great. Well.. it WILLl when my chops improve LOL (garbage in, garbage out)I've been a rhythm guitarist for around 20 years and I feel I need expand my abilities. So, I mainly bought this pedal as a tool to teach myself to play better leads. I record a repeating chord progression and then try to play a lead over the top of it. For this, this pedal rocks. It's quick. It's easy. And it works perfect for what I bought it for. I could see, however, how the one button design would not be ideal for more performance based use. But, I don't think it's something that practice and a volume pedal couldn't help. Just think about your needs before you buy.The one thing that keeps it from being a 5 star for me, is it's tendency to "clip" when dubbiing multiple loops. Get too agro with it and the signal starts cutting out a bit. Again, I think that practice and proper volume control can help you eliminate this issue. (note: I use an acoustic with an active pickup which could be part of the problem as it has had a tendency to overdrive a few of my other pedals.)All in all, it's a fun little tool that gets the job done, quick and dirty. But, as with most things, if's not ideal for every one. As stated before, think about your needs before you buy.

Great pedal . Perfect for bluegrass and Cajun practice when alone.

Gave to husband for our 7th wedding anniversary. Does seem to make his music sound better. He said it was very simple to use.

Beware, this is an older model nowadays and you don't know really what you're getting in the box. I received the unit, played it a few times early on with no problems. Tried using it for a few ideas after it just sitting with the batteries installed. Only had it long enough for the return period to expire. The problem is major. When pressing the loop switch, a loud pop occurs and is recorded as part of the loop. So every loop has this loud pop and a second of no sound. When stopping the loop, there is a loud pop as well. Went to see if there was a fix by downloading firmware update and there were no updates for the X2 on the TC Electronics website. Had to read a ton of comments on the pedal and it's reliability, found a popping issue that dealt with possible capacitor charge buildup, nothing I can fix. Submitted a ticket to their Music Tribe customer service, will update review if they follow through.Update - I did receive a response with some solutions such as check PSU and hard reset; had done all that already. They said to contact third part seller, Alto Music, for warranty. Only an address on Amazon page for Alto so I started a chat with Amazon to see if there was a faster email address. Long story short, Amazon was able to allow me to return the defective unit! Amazon is reliable, TC products made in China are not.
