Loop Pedals and Samplers

Looper pedals come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny and influential TC Electronic Ditto, to the powerful Boss RC-300 Loop Station. If you’re a solo musician, a pedal that can run several parallel or sequential loops and save samples is probably on the checklist. You may also want a device that can implement MIDI to sync with another sampler, or manage multiple inputs for when you switch to synth or bass.

Bedroom jammers are often happy with simple loopers. Guitarists playing in a band will appreciate features like tap tempo and one shot looping via secondary or external footswitches. For more information, read our guide on "The Best Looper Pedals on Reverb."

Certainly! Just be aware that the placement of your looper pedal in your signal chain will affect gain and effects before the looper’s input will be part of the sample; gain and effects that follow the looper pedal will only be applied to the recorded loops if they’re on when the loop is captured.
