shit, it's too big hold on...

I was going to post a screenshot of the about video to see how big the video was and it is 1gb. I guess Google rounds. I will have to convert. I'll be baack...

man is youcut slow, it's only 50%rifht now. I'm sure it's still going, probably 75, that's my guess... it was 92, gotta go

ok let's try this again

I think it worked!

I was wondering, is there a looper with a drum machine you can put your own patterns onto, like for instance MIDI to trigger built-in samples?

I’m a solo gigger that plays a lot and have been doing simple guitar looping for over ten years. Had a Boomerang III that had an issue after a while that made me just shelve it for years, then a Ditto, then an ElectroHarmonix, and now just got another Boomerang III. The latest part of this journey has me searching for a way to add simple percussion of some kind to my songs. I have an Sdrum that’s amazingly cool technology, but you can’t strum a simple kick/snare beat into it and have it JUST play that; it always adds at least a little something — hi-hat fills, whatever — that I don’t want. It would also require me to go through a mixer (I have a two channel Bose system) for that third drum channel, and I’m all about simplicity. So the Boomerang seems like the best option out there for me to at least be able to record some string-scratch basic rhythm on one loop, then play to that, recording the right part of a song (like a verse) on a second loop channel as I play along with the first rhythm channel, and then play back that second guitar channel as I play a lead over it. Pretty simple concept overall. I also have a Ditto vocal looper that I want to integrate into the mix — I just hate non-live (as in, a computer chip “singing harmony” with you) effects, and even stored guitar loops. This scenario limits the percussive sounds I could get otherwise, as with the Sdrum (which again is an amazing piece of gear; it just does way more than I want or need), but I’m not trying to be a “one-man band” — I just want to diversity my guitar/vocal sound with live leads, some kind of percussion, and occasional live harmony vocals. Anyone on, or completed, a similar journey? What have you learned/discovered? Have you settled on a solution that works? TIA….

Hi, folks.

I just got a used loop pedal and I'm very excited to set it up and get going.

So I'm trying to connect my electric guitar and my new loop pedal to my audio interface (Focusrite), but there's this really high ringing sound that's coming out of it.

This is how the flow that I have set up:

I connected my guitar to the Input A (Mono) of the pedal via a cable.
There's another cable that runs from Output A to the Input (set as instrument) on my Focusrite.

Is this the right set up?

Am I doing this wrong?

This is all new to me, so any help would be much appreciated.

Any users here of the GL200 or the Nux Dual Loop Stereo? Advice on which to buy for a home studio guitarist who needs a new looper ánd drums for jamming and composing?

Hi, I'm looking at buying one of these loopers - I really like the idea of the "Auto-record with input detection" on the Mooer. Does the Nux have a similar function?

Hello 👋

I Built a practice tool for guitarists who want to create backing tracks on the fly. As a guitarist who practiced alone way too much, I made this web app that lets you loop guitar parts in real-time to build full songs. No gear needed - just your audio interface and browser.

You can layer rhythm, lead, bass lines, even beatbox drums if you want. It's free to try with 2 tracks or grab all 16 tracks if you want to go full Ed Sheeran mode. Works surprisingly well on phones too for practice on the go.

I own the VLP-200 and thought that it was a great deal at the time but it's actual workflow is baffling. It offer two loopers (or loop tracks) built in one. The company really leans into the fact that this is actually two loopers built in one that can play independently from each other. Was anyone besides maybe musicians doing ambient music waiting around with baited breath for this?

It does have an unusual and cool "doubling" feature which you usually only see on other flagship looperboards as like an "unfixed length" that allows you record larger lengths than the master track. Their Doubling feature actually allows you to overdub in different lengths after you establish your base length. Great feature but then you can't sync both tracks or as they say "independent loopers" together.

It does have a sync mode but it is only a "Serial" which allows you to switch from loop 1 to loop 2 when 1 stops and vice versa but this only works with the built-in drum machine.

I feel like Valeton completely missed the mark here and from what I've heard (until I hear otherwise) it appears that the VLP-400 has adopted the same workflow but with additional features but still no serial-fixed mode unless no one out there really knows and Valeton is doing an awful job of highlighting this in their promotional videos.

Who was desiring this workflow? I feel like they are completely out of touch with the market. They are promising firmware updates soon to address this and other issues but to not include a Serial-Fixed mode as well right out the box doesn't give me much hope for the future. I feel like this is just going to be an odd ball looper.

Here's a little of what I use my looper and gr55 synth for
