For each rhythm, A/B variations can be selected from the panel or controlled via MIDI while performing. Overdub - This is the name for any layers that you would like to stack on top of the original recording. During overdubbing and playback, the speed at which the indicator rotates directly corresponds to the length of the loop.

If you’re just practicing at home with one, then one track would probably be sufficient to allow you to build your soloing skills or map out compositions. You might do this if you don’t want delay or reverb tails cutting off unexpectedly as you loop around.

BOSS RC-1 Compact Loop Station Looper Pedal

So to understand what kind of looper works best for you, you need to take a look at what you need from your playing. At its heart is the innovative LED display, which gives a visual indicator of where you are in your loop, as well as which of the three modes you are in - record, overdub, or playback. Like the US government the Red Panda Tensor is always listening, so you can instantly rewind what you just played even if you’re not actively looping.Inspired by the Digitech XP-300 Space Station, the Red Panda Tensor takes the basics of a looper and expands massively upon what you thought was possible. An update of sorts to Boss’s venerable RC-30, and a worthy contender to our top pick for the best looper pedals, the feature-packed Boss RC-10R offers the ability to loop and generate rhythms via a built-in drum machine. This is a significant improvement over past pedals and should include a decent number of useful effects. Having only one would probably be quite limiting depending on the genre of music you play, and many loopers feature the addition of drum tracks and basslines to help you expand upon your sound.
