True bypass looper pedals
« on: May 28, 2009, 01:31:52 PM »
Anyone know where to get good quality ones at reasonable prices? I found Red Onion http://www.redonionsolutions.co.uk/Loop.htm which I think are well priced but just wondering if anyone knows a better supplier.

Cheers, Kaz

There was a looper thread not too long ago. I know a few GREAT ones, but they are not cheap.

I'm also in the market for a looper for my pedal board.

The ones that I have tried and liked are:

Boss RC-20XL
Digitech Jam Man
Akai Headrush

I think Line 6 have a loop modeller pedal called the JM4 which is said to be really great but costs quite a lot of money I believe.

Different kind of looper! I had a RC20XL for a short while. One thing to note with that pedal is that the drums aren't as good as on RC2, the compact one. Something to consider if you're gonna use it to practice by yourself. If you're using it for simply layering riffs in a band setting it's not a problem though.

I keep hearing loop master a lot. Heard the leading time is like 10 weeks though. Not sure if I want to wait that long. I want something like this http://www.loop-master.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=57

This is my plan.

Guitar
|
Korg Pitchblack
|
Loop1 - Dime CBH Wah - Boss CS2 -Keeley TMB
|
Loop2 - (some kind of modulation) - Boss DD7+tap tempo
|
Amp

Slightly worried about the total bypass signal as it'll not be going through any buffers. hmmmmmm

The RedOnions Dual loop pedals are ideal for your needs. I used two of them for a fair while on my pedalboard.
If you are after true-bypass loop pedals, they are so simple really, there's no need to pay lots of money for a fancy make.

If you're only going to use 2 loops, and you want the ultimate in quality, look into Lehle.
