This again has that smart 'Auto Record' feature which is also found on the Mini. I use my Ditto+ a lot for when testing out new pedals - and I feel the Auto Record could make the smaller Mooer here a new favourite of mine for that particularly purpose! For me this is worthy getting pretty much just for that Auto Record function - as unless you're Pete Honoré or another of those looping giants - you will often get the timing a split second wrong on the startup - so much easier if the pedal simply senses and knows when to start recording! When Micro Looper is in the Bypass status, it would not affect the original signal,which ensures your signal to be clear and lossless.

This pedal only uses high grade components so that the signal going in and coming out of the pedal sound as close as possible. This means that no matter how much you layer up your sound will still be your sound so you can take this pedal live without worry. Worry about losing your recordings after you cut off power? No need to worry, MICRO LOOPER will save all the loop recordings data automatically when the power is off. You will never lose your inspiration! Mooer also produce Mini guitar amps like the Little Monster 5w Tube Amp which is a tiny lunchbox head that’ll turn into a roaring beast when plugged into a 2x12 or even 4x12 cab! Seemingly to cater to those wanting both a looper and a drum generator, Mooer has also released the Micro Drummer II. Offering 48 grooves across eight different rhythm types and six music genres, the playing companion also offers Fill and Tap Tempo functions for greater rhythmic experimentation, as well as two EQ presets for different situations.The Boss RC-1 Loop Station is the simplest of the range. It is designed to be the most user-friendly for those of us who don’t want to read instruction manuals. It is easy to make a mistake when using a looper live; with an overly complicated pedal it is easy to forget whether you have disengaged the integral buffering linear wingwam before engaging the secondary memory bank of immortal doom…. Sometimes one button really is the best. Controls - Parts : 1-7, EQ Focus : Lows > Mids > Highs, Speed : 40 > 120 > 260, Level, Genre : 1-11, Save Button, Pattern : 1 - 11, Play / Stop Footswitch, Tap / Fill Footswitch, Press Both for Mode. Mooer Audio are based in Shenzhen, China and have been producing their micro guitar pedals for a few years and have subsequently taken the world by storm by capturing great tones in such small enclosures. This is handy for a number of reasons but mostly because these tiny pedals will help you save space on your pedalboard meaning you can cram more effects onto your board than ever before. Stop/Delete/Redo, all these functions are controlled by just one footswitch. 8.Loop saving function

There are also a few additional controls for greater loop control, including Level and Threshold. Level does exactly what you’d expect, while Threshold works in tandem with the Auto Rec mode that starts looping as soon as a signal level is detected. Here we see new generations of the Drummer Drum Machine and Looper Pedals - each featuring 7 ’Parts’ in the larger more feature-rich editions - noting that the ’Looper’ variety here is quite a different pedal to the fairly similarly named ’Groove Loop’With its AUTO REC function, the Micro Looper II automatically starts recording as soon as an input signal is detected, making it easy to capture spontaneous musical ideas without having to press any buttons. The Micro Looper II is a powerful and compact loop pedal that provides an impressive 480 minutes of recording time spread across three Banks.

I own about a dozen Mini Mooers of various stripes - and each of them does a fantastic job, while to date I only have one of the X2 Series - or namely the X2 Model X Preamp - which rounds up a load of Mooer’s Micro Preamps into a single enclosure - and those presets / algorithms mostly sound very analog in style with no noticeable hard or brittle Digital artefacts - some require some finesses on the dial in - but nearly all those varieties can sound pretty spectacular. The Digitech Jamman Stereo Loop Pedal also makes it possible to slow down or speed up a loop to required tempo, and has a headphone output and footswitch input which allows you to add greater handsfree control over the features. The Looper X2 is the culmination of over a decade of experience - developing easy-to-use standalone and combination pedals. The Looper X2 supercharges practice sessions as well as live performances by empowering the player to start jamming as soon as possible. Inherit the Mini size of the MICRO SERIES pedals, your pedal board can have more space and therefore you can put more pedals in it. Controls - Structure / Parts x 7 : Intro / Verse / Middle / Chorus / Bridge / Inter / Outro, Fade : Off > 55 > 10s, Threshold : Auto Off > -24dB > -6dB, Play : Infinite > 0dB > +6dB, Rec : Infinite > 0dB > +6dB, Save Button, Song 1-11, Rec / Play / Dub Footswitch, Stop / Clear Footswitch, Press Both for Mode.

Size wise the Micro Looper is going to win a few friends. And whilst there are other similar sized pedals on the market, the 30 minutes recording time and unlimited overdubbing stretches the possibilities quite considerably. Whilst more complex pedals with added functionality and foot control options will suit some, it’s great to see companies such as Mooer also see the use for more straight ahead units that are intuitive and still user friendly. With a looper this size and price it’s an easy option to slot into a board (even if real estate is tight) for some extra vibes when needed, or just throw it in your gig bag to grab when inspiration calls. Pedalboards took a departure from bigger sized pedals in recent years and companies like Mooer have fully taken advantage of that by creating a pedal for pretty much every effect you can think of… This little knob can control the volumn of loop. Can’t hear your SOLO? Turn down your volumn a little bit! The Looper X2, like with other X2 devices, includes Stereo I/O and a ¼” External Control out for connecting a footswitch as well as True Bypass to stay quiet when not in use.
