In this setup, the looper will capture the exact pedal setup at that moment within the loop and won’t react to any changes you then make on your board. You can also put it in between effects depending on what sound you want it to capture. When it’s in your effects loop, you have the flexibility to turn your reverb and modulation effects on ...

Jun 29, 2022 · How to use a looper. Using a looper is pretty simple. For most, you hit the record button to start recording, and hit it again to stop recording. Most loop pedals will start playing the loop back immediately. Obviously, timing is key here, particularly when playing with a drummer or band, but practice makes perfect.
- Learn To Count Time (1-2-3-4) The most important aspect of learning how to use a looper pedal, hands down, is the ability to do basic counting. When you first start using a looper pedal, you’ll notice how some of your loops will be disjointed, or off, rhythmically.
- Don’t Use A 9V Battery – Use A Power Supply. If you’ve read my guide on using batteries in guitar pedals, you’d know that 9V batteries don’t last very long in pedals with an LED.
- Make Sure Your Looper Is Accessible On Your Board. If you’re actively using a looper pedal, it would be best to put it either directly in front of you, away from other pedals, or at the bottom part of your board where it’s most accessible.
- Practice and Apply Music Theory Concepts. This is one of the main reasons why I got a looper pedal in the first place. You’ll never learn how modes work, how chords work, or how certain notes sound over other notes (harmony), if you don’t have some kind of tool to allow you to play more than one note simultaneously.
Feb 26, 2022 · The Boss VE-8 Acoustic Singer, along with Boss’s Acoustic Singer line of amplifiers, supports looping together with effects for both voice and guitar, including a vocal harmonizer.

There are many different looper pedals available with a wide range of features. This lesson will focus on basic features to make sure you can use any looper pedal available. To give you an idea of the most basic type of loop pedals available, to the right is an image of the Ditto by TC Electronics. It’s an incredibly simple looper pedal (read my re...
This exercise will get you used to opening and closing the loop. You will start thinking about timing without having to stress about complicated rhythms. If you’re a beginner and just getting used to counting the beat while playing, this is a great exercise to start with. In this basic loop we want the chord (choose any chord you feel comfortable w...
In this exercise we simply pick a chord (in this example A minor), then strum it eight times to give up two full bars in the loop. At the end of the second bar, we hit the looper footswitch to end the loop. Here’s a breakdown of how you will play this using a looper pedal: 1. Hit the looper footswitch 2. Immediately start playing the exercise 3. Af...
The most important part of creating a loop is to make sure the loop finishes at the right point. A loop pedal requires you to push a footswitch at the start of the loop, then again when you want the loop to finish. Your job is to time it so the end of the loop is at the right position. Listen to the below example to hear what it sounds like when a ...
Let’s move on to something a bit more musical and useful. Being able to keep a steady rhythm is important for a loop and timing the end point of the loop is crucial. Fortunately with a bit of practice you will be able to easily time your loop perfectly without the need for quantizing. In this exercise we will take a standard blues shuffle and creat...
Once you feel confident in creating a basic loop and timing the end point so the rhythm continues seamlessly, you can start to experiment with overdubbing. Once you have a loop set up, you can hit the record or overdub footswitch again to record over the top of the loop. This is a great function that lets you build up very rich loops. Live guitaris...
Now that you have practiced recording and looping some basic patterns and rhythms, it’s now time to try to come up with your own rhythm to loop. Even if you’re a beginner you will find it easy to come up with a basic pattern and loop it now that you can set the end point of your loop properly. Here are a few ideas for different simple things you ca...

The key to a good loop is timing the start and end points properly. If your loop pedal has a quantize function, you will find it easy to create well-timed loops. But as explained earlier, think of quantizing in a similar way to auto-tune: it’s a useful tool, but it shouldn’t be used to overcome poor skills. This lesson taught you how to develop you...
Jul 27, 2021 · 5. Guitar 5: Busier part. The space in the previous loops leaves room for us to add this final part which is busier. Adding this type of rhythm changes the feel of the loops and gives everything more of a feel of urgency. Think of this part as being more of a riff-based idea as opposed to the chords/melody approach.

Mar 27, 2022 · PLACEMENT IN THE PEDALBOARD. This pedal will record and then play the exact sound going into the input of the pedal: that means that, if you place it in between your pedalboard, you will hear the recorded sound with the effects before the loop pedal but the sample won’t have the effects after, because they are not actually going into the looper.
