Paul Gilbert demonstrating Ditto X2 Looper

[@DaremAq]

Hands down, the coolest person to hold the guitar!

[@Ch1ck3nb0y47]

The reversed solo sounds so beautiful. In all honesty this video has shed light on a seldom explored realm of music. Bravo!

[@arthurm8731]

Every time I see/hear Paul Gilbert play, there's always a "wow" factor that makes me pick up my guitar and play.

[@dpruittt09]

yeah me too, then 10 minutes later I put it down and say "nope, still not Paul Gilbert status"

[@xTidus24xx]

wow that reverse solo part was AMAZing

[@patchlord2112]

That half speed demo was AWESOME!....so cool

[@ShoreStudios]

The reverse solo improv part sounded a lot like a random Steve Vai jam, very tasty and melodic.

[@tedmich]

Paul's such a joyful goof, I wish him even a small fraction of the happiness he's given us over the years!

[@mrholmesly]

3:16 Oh now i get it! Paul Gilbert playing backwards is actually Steve Vai! XD Hahahaha

[@beni1377]

XDDD!

[@AudreyYun]

omg LOL

[@RJ-lf8ex]

When I'm in a shitty mood this is the only video I need to watch to make me feel better. It's my go-to video for years.

[@jeffmaxwell7041]

Your demonstration sold me on this piece of equipment....Came in today, 10 minutes later it's up and working and I am very impressed. I will be able to incorporate this into my practice routine as well as live performances....Thanks Man! Max Ventura, CA

[@oddfellowfloyd]

I love watching Paul play and having so much fun and joy with each note. He's awesome and laid-back and encouraging.He inspires me when I work with my guitar students. \m/

[@jamieofalltrades536]

Gilbert is an amazing guitarist, never tire of hearing him :) Thanks for the video!

[@lemmyhangslong6330]

The ever impressive and fun Paul Gilbert

[@johnstanley6977]

I keep coming back to this video just for Paul. Wish I could play that effortlessly

[@john84896]

Amazing that this guy can be so dam good...doin it for so long...and still have the enthusiasm of a 16 year old hitting that first open A...bravo to that!

[@taylormzalewski]

the Ditto is literally the most fun/best guitar purchase I have bought. Its so creative building your own melodies and playing over them. I also have a DSL40c like in the video and its a killer amp

[@anejo333]

My goal on guitar is to be as happy as Paul Gilbert looks as he plays nevermind the shred

[@onzkicg]

anejo333 yeah and he's also good blending with other musician.. see his jam sessions with Nathan east, Guthrie, G3 etc.. he has really good skill & personality.

[@averyellis]

@@onzkicg met him at a clinic; nice guy in person, too.

[@theodoresilas1200]

instaBlaster.

[@ScottLaneMusic]

Paul Gilbert is an inspirational genius and seems like a overall nice guy. This clip is motivating me to buy the pedal - Good job Paul!

[@josephadam220]

it kinda pisses me off that he knows what chords hes playing over when he's making up a solo and then can reverse it in his alien mind

[@shink3760]

Same.

[@SirSwiftusFunkellwerk]

LMAO

[@pinofredd]

And also the precision to make something at double speed that is perfect in timing half speed.

[@kidritalin1]

Totally pisses me off to .... similarly to those 12 yr old little bastards shredding up in a way i haven't been able to achieve in two decades of playing.

[@LutzTeichmann]

HAHAHA

[@Tombo1230]

Paul Gilbert you rock! Love the face pulling. A man happy at his work!

[@ReinOwader]

this last part with bass sound came out pretty cool.

[@MrLassD]

Such a great player!

[@aidanbryden4691]

Best looper video I've seen by a million miles :)

[@WillyQ60]

I freaking love this guy

[@SavageGrace89]

That legato piece was freaking epic normal and backwards

[@ianhunter1966]

That is very cool! I think I'll have to go get this pedal. I love how Paul shows so much passion in everything he does!

[@thomasfourth]

Paul Gilbert is wonderful. :)

[@Greg_In_SoCal]

I can't play worth a sh*t, but PG just sold me Ditto X2 Looper!

[@nwk-wt3ty]

Demonstrated the featues of the pedal really well. Very helpful. Thank you 🇬🇧

[@HewittH]

Gotta echo the love for Paul Gilbert.

[@JeanHoland]

I never see a reverse loop so cool like that

[@jamesdenham6739]

Paul, you're awesome!

[@drmarymusic]

Thank you! Love your positive passion. I want to use this thing so I can play multiple instruments live. Wish me luck!

[@adrianmarsglam]

Paul's playing is tasty as always! :D

[@Counsell44]

He's amazing - cool effects with the lopper too!

[@IsaacKDick]

Looking this hurts my jaw... Great performance and great looper.

[@JakeHoffmansYouTube]

I just want to say that I told Paul about the Ditto Looper at the Great Guitar Escape last year. Not sure if he took my advice, but if he did, you're welcome Paul

[@fendafred]

Amazing tool for those who are lloking for inspiration. Excellent demo from Paul... as usual ;o)

[@UAiiTaLeNTz]

That tone is just, YES

[@zororosario]

This Paul Gilbert guy can play a guitar! Supreme demo of what I need & want for a looper.

[@danico94]

"I'm gonna play a SLOW bendy sustainy solo"

[@violator5K]

Fantastic demo!

[@joaoalex]

I love it how he jams and then speaks to the audience like we are his little children, ahaha "That is a blast", that seriously cracked me up!

[@Shredwizard445]

Paul has such a good ear

[@nonh8nsk8r]

Just bought one today, which is why I'm here!

[@mikestroudiscool]

Paul, you crack me up, you are the best. God Bless you brother...you make me want to play better

[@Velghe87]

Who needs an expression pedal when you have THE FACE. ;-)

[@Alchemist3333]

Hilarious mate! Bravo!

[@HoneyNutBeemo]

The 1/2 speed thing was incredible!

[@ShadowLancer128]

look at the sound that he's on to! Shit, man, i hope paul gets a new solo album out soon!

[@Mustaine1ify]

Great pedal i'am going to buy one right now. Wonder if I can get me one of those 3 inch pinkys too lol.

[@JeremyBlackFrog]

Now that is a product demo! Amazing!

[@raul_guitar]

Damn, he just nailed that guitar hard

[@Weloz92]

The reverse jam TOTALLY had a Funkadelic "Maggot Brain" feel!

[@LoQDubious]

Best Ditto Looper demo...EVER!!!!

[@PeterGrenader]

Nothing like a guy telling you he always tells the truth ;)

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

"Good clean family shredders you can trust". Such a nice guy.

[@DenseSilkyVenom]

Thanks Paul! Now I HAVE to have a Ditto 2x looper!!!

[@mywaveinwoodswoodperfumes]

i just bought this device,its absolutely awesome

[@pimorules]

Paul Gilbert is the best!

[@skymotovlog007]

Does Paul Gilbert and Buckethead play together??...Hmmm

[@jduncanm3golf]

reverse is the most melodic solo he's ever played

[@J89898080]

that thing is awesome! God that guy has killer tone...

[@spiralarips]

wow reverse jam was so awesome!

[@miked3317]

And I always tell the truth 😂. Paul is such a fantastic guitarist and such a great guy , you can not not love him. He can shred as nobody else but his power- blues playing is really incredible.

[@tekz44]

Come on guys,the face is what tells me how much fun he's having,heck im going to start making my fun face. this review Rocks

[@bulzah]

omg look that long fingers

[@BloodBerth]

That comment matches your profile pic perfectly.

[@Mark70609]

阿马德乌斯爱德华 Yeah, but his hands must account for half his body weight! It's a joke dude.

[@TheDunateen77]

Whoopty Doo all the better for picking his nose with haha

[@MrJackal43]

Whoopty Doo he and Buckethead! Freaks..

[@billyarsenault1970]

Are you saying that y ou seriously didn't know Paul Gilbert IS Buckethead. Wow. That cat has been out of the bag for almost a decade.

[@Mrmre]

Hey guys, I just got that looper, and noticed when i started looping, when I FIRST press the loop switch to start recording, it makes a clip noise in my amp. Same thing when I ERASE the loop I hear a clip sound in my amp. Anyone else experience this? Its powered by the Voodoolab 2+. Is this a power issue? I changed my patch cable, and same thing. Even as a stand alone pedal I still hear that clipping sound when I first hit the looper switch. I would appreciate any advice any of would have

[@BwanaTube]

You could rule out power supply issues by slapping a 9v or two in the pedal, but hurry up and test, because they'll only last a few nano-seconds ;) I haven't noticed a click issue with my setup.

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

One has to be as fast as Paul Gilbert to loop real "bass" parts with Ditto X2 :)

[@ArthurPinhas]

Will definitely buy one in the future.

[@jasonlee8497]

The backwards solo was quite good.

[@onzkicg]

Jason Mcclaren yeah really cool- quite challenging how he sampled it here tho, playing rhythm on your own post solo will reveal if your notes are still making sense or have gone far in the woods!

[@gfrozin]

The "VIP" bracelet tells a lot. Could be also: VAG - very awesome guitarist.

[@flips220]

Paul is my guitar idol.

[@SufferDYT]

Having to play at twice the speed to get a an octave effect at the correct tempo is really unnecessary, why not just include a pitch shifter? i understand that the octave effect is a consequence of halving the tempo but it breaks the 1/2 speed feature for anything other than bass lines.. i would much rather there be an octave drop setting as opposed to having to work around the half speed setting by playing twice as fast to create a bass line. what would the purpose be of a half speed setting anyway if it didn't affect the pitch and cant be done in real time?

[@BwanaTube]

I tend to use it to speed up lines by recording at the "half" speed, and as just a general "change-up" pitch. But I don't tend to use loopers for normal one-man-band song structure applications. The half-speed and reverse function the same way they have for years on the Line 6 DL4.

[@asig000]

it has to do with the sample rate. loopers sample digitally and simply half the sample rate to get that speed.

[@umanitanova5769]

Is this something you're really griping about? An unnecessary use of a feature?

[@lredsel]

He seems like such a super super nice guy!

[@WRXjasonSTI]

TIL Steve Vai is Paul Gilbert playing backwards

[@joeya5438]

It was kinda weird how he said he tells the truth at the beginning.

[@BlueJon1975]

Is it a bad thing that I want to be him? Great demo, love the playing and feel.

[@tekz44]

INSANE...Is it legal for Paul to have this much fun? well count me illegal,for i just enjoyed you playing,A LOT GREAT VIDEO...because off your video,I bought one

[@continentalgentleman6778]

Amazing tone :)

[@asiat30]

The reverse effect sound like japanese emotional music. Really good.

[@H.Sandro]

Good morning, you can connect in one of the inputs of theDitto x2 pedal, an output from the computer's audio interface?to send you drum loops for example. I have tried and if it recordsbut it is not heard through the speaker.Thank you.

[@neurocosm]

Is a solo played in Eb backwards still in Eb? My theory blows. :D

[@joshichabod]

yes

[@TimurIskhodzhanov]

Reversing the time doesn't change the pitch (time multiplier: -1.0). Slowing down has the multiplier of 0.5, thus the pitch goes down an octave.

[@kimhansen6384]

No it is bE :-)

[@SirSwiftusFunkellwerk]

Paul Gilbert is responsible for me purchasing this device....

[@tcelectronic]

Thanks, Sir Swiftus Funkellwerk ... and thanks, Paul Gilbert! :-D

[@SirSwiftusFunkellwerk]

word! totally expanded the band! We have a 3 piece with an imaginary 4th person on Rhythm guitar. I call him "DatMuhfugga Over There..." +TCElectronic

[@nevillepark8847]

'Very enjoyable sound you've got! I don't know where you picked up a guitar like that but back in '07 I drafted up schematics for a body design which replicates that one (with a few variances). Where is it built?

[@ParaBellum2024]

Look up "Ibanez Fireman".

[@tony322322]

what's the effect started from 3:21 to 3:56? that's pretty cool

[@tony322322]

not the reverse function by ditto i mean the effects used for the dreamy tone he's playing

[@karlhenrikarendt]

Gilbert is good, love this bass gimmick he makes!

[@johnong2655]

Man..... You got Paul Gilbert there...... What can you say?

[@jeroenjanssen5162]

Hello. First of all the best wishes for 2017!! Now a question. Is it possible to make an update for the Ditto that makes him start recording not until you start playing? Others have that and it would make the Ditto even more brilliant. Jeroen.

[@tcelectronic]

Happy New Year, Jeroen! Fantastic idea, let's see what we can do :-)

[@jeroenjanssen5162]

TC Electronic Thanks! That would be great. I use an electronic kick drum sometimes, which I like to loop, and of course it's always on the first beat. I have not enough spare feet :-) Can you keep me informed please?

[@crisrose521]

How do play in time with a drum beat or click to keep the tracks you like ?

[@whydoesgoogleneedmyname6839]

Do the rock star faces come in the box?

[@Ascendancy-]

that reversed solo sounded FUCKING GORGIOUS

[@bukkettbongzz]

Anyone now if you can record more loops at actual speed when using the half speed as the first loop? I'm guessing not as Paul didn't while demonstrating Paranoid.

[@weaselpopper]

I watched other reviews and thought half tempo and reverse were useless. Probably will be for me? Thanks Paul

[@acdc725]

When I try to record a pass on my Ditto there is no sound so you have to know what your run is before you play, then its real hard because your run is loud and your next pass is silent. How does he operate his set up so that the recording process is live instead of canned?

[@jrmybwedding]

gotta love how he goes zero to full guitar face in 1 second.

[@birdmanbl]

Beyond cool and a cool dude nice work

[@tweedguitar9103]

For recording, stopping and overdubbing do you always press the switch right on the 1 ? The exact start of the first beat ? thankyou for your help

[@yadelcordero8725]

whats the overdrive hes using?

[@RockyStradlin]

Awesome Pedal! How much it can record?

[@shreddy412]

I have the original it has 5 mins loop time and endless overdubs. Great pedal.

[@RockyStradlin]

I am new on the pedal things. I am getting 3 or 4 pedals... I will add this.

[@daliorivera7568]

What's the name of the first song he played? Anyone please
