Sheeran Looper + | An Amazing Portable Dual Track Looper!

[@marctestarossa]

i recently got this to replace the boss rc-50 for gigs and busking. it doesn’t work for everyone, but it makes my life so much easier. it’s simple, it’s without unnecessary features and just a completely different approach compared to the boss loopers. i spent weeks to figure the rc-50 out with its 7 pedals, countless buttons and knobs and i had to work so hard to make it do what i want. the sheeran is pretty much plug and play. but you need an additional dual foot switch. and it’s no problem to use the encoder dial as an extra button, just use it for things you don’t need to press all the time like fade-out or something. for me this is a fantastic device.

[@BrownAroundTown]

I am excited about this looper! As an acoustic guitarist, I use a drum machine, running both guitar and drum machine into the looper. I am hoping that I can use one of the routing modes to combine both guitar and drums into one line, which I will send into my PA system. Thanks for the great video! It really helped me to get my feet wet, as I just ordered this pedal! The fact that it has the large pedals, and not the usual foot switch, was a huge plus for me!

[@garygalinos1176]

As usual another great video and playing guys. After watching this video yesterday I purchased mine today. Having so much fun with it, it's an awesome bit of kit :)

[@picksalot1]

I love looping. I used a Boss RC-20 for years, then moved to a DigiTech JamMan Stereo for the better 24-bit quality audio. It started acting wonky a year ago and broke a few months ago. I now use an old, free Mobius software Looper on my PC. It's amazingly versatile and powerful, but requires reading the Manual to set it up for practical use. My HX Stomp has a Looper, but no "auto-sensing" to start recording foot or hands free - A real oversight, particularly for desktop use. The built-in Looper uses a lot of DSP, and must be added as a separate Block to each Preset. This is inconvenient, and should be a Global Block.

[@mindwizard3632]

So what have you found to be the optimal setup for your use case? I've found I cant work with a daw, nor use pedals with alot of options or effects. the Looper has to be super simple and allow me to stay connected to the instrument and the musician-mindset. With big boards and knobs to tweak, almost always I get distracted with setting something up, fine tuning some parameter. The inner studio engineer comes to life and stifles the mojo. That touch is missing and inspiration is long gone..

[@AllanGildea]

Opening loop - glorious.

[@BryanBowser]

I just got one of these and couldn't be happier, so far! I really don't care for all the effects and drum machines that a lot of brands bundle in their loopers. I would never use 'stutter' or 'reverse'. I just want a looper that excels at looping without being too complicated. The Looper X is realitvely simple but tweakable, has good sound quality, can serial loop, play in stereo and take a mic. You could gig without dragging a board around and send the signals to two different places and adjust each channel. $400 Cdn . Pretty good value for a quality piece of gear.

[@GuiR3X]

Thanks for sharing. I m hesitating because what I need Is a looper that can get a loop on A for chorus, and then switch to B for another part, and back and forth. Is it easy to do with this looper, or do you think the Rc500 is more likely to make it an easy flow ?

[@nikhilnarahari8424]

Can you adjust each channel separately? I didn't hear them mention that in this review. How are you getting on with this looper after 8+ months? Still working for you?

[@BryanBowser]

@@nikhilnarahari8424 yes you can adjust each channel separately and even configure it so the channels go out separately.

[@nikhilnarahari8424]

@@BryanBowser Awesome! Thanks for your response - that's good to know. I'm wavering between this and the Boss RC-500. right now. One other thing I wasn't super clear on... does this looper let you adjust levels for each loop track independently? Or is it just one loop volume? Hope my question makes sense!

[@BryanBowser]

@ You can adjust the levels going in but not out independently. However, I have two separate channels going out to a mixing board which allows for separate effects, level and pan.

[@HighLifeWorkout]

Loading your own drums is a game changer

[@bassyey]

Boss have that already, this is not changing any game lol.

Headrush is garbage. This unit is basically the Looperboard without the defective hardware.

[@HighLifeWorkout]

@@bassyey you can load your own drums in the boss unit? I thought you could only use the preloaded drums ?

[@irenabosworth9707]

I can only get the imported drum loop to work in SINGLE MODE, or am I mistaken? You are then tied to the length of that loop of course . It won't work in any other mode, it keeps reverting to single

[@antonio.lovric]

​@@bassyey could you tell me which boss device have that? Thanks in advance!

[@MusicWizard85]

You guys need to review the Aeros Loop Studio. The top loopers I see people using and loving are: Aeros Loop Studio, Boss RC 600, Boss 505 Mk II, and the Sheeran loopers.

[@DukeOfRocks]

Thanks for the video and great playing! Can a second instrument (synth or guitar) be plugged into the "mic" input, if the stereo inputs are occupied, instead of a mic? Can the pedal be USB powered? Liked from a USB power bank or computer?

[@BeefNEggs057]

[@jeffshirkey3085]

I didn't quite follow how you got around the limitations of the Looper + by sending the drum track to someplace other than the guitar amp. Could you show how you did that in more detail in the comments perhaps?

[@andyr8805]

Can it do start stop on both recorded tracks simultainiously? Loop volume levels might be a thingy too.

[@ichibandude]

I like how the pedals are like Boss pedals. Boss should have done that for their bigger pedals.

[@k333zboy]

Thank you for the video!! What does the midi feature do?

[@pellebohansen]

Love your videos:) what about a video about a Pedalboard with Sheeran Looper + and with what pedals to have in front Of the looper? Maybe even a Pedalboard able to do acc guitar and/or El-Guitar into the looper. And, maybe even with a Vocal processor pedal like the TC Mic Mechanic 2. All in The same board. A Solo looper artist gigging board :) that could be awesome to see how you would do. Best regards from Pelle - ALSO FROM DENMARK 😂

Question guys: I think I’d be lost with the big X, but would need the extra footswitch at the plus. Your demo one has the tiny buttons I always miss with my clumsy feet. Would the boss fs6 work, or are there others with big pedals?

[@GeckoRC]

Great video! Thanks I have this looper since today and it's great but: I have a latency while press undo/redo. (about 0,5sec) This funktion is absolutly instant with my BOSS RC-1 Also if I use an external footswitch. (FS-6) Do You have a latency too?

[@EADGBe2002]

Can this little unit quantize automatically and does it have a count in?

[@markusleb]

Like the drum loop / aux loop load but still cannot replace my trusty old RC-30 unfortunately as it lacks an Aux input that can be recorded which I use to add a synth to the setup with git / HX Stomp and mic.

[@josuevenegas27]

Can you load and reproduce backing tracks in this model just like the big verion?? Btw I love this model 🔥

[@milos4437]

The imported drum loop will only work in SINGLE MODE, or am I mistaken?

[@karltraunmuller7048]

[@beenay18]

I bought rc 600. Because it is 3 times lighter, smaller size, has 6 tracks, 2.33 times cheaper. It took me one week to set it up to my liking. Does not have touch screen. So have to learn stuffs via youtube and parameter guide. Can only use 4 fx at a time unlike x which can use 7 at a time. But its enough for me. But I am pissed off that I cannot assign different input fx banks to different tracks so that corresponding input bank is automatically activated when I play a certain track. I dont know if such functionality is available in other loopers. I would like insights from other looper users on this issue.

[@cameron435]

Any plans on reviewing the Ephiohone Greeny and Adam Jones LP’s?

[@artnelsoncreative]

You guys didn't talk about saving loops. Does it do that, and how many songs can you save?

[@fishcakes1621]

I use two Zoom G1XFOUR in series, that way I get drums and guitar fx as well as 2x30 second loops. 30 seconds is just about OK coz I don't want to spend ages building up the backing. 👍

You'll need something that gives phantom power. For on the road something like the xvive P1 would work fine.

Also I don't play bass guitar but I can play bass on my regular guitar I'm just asking cuz I'm getting close to buying one of these for my guitar store right now but I need to know that information thank you have a great day. -Cheers

[@XENONEZZ2]

Lee...I wish you would cover Singular Sound's Aeros......it's a looper your customers need to know about....yes it's more expensive but so easy and intuitive to use....this Sherran Looper will be fine for people who can use it properly but as a first looper it could well end up a rather costly paper weight.....my advice to people out there in KZbin land...and this is from someone who's frustratingly been through just about every looper on the market is to stay away from any unit with a small screen displaying all the info and save yourselves a heap of cash by buying the Aeros with it's large display which makes looping a real pleasure. It visually helps you to sync your loops perfectly and I've never owned anything else that comes close to doing that.

[@3DpastorDOTblogspot]

Agree. Excellent looper - love love LOVE the huge screen!

How do you load in the Yurt Rock drum tracks. I did it via USB, but they are not showing up in the looper...

I purchase this and was disappointed to find that there is one simple thing that it does not allow you to do. Record over a looping track. Once a looping track is set you can only overdub, record one more loop and go back and forth between those loops. I can't find any way to re-record a loop without stopping everything. Perhaps it's possible using the "clear" function with a foot switch? I'm not sure.

[@CathalWhelehan-i3o]

Can someone please explain to me what the difference is between Record/Dub/Play and Record/Play/Dub? Until now, I'd never heard of there being a "default RPD" on Boss pedals or that other pedals possibly worked differently. I still feel like a complete looper novice even after years of trying, so by all means, feel free to explain it to me as if you were speaking to a six-year-old. Thanks!

[@GeckoRC]

It's very important for Your personal loop style. And of course, You can change it even at the BOSS RC-1. Sometimes I want directly overdub avter the first record and sometimes I want to playalong after the first record and need the next overdub later :) It's that easy

[@brianbutler9775]

No phantom power is a dealbreaker as I use loopers for saxophone

[@bldallas]

I’m asking this before I even watch your video, because I’m guessing I know. Does this looper have an easy editing function for cropping off off the starting fraction of a second or two, and/or the ending fraction of a second or two? I’m guessing the answer is still no….none of them do. And why? The hardest part to creating a seamless loop, is the start tap and the end tap (or double tap). I have to sit while I play, so my pedals are hand activated and sitting on an elevated board next to my chair. This is SO AGGRAVATING and would be so simple to fix. Just help players like me, CLOSE THE LOOP! Until someone finally does, I’m done screwing around with loopers.

[@TheWilliamHoganExperience]

You need a looper that quantizes. Check out the Aeros Loop Studio by Singular Sound. I've had mine for several years, and it quantizes, and does multi-tracks and sound parts. It's interface is a fairly complex however, and it has some annoying workflow issues too, especially when it comes to clearing loops. It integrates well with the Singular Beat Buddy drum pedal (via midi) The Beat Buddy is the best sounding drum machine on the market IMO. It has it's own issues when it comes to programing drum loops and set-lists, (terrible software - think arcane idiosyncratic 90s era interface) but again, it sounds fantastic. Even with quantizing you need to be fairly precise with your footwork, or your loops will sound choppy. It can only do so much. I think of my loopers are musical instruments - they require years of dedication and frequent practice to fully master. You can hear my solo performance live looping set-up on my channel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4G6ooFvrJ2Vo9U

[@bldallas]

@@TheWilliamHoganExperience thanks but that’s not what I need. I need a simple looper pedal that allows me to trim the front and/or end of a loop. Period. It’s not complex, the actual electronics would be so easy to design. Put a knob on the left that pulls in the start spot and a knob on the right side that pulls in the stop or “reloop” point. Buttons could do, it too. Think of how simple it is to edit the length of a video on your smart phone. Seems like such a practical addition to a basic loop pedal, yet no one does it. Why? I don’t want to have to use a laptop or a $600 “station,” I’m not recording anything. Just would like to easily create a nice tight loop to riff over. Thanks for your reply, though.

Don't you hate that- this always happens to me- that's the nature of the market nowadays. It moves so quickly, whatever you buy- there's something better a few weeks later. But- you have to jump in somewhere, and it really doesn't matter how long you wait- because it just keeps improving at a breakneck pace. that said- it would pay for one of these companies to standardize a form factor and stick with it I think- because ppl like to get used to a looper and hang on to it- they don't like having to reprogram their muscle memory over and over and learn a new user interface. If that stayed basically the same, but the unit could be upgraded- I think ppl would love it.
