Sheeran Looper X | We'll Be Using This From Now On!

[@doublej1881]

I wonder if Headrush will provide more enduring support for this than the Looperboard. The Looperboard was another high-priced pedal which was sold on the basis that it was firmware upgradable. All the marketing hype made much of how it was going to be continually updated. Meanwhile, Headrush releases one major update and then the product disappears beneath the waves. I can't have any confidence in the longevity of anything Headrush puts its name to. Just my opinion as a (disappointed) Looperboard owner.

[@MattSwain1]

For an extra £100 can I have one that doesn’t say Sheeran on it? 😂 (Not doubting his talent by the way)

[@christopherrushdudley]

There’s always gaffer tape.

[@taylordolletzki15]

electrical tape👌

[@TiagoPinho_music]

So, basically it’s an Headrush looperboard with better switches… sad customer service they have.

[@SongsForTiredEars]

As a current HR looperboard owner, I can attest that the company (HR) did not stand behind their existing customer base at all with the previous hardware version. It is clear that since in hindsight that they had moved on to this version of the product and possibly could not reveal this to their existing client base at the time. They have been radio silent on their own forum about the looperboard. Zero response to customer questions and concerns. They did 1 major firmware update that did improve the looperboard functionality and aesthetics to some degree. However, it was laden with bugs and there were no incremental releases after to fix....anything. Midi functionality is sparse, poorly implemented, and in some areas completely broken . I was forced to move on to another product which I am not entirely happy with either. But at least they believe in their own product, and listen to what the customer base has to say, They are actively engaged in the improvement of the product's core and functionality. The looperboard is now a $900 paperweight that rarely ever comes out of its handy $200 suitcase. I don't care if this thing could make me breakfast, HR lost my respect, and a customer. Cheers!

[@johnelcanrab2114]

Oh noooo! Hope you're still OK! 😊

[@JohnPaulMusicUK]

Wonder if Headrush will update the original Looperboard with the same UI?

[@FKA_Skull]

My honest opinion: this is the Headrush Looperboard with Ed Sheerans name on it. They abandoned and quit updating it almost 2 years ago, which meant they only supported the unit for about 3 years. A $1200 looper and they only gave us 3 years of support. I don’t know why this board would be any different. I’d proceed with caution and find this whole situation pretty disgraceful.

[@mikeswell9021]

Exactly, fck em and will continue calling them out for it every single time I see this product being advertised

[@jimi272]

Ok damn, was so hyped about this, reading this is a bummer

[@cellomalaysia]

I agree, totally cautious when it comes to their company, when sh*t hits the fan, don't expect any support from them at all, plus product lost all it's value and is buggy as hell

[@alexp641]

The looperboard Headrush is the same, he just have 3 ubs ports.... and it's cost 999eurs. Your Sheeran looper X cost 1400eurs and dont 't have news features. A second hand headrush looperboard cost 500eurs.....

[@alexandreferre3887]

look well you can find some at 400

[@adamcogan211]

I don’t use a looper but I can see this being incredible for anyone that regularly performs with one!

[@madontherun]

I've got one , it's called a DAW. Buskers could use it, Buskers that have £1200 going spare ,that is;-)

[@paulheartsongs]

The Captain meets Ed Sheeran… we need that video! 😅

[@CozBoogie]

Seems we all now know why Headrush stopped support to their Looperboard. Hopefully this will reinvigorate them to get back to the Looperboard.

[@Tezza777]

Oooaah Ed Sheeran you absolute bloody legend I bought one of these cause I'm terrible with technology but wanted to record some music I've had it about a week and its just dawned on me ive made a piece of music and it's recorded and saved and you've just solved all my problems with this brilliant little machine you are a absolute legend thank you thank you thank you for making this I'm absolutely stoked 👏👍👊🤘🤙🙏✌️✨️💫✨️💫✨️🌞

[@malcolmflavell]

Honestly, unless you can undo and redo instantly per track, this thing is way less powerful than any Boss RC product

[@BaselineHypocrite]

The looper built into the Quad Cortex is also called the Looper X. Maybe Neural could take some notes for their next looper update. This kind of 4-track looping flexibility would be awesome on the QC. They even have the right number of buttons. 😉

[@scottrussell9504]

I think Sheeran is trying to over compensate for his tiny guitar.😂

[@dratonbalat3423]

I just learned Mary Had A Little Lamb, and I'm watching this and thinking I could use this to enhance my performance😂😂😂😂

[@Vincenade]

OMG😳😳😳 cannot wait to read some comparisons and comments vs Boss RC-600

[@FreestyleFlame]

Same

[@gwendolinkirkegaard1812]

Tbh they are very similar as far as I can see (I use the RC600). Sure some differences here and there, biggest one is two channels less on the Sheeran one. But all the modes are in the Rc600 as well, it’s just a matter of settings. I just don’t see any reason to switch to the Sheeran one tbh

[@Idontlikethisever]

Everything Pete creates is pure Gold. I have a Theorie to it. It’s a reflection of his great personality.

Great product. Awesome job by Pete in final jam loop. And great job by team that edited video. To everyone at Andertons, thank you this video put me in a fantastic mood. Cheers!

[@czechplastik]

The new video room just doesn't look right. The black background doesn't work, the previous arrangement was much more aesthetically pleasing. I'm all for change but this isnt it. Doesn't help that they're both wearing black.

[@robertbrown2728]

Absolutely. The black wall looks grim and inhospitable. Please repaint it with a welcoming colour.

[@JonTorrence]

As a live looping musician myself, this makes me drool. The foot switches look so solid!

[@trevorD1156]

I dont need a looper this intense, but i actually love the footswitches.

[@DKinMN]

For real. I want these switches on the Prime.

[@comiendotrastes3444]

Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to connect it to a tablet so you can watch one screen (tracks, for example) on the board and another (say levels) on the tablet?

[@davidrobertson4301]

Someone found a way to make a boss RC-600 look cheap

[@Kozzy_music]

Or if you have an ipad, you can buy a 30 dollar app, that can do this and much more, with HQ effects . love the Loopy pro app to bits

[@EdwardAlexander-ABF]

Came here to say this. I didn’t watch the entire video, but I’d be really surprised if there’s anything this device can do, that can’t be done with Loopy Pro. Throw in a 79 dollar iRig Blue Board for your foot switches, and you’ve got everything!

[@christopherrushdudley]

I think you just saved me $1299. Gratitude!

[@dannyeap2764]

Yea way to unaffordable for any working musician😢

[@baronhead]

Yes! That band mode is what I have been looking for. A loop that you can use for improve and soloing and then have the different parts on 2,3,4 for song changes like bridge, varied verse, bridge, etc...

[@larswillsen]

I was like, if they start singing it will be a monster demo! 🙂 -- why did'nt you sing?

[@pedalporn6640]

So many moaners in the comments... You can't afford it and your looper or water is better. Blah blah, I am jealous, blah blah, the this I have home is better, blah blah..... Be happy for people an excited for new leaps in products.. It's honestly getting tedious..

[@TimmyRiversMusic]

People are moaning because it's not a leap. It's a cash grab. Only thing different looks like is it says Sheeren, & has big buttons. Other than that, buy not a similar, but same product called the headrush looperboard for 1/3 the price. Maybe you just enjoy getting sold. In that case, I have a car for sale. It's Leaps better than the older model. I can write Sheeren on the fender for you.

[@stevepower1372]

Check out Jarle Bernhoft live at Bauhaus from about 7 years ago to see a guy using a looping setup verrry nicely. Often with this kind of stuff I get bored waiting for the song to start while the player builds up endless parts over the same chord/progression. Nice bit of kit though, with a lot of features. Very spendy, and doesn't even come with the extra feet you'll need to operate it :-/

[@roscius6204]

Only 4 tracks... bup bah....... It's based on Ed's workflow.... clearly not mine.

[@cmcg5788]

I've been using the Looperboard for the past 2 years for all my solo gigs. FINALLY! It looks like HeadRush has stepped up its game and teamed up with people who really can give solid design input! Just the ergonomics of the switching makes it worth it for me -- I'l most likely get one real soon!

[@LivinginLosAngeles-re5yx]

It's funny, alot of people who kind of slept on the Headrush Prime are singing it's praises now. Headrush products offer so much value and are good durable products.

[@jamieblackwood501]

I was onboard until I saw the price . At £700-900 I would have been onboard but £1200 is madness especially when there’s loopers like the rc600 and Aeros for much less

[@jamieblackwood501]

But now I can’t stop watching vids and convincing myself I need it ! Makes the rc600 look a bit outdated without the nice big touchscreen display

[@pads-zr9ln]

£1200 for a looper? Thats crazy money

[@andertons]

It’s got so much more functionality than another looper… watch the video in full 👍👍

[@simonhall2682]

I have a Helix stomp, Aeros looper and Beat Buddy pedal, total cost £1300 roughly. That’s what you pay for this kind of flexibility.

[@liamhemmings9039]

About as much as a top smartphone or a quality amp. For the features it's amazing.

[@fabianvasquezjr8852]

​@@simonhall2682 same here I had the looper board before aeros I wasn't to thrilled about the glitchy software of the loop studio, never worked right for $900 bones! Looks like same software and setup I've invested to much into the singular sound beat buddy and maestro/areos to consider spending 1200 bucks!

[@DjDoggDad]

@@liamhemmings9039Crazy that there are apps like loopy pro for iOS and its a lot smaller form factor

[@digitalchris6681]

Crikey: at that price I could afford to hire a real backing band......

[@michaelbloom7266]

This seems like a repackaged looperboard. Not sure if its really worth upgrading to.

[@wizrom3046]

Is it just me, or is that thing COMEDY BIG? Like when people hold up a giant phone to their ear big? Come on Andertons, show us the real size one

[@ivandyap]

I had the same initial reaction. Comically big!

[@CorbCorbin]

There’s a smaller one. Two footswitches

[@gtmuse329A]

I appreciate the routing options. I have done live looping with a drummer and it was essential to be able to send a “loop only” mix to his in-ears, otherwise, once I start loudly soloing, he would lose the sync with the loop. I don’t think I would ever go this crazy on a looper though, as it is not a primary tool in my music.

[@jimi272]

Can completely relate!

[@studentsmusic]

Great device, but: No remote control via wireless IPad app or notebook (like eventide h9..)? Without an external editor on a stand you have to crawl down every time to tweak it or put it on a table like with all those other loopers I had and found annoying to change the ergonomical workspace for programming them. At that pricetag Bluetooth would have been easy to change that as an addon to the great screen I have to bend down to or use binoculars while on stage - so far I don’t see it or am i wrong?

[@danilopost]

It's basically a Headrush Looperboard. The only, and truly useful upgrade it's the FootSwitch!

[@Louis1996_1]

Totally

[@jonwhittington752]

It was made in collaboration with Headrush (even has their name on the back). I'd steer clear - Headrush has left Looperboard users high and dry on their forums for months.

[@danilopost]

@@jonwhittington752 Unfortunately I know, they want us to buy this new one. Headrush looperboard on sale!

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

This looper won't age well...too expensive

[@shitman674]

Well it’s not like it’s a ditto looper. This thing is basically a digital multi track recorder that’s been designed with simple to use foot switches. Its even got built in effects, it’s definitely not just a looper. It’s expensive but it’s in the same category as other digital floor boards that sell quite well at that price range.

[@DjDoggDad]

I would love to see a side by side comparison (features to cost) with an app like loopy pro thats already on my phone that i'm watching this video on.

[@adcharz7105]

Much as I love the interface and design of this, £1200 quid for what is ultimately a basic four track looper is something only ed Sheeran could afford! I''d recommend the trio+ with the FS3X control pedal. It's a tenth of the price and you can pretty much do all of this stuff, plus it will generate bass and drums from a guitar track, and supports entire songs with multi parts, transitions, breaks and tempo/style changes with limitless looping. Amazing bit of kit

[@PrachurjyaDutta]

My thoughts exactly. I have the trio+ and the footswitch and together they can do almost everything this can at a fraction of the price.

[@MajesticFuzz]

But if this does all your effects well for vocal and guitar as well as harmonies it could be amazing. I can’t wait to see if the harmonies are actually good.

[@thomasraven]

I like the Trio+ but you're exaggerating - it's 1/3 the price, not 1/10 (in the US at least), and there are tons of things it can't do that this can.

[@adcharz7105]

Don't get me wrong if I was minted I'd have this in a heartbeat. But Aside from the built in effects I'm a bit confused about the "tons" of things this does that the trio and the FS3X doesn't. I think absolutely this is a better live tool for a solo artist (i.e. Ed) for sure, and way more user friendly, but when you break ot down, its a still a very simple looper pedal for the price of a PC. In comparison my trio was 100 quid from reverb. Just pointing out the law of diminishing returns with this

[@jimi272]

@@adcharz7105nah, I disagree, maybe for just a guitarplayer it’s just another looper. But for a performer, this makes all of the difference: ed pointed it out in the video he made: as someone like him, you need multiple channels. You need a separate channel for percussion, one for bass, one for synths/guitar, one for vox, panning for stereo image, etc etc… I think it’s way above a trio+ Maybe when comparing to the EHX looper…

[@mesadeco1]

Just like the looperboard except smaller and different shape switches

[@roscius6204]

The home page is to busy. who needs immediate access to the firmware, transfer... any system stuff really. It's an accident waiting to happen. Like the routing options. Is 1 track taken up by the drums?? So its a 3 track, I guess Version 2.0 will have more I use the RC505 with an Morningstar MC8 and while the RC's midi implementation is infuriating its 5 tracks plus the drums. Guitars 1&,2 Bass, Keys and Sampler. RC505 on the table or rack with controller on the floor, Its funny that to use this you've got it on the table, in reality a touch screen on the floor seems a waste.

[@ALBUMHUNTERS]

Love the many xrl's for interfacing each individual track. Will definitely replace the Ditto+ with this. Does it have a master 1/4 inch output to imput into a speaker cab, or just MIDIs and XLR's?

[@ricardbennett6487]

Nice, but an audio interface, a midi pedal and an iPad with Loopy Pro fries this alive! At a fraction!

[@MultiBroncko]

I have the looper x my only question . Can you switch between songs with the pedal ? I know you can do it with the touch screen but can you do it with the pedals ? I can't seem to find it ...Thanks ..From Brussels

[@thefitnessmusician3551]

It’s pretty cool but Still not the flexibility that Loopy Pro offers with follow actions and AUv3s.

[@dammers89]

One thing i miss from the Rc300 is the big buttons. When I'm at home not wearing shoes i constantly miss the switches. Really like the menus and ease of use options of this

[@mattgee4867]

Yeah I got the rc300 too and find the buttons too small too. I've put some white felt strips on them to see them better in darker stage settings, but still. Wish they would've used the pedals from the rc30. What I really miss though is an indicator where I'm at in the loop. The Sheeran looper is a beast, but the price, damn..

[@elyssa.c90]

The Sheeran Looper X can be used as a looper or as a roof to your house!

[@dasczwo]

still waiting for. line 6 to sync their looper to its own internal midi clock. maybe bring out a 4button version in a new hx stomp update, blow everybodys mind? 1300…. well. nah.

[@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.

For personal/small band use, does this eliminate the need for a mixer or audio interface? I'm new to audio equipment, so can this basically act as an all-in-one solution? I feel like I'm missing something. Either that, or this is the most utilitarian piece of equipment I've ever come across.

[@Andreas_Straub]

the price of that looper is outrageous! I would rather go for some of the really good SW loopers available and add some MIDI footswitches ...

Do you guys know, why dont they include full fledged guitar fx modeller or profiler in it? You guys say it has powerful quad core processor chip. I assume it should be able to handle those fx modellers and profiler.

I could say that the Headrush Looperboard is the better one! I have experience with both of them. The new Sheeran X has a bad midi substitution. And the loop recording is inexplicably altered and distorted. I couldn't fix this even with time correction turned off. Conclusion: Unusable!
