Here's something I do with a looper. To practice learning the FORM of a song, record the MELODY first. For metal guys that might mean play the dweedley-dweedley bits to a metronome. Then practice playing the HARMONY (the chords, the rhythm guitar part) over that. Normally we think of working the other way around, lay down the rhythm part, then solo on top. Reverse that and it usually reveals some weak spots in your arrangement that you wouldn't have known about otherwise. It also allows you to use your musician skills to fit the rhythm section TO the soloist. That's what a good improv solo should be - the rhythm section supports and outlines the soloist. Practicing it the other way round makes the soloist the one who must stylistically adjust so as not to clash with the accomplish. Thanks Huge Arms Guitar Guy - Lumpy
I knew you looked familiar - I remember seeing one of your older 7 string reviews when you had shorter hair. Production quality has improved so much since then, keep up the great content!
I have this looper and it does the trick pretty good. It takes a little time to get in the hang of the way to manipulate the pedal, but it's great after that. In my own experience, sometimes you have to check the power connection just to make sure the pedal is getting power, cause I had a few occasion where I would not get the sound out of my amp and it was because the power cable got out of the connection without being visible. Also, a great use for a looper pedal is when you are looking for a certain tone, you can put it at the beginning of you pedal chain and record a part and after that do all the nice things to your pedals and amp to get the desired tone without any need to play the same part over and over again.
Useful comment, thank you. I just got this recently and managing your stomps takes some getting used to it seems. Between this and an open source drum machine called Hydrogen I'm using I have high expectations for my future recordings :)
+1 for very useful comment. Mine arrived last week and after a few seconds it mutes completely. I was trying to return it but after that comment of yours... I'll try to spray some contact cleaner on the 9V plug and give a last try. But yes... when working... it's a damn great tool
Great vdo, I saw these on Aliexpress and I'm GONNA GET ONE! : ) By the way, so glad u weren't playing a predictable fender. I love it when people use cheaper products proving that you don't have to spend millions on your gear. I'm a firm believer in not getting ripped off!
I really like your channel, when I started a few weeks ago. No joke. Everyone was like if you don't have a guitar that cost a million and the absolute most expensive gear then your going to have a bad day. Everyone, the stores, random people who play, jealous people on the intweb.... joke. Seriously, you made my day.
Hey man, I love your channel, I just wanna add that you can run this little pedal off a 9 volt battery, it just requires a cheap cable I personally bought off AliExpress, this takes the connector/power supply end for the pedal on one side, then has a 9V battery connector on the other end. I bought a high capacity 9V (2000 mah) off AliExpress as well to power this little guy. Anyway, please keep posting, love your vids, cheers.
Thanks for the comment. Have you been able to power this specific pedal that way? Reason I ask is that I tried to do that, and it didn't work. I tried 2 different cables of the style that you're describing. It only seemed to work with the adapter. Could be just me though.
Center negative is probably what the problem was. I made a custom adapter for a 9v battery with center negative instead of normal center positive, and it works still more than 2 years later. The 10 minute and unlimited overdubs makes ot a LOT nicer than a more expensive looper that only allows 5 minutes.
Good review, just bought one of these yesterday. My 2nd pedal ever. I needed a looper to record a song for a youtube video. Not to mention it'll be great for practicing improv. Figured why not just buy the cheapest one if it works and has all the features I need.
Coming back years later to this video just to say this looper has held up wonderfully, I've stomped on it constantly all these years and I still use it. I am considering upgrading to a boss RC-1 however, because I want the loop display and larger footprint.
I have brought this pedal after this video and it works perfectly. Make sure you have a decent 9 volt power supply or you will get a hum as I found out. Brought a new power supply and its perfectly works.
Got this one. It's a surprizingly good little thing, nice for practice at home, and having fun! I record with it backingtracks from my MP3-player thru the amp, and then play over it. Great review, Max, as allways!
good idea! did you find any other way to put your backing tracks into the SD, and use it with the looper. only? (i think it isn't possible, but.. who knows!).. Thank you Guitar MAX for the review and all those good samples :)
@@territorio_salvaje Don‘t know or use other methods, I just download backing tracks from YT, transfer them on my MP3 player. Plug it into the „aux in“ of the combo and record one selected backing track onto the looper. I jam over it and may delete the last layer(s) if not to my liking, to try again. I’m leaving the backing track as first layer. I also bought a cheap Mikrofone for fun experiments: adding sounds to the track made with my voice or with some items (bottle, whistle, harmonica, electric violin….etc)
That's the best way, you're right!@@lone-wolf-1 By the way, i'm using it with batteries (both 9V and 9.6V ), just keeping in mind the right polarity (negative at center). Very funny toy!!
@@territorio_salvaje So yeah, everybody does something else to fulfill their needs. As for batteries- I don't like the hustle and the costs and unreliability of them. So I plugged all pedals in via daisy chain in a high Ampere power supply. Just to keep in mind that for the needed ampere power of the supply, you just add up the ampere written on the pedals. Easy for me, because I use only four pedals (EH Metal Muff, Donner Giant Metal , Marshall Jackhammer and Ammoon looper) and one multi effect (Line6 POD 2.0)
A great way to practice is record a song all the way through and then play a lead Melody over it like an instrumental version. I have that pedal and love it.
@@jeremiahdonnelly9924 yes! While it is in playback mode just push the button once and it goes into record mode while continuing to play your previous recording so now you are adding to the first recording. You step again to end that recording and step again to begin recording again. Step twice quickly to stop playback and step and hold to erase
@@richardjacob4515 you can use effects pedals with it by linking them first so whatever effects you want are added to the signal and recorded in the looper. Or put the effects after the looper so they can be switched off if you want but the looper still has the recording. And the looper has a volume control that changes how loud the recording is compared to your guitar playing
Cool review and these simple loopers end up working better than Higher end stuff . Also you can record a drum Part on your phone and play it back over your pickups and add a drum part . Ala the EHX promo for the canyon . Your reviews are always straight to the point as should be , rock on brother.
*Thank you, Maxxxwell, for recommending this great little looper pedal!* I've been agonizing over what to put in my first pedal board. My dream board runs over $600, which is way over my current budget. Thanks to your discount code, I got this looper for under $35 on Amazon-so, I'm off to a great start! Have you seen the *Donner Harmonic Square* octave pedal? For about $45, it has a lot of nice features. It's not as cheap as the Behringer UO300, but it's more versatile and may work better. An octave pedal would be great for laying down a bass line on this looper. You'll make a one-man band out of me yet, Sir Maxxxwell. Thanks again!!! P.S. You made a subscriber out of me in one video. :)
I have this looper for playing on the street, and I lay the bass tracks down with a Zoom MS-CDR70. It's a multieffect unit the size and construction quality of a regular Boss pedal. It has a very good pitch shifting effect that made a few production pros go "whoah, I did not expect that" when engaged for the octave down. It costs around a $100, which is 2.5x times the Donner, but it will also work for chorus, delay, and reverb. My board for street work has a few Donners on it, but I don't think their digital pedals are much good, so I'd recommend against the Harmonic Square. If you really want a single mini pedal for octave, the Mooer Tender Octaver is very good.
Decent pedal if you make sure to completely forget that that USB port even exists. Mine worked flawlessly for about 5 or 6 months until I decided to plug it into my computer to save a loop I really liked. Last thing it did before it died, and I've read I'm not the only one.
Sorry others have had problems. I've had mine since shortly after this came out. Beat it to death, dropped it down the stairs, just keeps on working. Hope others have been good also.
Very cool demo. I will definitely be waiting for the other version when you review it to see which should I buy and best fit for my needs. Thank you Max for what you do. It has helped me a lot.
MaXXX I bought this looper about 8 months ago. still working great. has had some feedback here and there, but I play loud and fast with fury. like you bruh.
I just ordered mine on the Nov. 20th, of Wish.Com , cost $27.00 shipping was $4.00, said would be delivered by the 27th but arrived 3 days early and arrived today, can't wait to try out out!!! Also got the 9v charger for it came a yesterday. Also for real cheap cost, check out Wish app on Google play and download for free!!!
Thanks a lot man for this informative review. Because before this I kind of hesitate to buy this product due to its brand name. But after watching this I will definitely get this one for my personal collection.
Thanks, man. I was just about to buy a much higher end looper. It turns out this little bugger does almost the same job for a fraction of the price. Keep up the good work.
I have had this pedal for almost a year. It is a great practice tool - really allows you to see how good your rhythm playing is. I like to plug my acoustic electric into it, record an acoustic rhythm track, and then plug my electric into the pedal and put lead lines over top of the acoustic rhythm track. Only drawback - about every three months it goes brain dead, power off and on doesn't clear it, so I hook it up to the computer and download a previously saved loop to it and then its fine. I bought this one because it was the cheapest at the time - I think it's identical to the higher priced Donner and Rowin nano pedals.
Kory Ladd no it just stops responding to inputs, i.e. the foot switch won't start/stop or clear it, cycling the power on/off doesn't do anything. Uploading a saved loop to it from the PC seems to reset it and then it's fine. It has happened about 3 times in the year that I've had it, and it gets almost daily use.
That will teach me to not go by 1st impressions. As soon as the vid started I was expecting thrash, grunge, shred from the outset - but was very happy to be surprised by the range of other genres demonstrated. As excellent demo of how to use a basic looper, irrespective of its make, with good advice about using loopers in an FX loop. Good job.
This is the only looper pedal which i afford to use and im using it for my daily performance and this ammoon looper pedal are so practical and easy to use 👍
So basically you can record a whole rhytm track for a song on guitar (as long as you nail it in one take), then add a leadguitar/overdub track and then move the file to your computer? If that's the case then this seems like a great pedal for making rough demos that you can send to your drummer/singer etc when writing songs.
Good review, should have showed multi tracking. I bought one of these , really do sound good. Best Practice tool ever! Great inspiration for writing. Yep Effects loop is a must . If you don't have one and you play 2 distortion tone tracks, your amp will fart out trying to handle All the distortion at once ,the first track gets distorted a 2nd time.
I have an Ammoon looper pedal but very different to the one you are reviewing. My amp has the send and return jacks at the back but i have never used them. I have used the XLR out puts when connecting to an external source but never quite understood the send and return part. Now that i know i am going right now to figure it out. Thankyou Max for that piece of knowledge.
I'm afraid I must disagree with you about this being the best budget looper pedal. Lekato make a similarly priced looper which has lights clearly showing the timing of your "loop". This is invaluable as you don't have to remember or count when the loop starts making overdubs much simpler.
Get your money back if you can, this pedal has been "updated" to a broken version that does not connect to the software and only comes up as a flash drive. You can tell which one it is by taking it apart and looking at the chip (old one was 2A, new broken one is 6A) and also the fact that they stuck an 8gig SD card in a holder on the bottom of the board rather than use the (probably faster) onboard memory that the old pedal had! This causes a delay when recording and a short gap between loop playbacks. Unfortunately since the software no longer works on this version I can't even upgrade the firmware! Total and utter SCAM. Report the seller that sold you that version.
@@auntjenifer7774 BTW, it is more expensive but I went to my local reputable music store and purchased a NUX loopcore delux bundle for around $250 aussie dollars. Comes with a separate footswitch for changing banks etc easier on stage. It eats batteries, but it's solid as a rock and I have even made backing tracks to put on it and use on stage (it takes stereo WAV files from the computer and uses them as the "loop" track when you press the button) and it all worked perfectly on the night. It will hold something like 20 or 30 high res wav files for gig night. Just FYI in case you are looking for an at least affordable and really good, working pedal!
... every where i read about it people have problems with it,- including me,- it will play the music, but it wont record/loop or playback anything.. is this just a scam or what? can someone help me get it working?
@@archonaries3387 yeah, did you try another one? Getting a refund at the moment, i thought people did use this one after watching this video, but im not going to try another cheap pedal again.
I got one recently in white and it is awesome! I use it with my acoustic to add some solos and leads to songs. There is a little bit of a learning curve (timing is imporant) but once you get the hang of it it is great. Placement in your pedal chain is important or you'll end up adding effects to your loop.
When i use this pedal there is an issue i can’t solve. After my loop it always takes a 1 or 2 second break. So it does not loop again immediately. Anynody knows how to solve this? Thanks
Your timing in hitting the looper pedal is off...it's not the looper...as soon as you would go back to the beginning hit the button basically at the same time you hit through chord to start your progression over.
Awesome Guitar Looper review! This is actually perfect pedal when somebody is in the rush or don’t have time to put it or less space! Why even need a two guitarists when it can be only one guitar and the looper pedal is the second guitarists, or just play duel guitars and set to another rounds of small layer fill in guitar 😎👍🏽👍🏽
I bought this. Mine for some reason keeps fading out. There's no fade out function as far as I can see so I don'y know what's happening but it happens every time. Every loop fades until silence. Can anyone help? Is this a common malfunction? If so, just keep that in mind before buying.
Problem i have with my current is there is a 2 second blank time delay and it messe's with the timing bad. Does this pedal have any delaybefore or after?
Oh hai mark
So how's your looper?
Lol
gh0ul gh0ul Keep your stupid looper in your pockets.

Yesssss lmao
i think he has his arm day on loop as well

This is the best comment ever.
He's going all Petrucci.
Here's something I do with a looper.
To practice learning the FORM of a song, record the MELODY first. For metal guys that might mean play the dweedley-dweedley bits to a metronome.
Then practice playing the HARMONY (the chords, the rhythm guitar part) over that.
Normally we think of working the other way around, lay down the rhythm part, then solo on top.

Best explanation of why to put looper in effects loop.

that's the most ingenious thing i have ever read... i mean seriously I'd have never of thought of that
what happens when it runs out of memory? does it start fading out layers like dl4?
Ah wonderful I was experiencing this problem only yesterday.

As soon as the vid started I was expecting thrash, grunge, shred from the outset - but was very happy to be surprised by the range of other genres demonstrated. As excellent demo of how to use a basic looper, irrespective of its make, with good advice about using loopers in an FX loop. Good job.
This is the only looper pedal which i afford to use and im using it for my daily performance and this ammoon looper pedal are so practical and easy to use 👍
How long did it last?
@@juancarloespiritu5514 able to use it for 3 years and finally on last April it has stopped working 😅
Brilliant video dude
Wow that is one amazing pedal. Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks for the review, You do a great job with your video's and I just wanted to say thank you
You're welcome Eric!
So basically you can record a whole rhytm track for a song on guitar (as long as you nail it in one take), then add a leadguitar/overdub track and then move the file to your computer? If that's the case then this seems like a great pedal for making rough demos that you can send to your drummer/singer etc when writing songs.
Yep! You can do up to a ten minute track on this looper, so you could probably even knock out a couple song ideas in one shot.
Cool! Do you know what sort of audiofiles it creates? Mp3?
Thanks for a great review, Kinda wanna buy one of these now!
WAV's I believe.
David Widén my ammoon looper is holding up okay, for $20 Amazon it's a deal. I break gear constantly, since 5th grade.
Learnt more than most guitar lessons on scales thxs
It does double recording looping too, its kinda tricky to figure out. Wish you wouldve explained how to use it more than just showing off your chops.
That was so badass Max I love the pedal and I'm getting one
Dude, that t-shirt is absolutely awesome!
Great reviews you do, man. Great playing also. Respect. I am going to order that loop in the next 5 minutes. Thanks.
I have this looper on my board and love it
Old video but I just ordered this pedal, thanks for another great review.
Good review, should have showed multi tracking.
I bought one of these , really do sound good. Best
Practice tool ever! Great inspiration for writing. Yep
Effects loop is a must . If you don't have one and you play
2 distortion tone tracks, your amp will fart out trying to handle
All the distortion at once ,the first track gets distorted a 2nd time.
Another quality TH-cam resource. 👍
I have an Ammoon looper pedal but very different to the one you are reviewing. My amp has the send and return jacks at the back but i have never used them. I have used the XLR out puts when connecting to an external source but never quite understood the send and return part. Now that i know i am going right now to figure it out. Thankyou Max for that piece of knowledge.
Very good demo. Thank you.
You literally look like Nathan Explosion from Metalapocalypse lol.
Great review, pal
I'm afraid I must disagree with you about this being the best budget looper pedal. Lekato make a similarly priced looper which has lights clearly showing the timing of your "loop". This is invaluable as you don't have to remember or count when the loop starts making overdubs much simpler.
thanks for this review, picked one up and very happy with it
Thank you Max for posting this.
My Ammoon looper only lasts for one measure then automatically loops without me pressing the button. Is there a way to change this? I just got it.
Get your money back if you can, this pedal has been "updated" to a broken version that does not connect to the software and only comes up as a flash drive. You can tell which one it is by taking it apart and looking at the chip (old one was 2A, new broken one is 6A) and also the fact that they stuck an 8gig SD card in a holder on the bottom of the board rather than use the (probably faster) onboard memory that the old pedal had! This causes a delay when recording and a short gap between loop playbacks. Unfortunately since the software no longer works on this version I can't even upgrade the firmware! Total and utter SCAM. Report the seller that sold you that version.
@@ballsrgrossnugly that's true this guy knows how shit works !!!!
@@ballsrgrossnugly it's not the sellers fault tho it's the manufacturer.
@@auntjenifer7774 The seller was told his product was a fraud and kept selling it anyway. It was the seller's fault just as much as anyone.
@@auntjenifer7774 BTW, it is more expensive but I went to my local reputable music store and purchased a NUX loopcore delux bundle for around $250 aussie dollars.
Comes with a separate footswitch for changing banks etc easier on stage.
It eats batteries, but it's solid as a rock and I have even made backing tracks to put on it and use on stage (it takes stereo WAV files from the computer and uses them as the "loop" track when you press the button) and it all worked perfectly on the night. It will hold something like 20 or 30 high res wav files for gig night.
Just FYI in case you are looking for an at least affordable and really good, working pedal!
damn that was some smooth playing!
Dude yeah me and my buddy were watching this and thought the same thing
Nice bud, been looking for a budget looper pedal for ages, cheers.
... every where i read about it people have problems with it,- including me,- it will play the music, but it wont record/loop or playback anything.. is this just a scam or what?
can someone help me get it working?
Halid Talic I just got my today, and you really have to be very precise with your timing,my is working e excellent
Mine does not even turn on. Many have this problem. I even wasted another $20 trying a 500mah power supply
@@RutherfordBcrazy my adviser is to buy your lopper in a trusted music page. And go for a model you know other people use.
@@archonaries3387 yeah, did you try another one? Getting a refund at the moment, i thought people did use this one after watching this video, but im not going to try another cheap pedal again.
@@RutherfordBcrazy you get what you Pat for 😜
I got one recently in white and it is awesome! I use it with my acoustic to add some solos and leads to songs. There is a little bit of a learning curve (timing is imporant) but once you get the hang of it it is great. Placement in your pedal chain is important or you'll end up adding effects to your loop.
From one man to another man, you're pretty good looking. Keep rockin it man!
Ha, gayyyyy
Great review. Just bought one of these based on your review. Just subscribed. Thanks.
I use a Digitech Jamman 250- great for solo shows. Mostly I just record a chorus and solo over it, but the potential is there for real craziness.
Great review also👍 for the shirt
Great show and tell...thanks...getting one now....preciate the assist!
Great demo and good and informed presentation
Thank you for your presentation, excellent.
The mosky looper pedal at $25 on ebay, can be used as a footswitch as an addition. It has 4 inputs. I'm going w the mosky.
Thanks !! This is the most useful video for me right now. I'm going to get one.
Please check out the reviews before you get it! Some people have had trouble with this lately.
Hello. Just followed the link and ordered one off ebay. Looks affordable and easy to use. Appreciate it..
Wow, the companies are all making their effects smaller and smaller. Sounded good. Thanks for the heads up!
Great review, thank you.
Excellent review. Thank you!
When i use this pedal there is an issue i can’t solve. After my loop it always takes a 1 or 2 second break. So it does not loop again immediately. Anynody knows how to solve this? Thanks
Your timing in hitting the looper pedal is off...it's not the looper...as soon as you would go back to the beginning hit the button basically at the same time you hit through chord to start your progression over.
I’ve the same problem and I think that is a looper feature i would like to solve that too ...
Do u have find a solution?
Cool little pedal. Thanks.
cool,i just got this pedal can't wait to try it,
you can get an elimator and use a battery with any pedal that runs 9 volts
you have a link ? ty
Great review. I have a looper and beat buddy. The effects loop info was great.
Amen!!!
Testify brother!
Thank you Severus Snape :)
Awesome Guitar Looper review! This is actually perfect pedal when somebody is in the rush or don’t have time to put it or less space! Why even need a two guitarists when it can be only one guitar and the looper pedal is the second guitarists, or just play duel guitars and set to another rounds of small layer fill in guitar 😎👍🏽👍🏽
I bought this. Mine for some reason keeps fading out. There's no fade out function as far as I can see so I don'y know what's happening but it happens every time. Every loop fades until silence. Can anyone help? Is this a common malfunction? If so, just keep that in mind before buying.
Problem i have with my current is there is a 2 second blank time delay and it messe's with the timing bad. Does this pedal have any delaybefore or after?
Great video! Saludos from Puerto Rico!
Mine doesn’t go into record mode instantly like yours there’s a millisecond delay so you never get a clean loop
Same, how do you solve this.
Thanks for the excellent review. Also, nice playing!
Thanks!
