Dude thank you for this! The stop function (around 8:00) is gold for me. Especially when you’re playing and singing. You don’t want to have to focus on holding the button down or clicking twice. I have the single-button Ditto but will more than likely upgrade to the X2
I've watched the 'official' tutorials and even those by 'experts' but I have to say this is the best of all of them. Easy to follow and understand without all the hype. Even this 68 y/o guy can follow it!! Thanks Jake, appreciate your effort.
My daughter bought this a few years ago. I didn't know anything about loopers back then (a little more now). So now I use it. It's pretty basic but this video at least outlined it all for me. I think I'll mover on to a new looper pedal. Thanks man!
This is the Ultimate Tutorial for the X2. Everything on here. Well, except for the switches inside the battery compartment. Don't know what they're for. Great job.
At about 2:24 he mentions the loop switch having Rec/Play/Dub functionality. That's the default mode for the pedal. If you flip one of the switches (refer to the manual), then it will be put into Rec/Dub/Play mode. As far as the other dip switch is concerned....I can't find any info on that.
There are two small switches inside the battery compartment. The first I don't know about but if you flip the second from the default position the pedal is set so you can overdub directly after you've finished your first loop (Like a default boss looper pedal). Really important option to have if you're planning to record long loops and don't want to wait a whole length of playback time before you can overdub. You even mentioned it when you discussed the long length of the TC Electronic drum tracks. It's hard information to find, I read it in an Internet manual. Can't figure out what the first switch does though...
Jake - thanks so much - my Ditto Looper x2 been sitting on the floor unused for a while despite my best intentions. Your video and the loops at TC Electronics made it like Christmas all over again!
Five Star Review Jake. Thank you so much! My x2 seems to keep one (or the last combination of layers) without pushing the switch up to "store" even after powering down the unit. Seeing as the x2 has no bank, it's limited to one "stored" loop at a time with the ability to accept additional layers? I'm going to mess with it to figure out how to access the single stored loop retaining the ability to play around with looping independently without using or disturbing the one stored loop. TC Electronics should buy this review from you. It's easily the best in depth tutorial I've seen to date. Thanks again. Cheers
Fantastic tutorial! I've had my X2 for a year and never got around to figuring out all of its functions. This video walks you through it with ease. Thanks very much, Jake.
THANK YOU, JAKE! This is the best tutorial on the web for the Ditto X-2. I've come back to it several times to pick up all the tricks and tips it has to offer.
one of thee BEST demo video i've ever seen on TH-cam !! GREAT job buddy...you should do demovideos on EVERY pedal, 'cause most demo videos the guys just show off their guitar playing ( pretty much theyALL SOUND THE SAME )....
Jake honestly you answered all my questions. I liked and subscribed. please make more videos bro. I'd love to hear what gear you like and how to use it.
Sorry I’m new to this but I got my answer from reading through the other comments, that you can only store one at a time. I guess either from the computer or something you created. If I’m wrong let me know. Thanks again. Great job explaining.
hey jake, just got the diito looper from my wife xmas. and ive used your tutorial video, really useful info mate, thanks for uploading. rob from england
Had this pedal for ages. I've always used the right foot switch for stopping / deleting and so forgot you could wipe just the most recent overdub by holding the left switch. Very useful. One minor point I find it keeps my loops during power off even if I don't specifically 'store' them. I think storing is just for transfer to PC/Mac
Fantastic review. You really explained a lot of what I didn't know. Have been on the fence with this but now I think I know this is something I can really use. Thanks man.
Thanks Jake, It can do a lot more than I thought. You've explored it very well. I've only had it a few days and now I'm way ahead in the learning curve, thanks! I wish I'd seen your video first, because I've deleted a loop that I really wanted to save. That'll tech me not to read RTFM!
Clear and concise review! I like having that single-stop button feature. I should add that the single-button stereo looper version can be set up for single stop by adding a tap button but it goes into the stereo input which renders the stereo outs as two mono signals --bummer. That's why this version is the best!
Good job and thanks for the lesson. Cleared up my questions about my X2. A quick story about the Reecho pedal. Actually just the word . I had to read it in a sentence when I was in 2nd grade. To my second grade mind it was pronounced as 2 syllables “ reech-o” not three syllables “re-ech-o”. I had to keep rereading it and the class was cracking up. That stupid word fucking traumatized me for life. Rock on!
Jake you did an awesome job explaining and training on how to use the Ditto X2. I also learned that because I can only store one backing track at a time, that I really don't need it for my purposes. For example, Beat Buddy gives you a digital original drum tracks that you can use. But playing with the download feature every time means taking it off the pedal board every time. Not what I want. Again great job! Keep up the good work.
I thought that was a great review I just recently purchased the ditto looper Mini and I love it and you just gave me some ideas once I upgrade thank you very much
Jake, I’ve owned a Ditto X2 Looper for a least a year or more and never used it. I have been staring at it, wanting to know how to use it for all that time. Now that I’ve found your video, I’m ready to do just that. Thanks! The only question I have is can I use is on a Spark amp?
Jake you did such a good job covering this pedal, I decided not to buy it because it can only hold one loop at a time rendering it useless in a live setting. Thank you for such a detailed demo. Cheers

Leaping loopers, Finally! A perfect tutorial/demo - seemingly, the rarest of accomplishments! Thank you and respect!
Best looper review I've seen on TH-cam. Just ordered the x4.
This is the best tutorial on this pedal on the internet... bought one halfway through. Thank you, mate!

This is a Good demo… Îve never heard such a clear & concise explanation… thanksgiving

Thank you, i was looking for this
Did you ever find out about that first switch?
@ilikeitdark13 I guess not. I couldn't even remember the first switch. I only flipped the second once and like it that way.
Jake - thanks so much - my Ditto Looper x2 been sitting on the floor unused for a while despite my best intentions. Your video and the loops at TC Electronics made it like Christmas all over again!
I bought this pedal about 3 years ago and never used it, now I know how it works, thank you.

Best explanation of this pedal! Way to go man, great job!
Best and most complete Ditto X2 review that I've found. Thanks!
Fantastic tutorial! I've had my X2 for a year and never got around to figuring out all of its functions. This video walks you through it with ease. Thanks very much, Jake.
Whenever I dig my x2 out , I’ve always forgotten how it works 🤷🏻♂️… your vid helps me remember 😀👍🏻
THANK YOU, JAKE! This is the best tutorial on the web for the Ditto X-2. I've come back to it several times to pick up all the tricks and tips it has to offer.
great demo!
@Tom ditto
Excellent demo Jake.
Great tutorial! I bought on of these from Reverb with no owners manual and this helped a lot! Very well done.
Thanks so much for the tutorial, man. Just picked one up at the pawn shop and I was clueless. You helped a ton. Pretty cool!
one of thee BEST demo video i've ever seen on TH-cam !! GREAT job buddy...you should do demovideos on EVERY pedal, 'cause most demo videos the guys just show off their guitar playing ( pretty much theyALL SOUND THE SAME )....
Hey Jake - First Class Review - If the Queen has any credibility and integrity, then she should instantly put you on the New Years Honors List !!!
At last I can now use my looper. Great tutorial. Many thanks
Jake honestly you answered all my questions. I liked and subscribed. please make more videos bro. I'd love to hear what gear you like and how to use it.

Thanks so much. Perfect overview, tutorial, everything I needed for this pedal.
Your backing track is straight up It Feels Good to be a Gangster, Office Space. Cool! Thanks for the lesson! 👏👏👏
hey jake, just got the diito looper from my wife xmas. and ive used your tutorial video, really useful info mate, thanks for uploading. rob from england
Great demo, I bought this for my board, wasn’t sure all the functions it had, tkx
Thanks for taking the time to do this video - very informative! I'm about to get the X2 tomorrow!
Had this pedal for ages. I've always used the right foot switch for stopping / deleting and so forgot you could wipe just the most recent overdub by holding the left switch. Very useful.

Exceptional work Jake - to the point and detailed! Subscribed.
Great demo...thanks so much for sharing!
great video! I was using my buddy's x2 at our last jam (I have one too) and there were a few things I forgot your video covered them all! thanks
This was an amazing demo video. Thank you for all this information. Blessings.
Just bought one of these . . A fantastic review . . Well done . . Full marks 10/10 . .
Fantastic review. You really explained a lot of what I didn't know. Have been on the fence with this but now I think I know this is something I can really use. Thanks man.
just got the pedal and this was an excellent review and insruction. thank you.
Thanks Jake,
It can do a lot more than I thought. You've explored it very well.
I've only had it a few days and now I'm way ahead in the learning curve, thanks!
I wish I'd seen your video first, because I've deleted a loop that I really wanted to save.
That'll tech me not to read RTFM!

Just bought this and am looking forward to using it. Thanks for the awesome tut!!!

Damn! Great frigging job Jake. I need to spend time polishing my X2 skills.
Thanks a lot! I ordered this exact one.
Thanks for the tutorial! I just bought this and needed simple guidance. Great job!

Curious if you found something that works for looping drum beats?

I think you missed commenting on the dip switches inside the battery compartment. Aside from that, GREAT!
thx. great video. now i know how to use my new toy :)
How many loops can be stored and how do you get to them when needed without going to PC??
Jake, I’ve owned a Ditto X2 Looper for a least a year or more and never used it. I have been staring at it, wanting to know how to use it for all that time. Now that I’ve found your video, I’m ready to do just that. Thanks! The only question I have is can I use is on a Spark amp?
Jake you did such a good job covering this pedal, I decided not to buy it
because it can only hold one loop at a time rendering it useless in a live setting.
Thank you for such a detailed demo. Cheers
Hey what did you end up buying?
So are you saying that you need a computer or similar to save your songs there's no facility on the machine to save tracks?
