The TC Electronic Ditto Stereo Looper pedal brings stellar stereo sound to looping, housed in a conveniently tiny enclosure. With the Ditto's simple one-button interface, guitarists can quickly layer loops and overdubs in rich stereo. The stereo I/O offers extensive routing options to integrate the pedal into your existing rig. Import backing tracks from famous guitarists via USB to jam along and spark your creativity. Then export your loops to continue working on them later. When disengaged, the Ditto's true bypass and analog dry-through ensure your tone remains pure. And the uncompromised 24-bit audio quality captures every nuance. With up to five minutes of looping time and unlimited overdubs, the possibilities are endless. The Ditto Stereo runs on a 9V battery for portability so you can loop anywhere. For guitarists craving an intuitive stereo looper, the Ditto Stereo packs creative features in a conveniently compact pedal.

Jam With Your Heroes Using Innovative Backing Tracks

The Ditto Stereo's innovative StarJam feature lets you load backing tracks from legendary guitarists like John Petrucci, Steve Morse, Guthrie Govan and Paul Gilbert via USB. With hours of material created by the best in the business, StarJam is an instant creativity boost. Jamming along to the varied grooves and riffs will quickly push your playing to the next level. The accompanying loops from world-class musicians enable you to experience collaborating with your heroes. Allow their legendary licks and rhythms to elevate your practice sessions. With StarJam backing tracks, the Ditto Stereo provides inspiration from the cream of the crop.

Stereo Sound Opens Up Your Tonal Palette

With stereo inputs and outputs, the Ditto Stereo Looper gives your loops a spacious, three-dimensional soundstage. The stereo perspective adds depth and realism, surrounding you with your looped rhythms and leads. Sculpt lush tones by assigning different effects to each channel. Stack complementary loops on the left and right for interwoven textures. With creative routing options, the stereo I/O expands your tonal palette. The 24-bit audio quality captures every harmonic in crystal clarity. Dial in the perfect amount of stereo spread for your loops. Whether practicing at home or performing live, the immersive stereo sound of the Ditto Stereo Looper will astonish your ears.

Intuitive Interface Keeps Your Focus on Playing

The Ditto Stereo Looper's ingeniously simple interface makes looping second nature. With the one-button design, your mind stays focused on playing, not pedal controls. The uncomplicated workflow ensures seamless transitions between recording, overdubbing and undoing layers. The Ditto's compact size fits perfectly on crowded pedalboards, always within reach of your stomping feet. Engage the switch to start capturing your first loop. Hit it again and the loop plays back, with the analog dry signal preserved. Hold the footswitch to stop and save your loop. Then continue stacking layers with more footswitch clicks. The Ditto Stereo's intuitive operation enhances your creativity, not distracts from it.

Built-in USB for Importing, Exporting and Backing Tracks

With the onboard USB port, the Ditto Stereo Looper enables seamless exporting and importing of loops. Save your loops as WAV files to continue working on them in your DAW. Load up previously created loops to jam along and spark new ideas. The USB connection provides quick access to the StarJam backing tracks from legendary guitarists to elevate your practice routine. For comprehensive looping functionality, the Ditto Stereo's USB connectivity adds convenience. Import, export, save and load loops and jam tracks with ease.

This pedal makes you a one man band with no Yoko!

This is a singer/songwriter's best friend. Plug your instrument into this stomp box, (guitar, bass, etc.) plug this box into your amp, and plug in a 9 volt power supply (not included) and you are ready to record layers upon layers of music, you can put down a rhythm section, and play lead over the top for hours. When you like the next lick you work out, stomp on the button, record it, and then it becomes part of the backing track... in no time, those little licks work themselves into whole tunes. The USB port on this device allows you to export anything good you work out and store it on another device. Brilliant creative tool to make you practice more, enjoy it more, and get better at doing it. I play several stringed instruments, so I swap out from one to the next, lay down the bass, then guitar, all on the same practice track. This quickly allows you to listen to a scratch mix of a song you are working on, and identify what more it needs. Awesome design, simple straightforward build, all quality, no gadgetry. Sturdy little stomp box has such good sound quality and clean pass through. Worth twice as much.

Live performers beware!

I have heard so many good things about the Ditto Looper. It's supposed to be easy to use and the playback quality is incredible. I did my research and decided to go with it. I am a solo acoustic musician who relies on looping to stay true to certain covers with leads and solos. I did not know that at least 1-3 times during my 3hr set, the playback would misfire. I clicked once to record, once again to playback the loop and...nothing comes out. Operator error? Nope. I have a shroom on the stomp button for accuracy, a wingman replacing the vol knob to eliminate the room for error when stomping twice to kill the loop. Plus I mentioned clicking once to record and once to play the loop. Sometimes it will playback initially and Ill need the same loop again later in the song when it decides to play nothing back the second time. This is extremely embarrasing upon entering into a solo. TC Electronics offer ZERO support. I had to sign up for this Music Tribe care ticket thing on their site which will probably never get answered. Sweetwater was super helpful getting me another pedal overnight as they could not figure out what the issue was. By the way, the brand new Ditto had the SAME problem even after I updated the firmware. Frankly, how has no one had this issue?! I am so confused. This pedal has so much potential and TC will never fix the issue because no one can get ahold of them to tell them. If you want a high quality sounding looper for bedroom songwriting where an occasional misfire can be excused, by all means. If you're a professional who wants to remain sounding professional, DO NOT GAMBLE ON THIS PRODUCT.

    The best thing I like about this is the ability to import and export tones. On the TC Electronic website they have plenty of sample tones to play with which really helps. Also you can throw in your favorite song to jam to. The device has one gig of memory and comes with a mini USB for transferring. You have to either connect the pedal to an adapter or have a cable in the input (if it has a 9V battery inside) to be able to connect to a computer. But it acts like a flash drive once its connected. I do recommend downloading the manual online since it only comes with a quick start. I highly recommend this pedal to anyone, period!

    On the surface this product looks like it is exactly the same as the original mono looper but, in addition, it has stereo input, the ability to download and upload backing tracks and will work off a 9V battery.  Plus it's only $10-$11 more.  Seems like a lot more features for that small a price.  Am I correct?
