Electro Harmonix 720 Stereo Looper

When playing through the looper sounds OK but when hearing the recorded looping sound its was not pleasant compared to how the original sound was. I actually got annoyed by it! All loopers color the recorded sound but this sounded very artificial to me and unpleasant and far away from the original sound.

Compared to other loopers in the same price range (Boss or Ditto) I think it sounds worse. These two colors the sound but I think they still sound OK to my ears at least.

Functionality wise I didn't find any problems with it just that clearing the loop took some time when pressing the right button. The time frame could have been a bit shorter.

It got nice features but sound wise I would select another one instead.

Bra pedal som är både enkel att hantera men ändå har en del möjligheter under huven.

Avgörande för mig var att kunna sänka loopen en oktav och att kunna spela upp loopen baklänges och det gör den här pedalen med enkelhet och bravur.

Givetvis finns det mer avancerade pedaler med ännu mer minne och fler funktioner men för mig som vill ha en pedal för att kunna experimentera lite snabbt och spontant i studion så passar denna helt perfekt.

Hantverkskvalitén är inget att klaga på sett till priset och hanteringen är föredömligt enkel. En snabb titt i manualen räcker för att du ska komma igång.

Rekommenderas!

Finally! after a few months waiting for this pedal, its here.

I've been using this pedal for a few weeks already, its pretty intuitive and easy to use, has a lot of record time compared with the Ditto, a separate stop button (which is great to have when playing live), and you can also store several loops in memory that stay put even after it's powered down.

I like the size and layout of the buttons too. I mainly use it for on the fly looping while practicing, so I can play some lead over a rhythm, but I plan on fitting it into some songs while jamming live too.

If simple and easy to learn is what you want, this is a piece of cake, The red, green, and yellow LED lights, and the seven segment display are also pretty cool, and give you great feedback of which mode you are in at any given time.

I totally recommend it!

I bought this to have a few more features and a bit more ease of use than the Ditto Stereo I had before.

I wanted to have a few slots for different loops, so I can easily have my own backing tracks to practise over. The Ditto does have space for audio files via USB but I couldn't ne bothered to do it that way. The 720 has 10 slots and it's very easy to cycle through them and see which ones are empty or not.

It's almost my ideal looper. The only thing it lacks for me is a way to easily see the loop progress (like the circle that fills up on some other loopers). I think the 720 has a mode where it counts out the loop time on the screen, but I'm not sure how to use that and it's not very practical. That's a very minor complaint.

Creating loops works just like with most/all other loopersw and the other features are very easy to use, like setting the fade-out length, and using the reverse and half-time effects.

I often have to look up how to use all the functions of the two footswitches a few times because I keep forgetting how to stop and erase a loop. That's not the pedal's fault, I probably still have the muscle memory from the Ditto and I just haven't used the 720 enough yet.

I read comments that it's difficult to accurately set the start/end of a loop, and I read responses to those comments that the footswitch triggers release and not on the initial press. I naturally do a quick tap and not a long press to start/stop recording. Maybe it doesn't automatically sync the beginning and end as well as other loopers do, but I haven't found this to be an issue at all. It probably just takes a bit of practice.

All in all, no complaints really. I would strongly recommend this if you want a simple 2-button looper with a few extra features.
