TC ELECTRONIC DITTO+

The new best mini looper to buy?

- Rob Laing

When the original Ditto looper pedal emerged in 2013, it was such a simple and effective proposition – a plug-in-and-play no-brainer for anyone wanting an easy to use, dedicated looper that didn’t take up much space on their pedalboard. Moreover, it was a superb introduction to the benefits of a looper for practice and creativity. But what if you want more than simple with the same mini footprint? TC has managed to cram it in the same mini dimensions here, but is it trying to do too much to stay intuitive with just three controls and a small screen?

A looper needs to be easy to use on the fly, and a quick start guide that’s a two-sided sheet not much bigger than the pedal itself suggests that TC Electronic is confident about delivering that – though it certainly leaves some important information off of it.
