The TC Electronic Ditto X2 is still incredibly popular as an entry-level looper pedal, and the truism with groceries applies to TC’s looper line: if you go one above the cheapest, you get the best value. So it goes with the Ditto X2. Incredibly simple on the front panel, there’s a single control for the loop volume, then it’s one tap to record, one to play, and there’s a dedicated stop button. There are two effect modes too, which offer reversed playback and half-time playback of your loops, stereo I/O, and the ability to load and save loops via USB. Simple, but highly effective and lots of fun to use, which is why it’s our current top pick for best looper pedals.
