Mini micro tiny looper
DonSchlup 10.03.2019
TC Electronic has made an affordable, functional, little looper with the Ditto, and there's not much to complain about it.
I've been using it to experiment with textures and layers, and it's been stellar so far. I've yet to try it at a gig, but at the moment there are no worries wether or not it will deliver, performance-wise.
Of course, given the price tag, there is the thought in the back of my mind wether or not this pedal will last very long, especially after reading about some long term issues with it. But I think that even if it doesn't, it's cheap enough to buy another one, or upgrade it if looping ends up being your thing.
To sum it up, basically, it's simple to use, it has good sound quality, enough time on tap to play a bunch with it before it overloads, and it doesn't break the bank.
So, this is one happy camper right here :)

EDIT: After a few months, the footswitch is on the edge of breaking, it seems. Several times that I step on it to record a second layer, and it just stops, or I step twice quickly to stop and it just deletes the whole loop. But still, it's ok for home use.

TC Electronic Ditto with Double Bass
Spoobler 13.09.2013
The day my TC Electronic Ditto arrived I was playing double bass in a pit orchestra for a production of 'The Sound Of Music'. I arrived early to put the Ditto into action before sound check.

The Ditto excels in every aspect that I was hoping it would. My previous experience with a looping pedal was with a Boss RC-20. I liked that pedal for the most part but I sold it for two reasons. 1: It was too large to permanently stay on my pedal board and 2: I felt that it altered the tone of my bass. So these two factors were what I was looking for in the Ditto. I was not disappointed. The size is obviously a big selling point, but the tone coming through the pedal is the clincher for me. Another bonus is that, because I used it first with my double bass, I found that it has a high input impedance, meaning that I did not need to place a piezo buffer in front of it. This is a very useful feature for me.

As for the looping functions - the simplicity is a huge selling point too. Some might think that it has too few features, but I give it five starts because the simplicity of the features is what attracted me to it. The Boss RC-20, whilst brilliant in it's ability to store what you've previously recorded, was simply more than I needed. No fault of Boss there. The Ditto just stores what you are currently looping. Disconnect the pedal and the loop is gone. I'm 100% fine with that. The only knob on the Ditto is to control the volume of the recorded loop - this is a very useful feature in my opinion as that really is the only parameter I want to have control of.

So, all in all it's a great product and absolute value for money.

A small looper with a great sound.
KonstantinosM 28.11.2020
The TC Electronic Ditto Looper is as small and as simple as it gets. It can easily fit into any setup and if you are fine with the minimalistic approach, it is an excellent basic looper.
It has an analog dry-through to ensure optimum sound, and the 24bit recording of the "loop" is also of high quality. These are the main reasons why I bought this device. As my previous looper, a Digitech Jamman, degraded the sound a lot.
The five minutes of loop time are more than enough for my use; mostly practicing or jamming with simple loops. Due to the single switch design, it is quite difficult to use in a live context though, ao I would look at the Ditto X2 or X4 if I planned to use it in a concert.
I use it in my Temple Audio board, just after my Strymon El Cap and Flint pedals in the signal chain and then directly into my Suhr Badger 18.
Some people report problems with the modern TC Electronic pedals, but I have this as well as a Polytune and use them daily for years without any issue so far.
All in all, if you are looking for a simple to use, small and affordable looper; look no further.

needs to be on every practice pedalboard
shallot 03.03.2022
if you re serious about timing, phrasing, speed and accuracy, and you dont have a 3 piece band behind you, or you dont have a full studio set up with backing tracks, etc, then you need this pedal. Its simple and it does the job perfectly

Endless Fun!
Anonymous 19.01.2016
I'm a very 'rootsy' guitar player with absolutely no interest in technology or gadgets. Until now I didn't own an effects pedal. Then, while I was in a guitar shop, I watched a saleman demonstrate this looper pedal to a customer. The sounds he was making were brilliant... and it was all so simple. Even I could understand it!

I had to get one!

This little box is magical! One button, one knob! And let's face it, nobody needs more than one knob!
The sound is as clean or as dirty as you want to make it. The extra layers/loops do not degrade the sound.
The intensity of the loop is up to you, anything from a dominant metal riff to a whispy background strum.

I particularly like it with an acoustic guitar (with piezo). I tap out a rhythm on the body of the guitar and shout in the sound hole... it all comes out on the loop!
Even the most basic player... and that's me... can add simple bass line or three chord tune on loops and solo over it.

No negatives with this (although it's a pity it's too small to have a 9v battery option).

If you're only going to own one pedal... then this is the one!

Basic but GOOD
Ciddu 21.03.2023
The pedal has pretty basic features:
Everything is operated with a single switch, and it memorizes only one loop, but the sound quality is very good, and stay good even after a few recording - undo - re-recording cycles.
Very happy with it , recommended!

A great and affordable looper, but, the features are limited.
montymergo 20.04.2020
This looper is a great choice for beginners that are new to guitar looping and want to explore the concept. The controls are simple and it's easy to use.

Here are some pros and cons in my opinion...

Pros:
- The sound quality is impeccable, which really is the most important thing you should take into account when buying a looper pedal. The sound signal is 24-bit with true bypass and analog-dry-through. There's no unwanted noise, buzzing, etc. Just remember to keep the firmware updated (you can find the instructions on how to do this on TC Electronic's website).
- Affordable.
- Sturdy and compact build quality.
- Small and easy to carry around.
- No quantizing. I see this as a pro, not a con, because it makes you aware of your rhythm and timing when playing, which is something that's rather important to learn.

Cons:
- The features are limited to only one knob that controls volume. There's no way to change the loop tempo with the Ditto, and you can only save one loop.

For the price, this looper might be the best one on the market. If you're looking for a simple and concise looper that's affordable, you'll like this one.

This is review is more for the quick and efficient service. The Ditto Pedal is amazing. Great quality audio and very easy to use straight out of the box (my first loop pedal experience).
