The Long Story.
The
MXR Clone Looper Pedal is highly engineered for incredible sound
quality, comes packed with features in a pedalboard-friendly housing,
and can be as simple or complex as your needs dictate. Everything you
expect from an MXR pedal, in other words.
Whether
you’re practicing at home, captivating audiences with improv
compositions onstage, or weaving intricate sonic tapestries in the
studio, the Clone Looper Pedal has you covered. Just plug in, power up,
and start recording an unlimited number of layers—up to 6 minutes
long—that will be stored even when the pedal is off. A super convenient
LED gives you a flashing 4 count to the beginning of the loop so you can
keep your overdubs tight. Loops can be stopped and started in an
instant, and your most recent layer can be undone just as fast. Run
effects to your heart’s content—with storage sample rates up to 88.2kHz,
so this little box will handle even high-gain distortion with ease. To
keep your pre-loop signal intact, the MXR team also included an analog
through-path. On top of that, the Clone Looper Pedal can be set for
either buffered bypass or true bypass switching to accommodate your tone
and signal needs.
The Clone Looper
Pedal also comes packed with options for sonic explorers, from changing
up the speed of your loop—to double-speed (3 minutes of recording time)
or half-speed (12 minutes)—to reversing it entirely. Connecting an MXR
Tap Tempo Switch to the CTR jack allows you to control all of these
functions externally. The EXP jack provides further external control
options when you connect a DVP volume pedal to adjust the loop’s output
level or an MXR Tap Tempo Switch to engage Play Loop Once mode, which
allows you to pull off smooth live performances and re-trigger your loop
over and over again for DJ-style stutter effects.
Pedalboard-friendly
and built like a tank, the Clone Looper Pedal is easier to use and
delivers higher fidelity signal reproduction than any other looper of
its type—hands down.
