Pigtronix didn’t pull any punches with the marketing of the Infinity Looper. Promising revolutionary new features for live musicians and a looper which doesn’t interfere with your tone, it generated much anticipation from the looping community. Although most guitarists assume these claims are about as reliable as political promises on the run-up to an election, the Infinity might actually be able to back it up. It was finally released in November 2012, and it just might give the bigger manufacturers like Boss and Digitech a run for their money. Check Amazon Price

Akai E2 Headrush Delay/Looper Review
The Akai E2 Headrush Delay/Looper pedal promised to take off where it’s fairly successful predecessor (E1) had left. With the E2 Headrush, users were promised better headroom, more looping time and a solution to the noise problems with the E1. The result is a relatively inexpensive and robust looper that works well for both live performances and home use, but also lacks many of the bells and whistles of the newer loopers on the market today.

Vox Lil’ Looper Review
Vox’s entry into the looper market in 2012 is a welcome change from the ongoing battle between Boss and Digitech. The Vox Looper steps in a different direction by dispensing with unneeded hours of recording time, keeping their loops at a maximum of 90 seconds, and instead building multi-effects options into their new loopers. The Vox Lil’ Looper allows you to continuously loop a piece of music, while adding variations in the sound using different effects that would otherwise have to be purchased as separate effects pedals.

Vox Dynamic Looper Review
The VOX VDL1 Looper Multi-Effects Pedal is a powerful combination of both a looper and a multi-effects pedal. This combination allows musicians to not only loop a section of music, but to also add a variety of different sounds and effects such as bass and acoustic guitar simulation, compression, distortion, wah, and others. While not everyone will want or need these built in effects, others will love the convenience of an all-in-one pedal. Check Amazon Price
Boss RC-300 Loop Station Review
The Boss RC-300 Loop Station is the new “flagship” looper from Boss. Being hailed as the second coming before it was even released, the Boss RC-300 has a lot to live up to. Not only was it’s predecessor, the RC-50 Loop Station, loaded with features, Digitech’s competing looper pedal, the JamMan Delay, is similarly large and loaded with cool features. With such stiff competition, the RC-300 Loop Station has to deliver something very special to stand out from the crowd. Check Amazon Price
ZVEX Lo Fi Loop Junky Review
The ZVEX Lo-Fi Loop Junky is the antithesis to the modern digital looper pedal. It’s all analog, without analog to digital conversion of any kind. It also samples for only 20 seconds, and everything you record into it will sound totally different coming out. But, what’s really cool is that It features lots of hiss, noise, distortion, and other analog artifacts. It’s even capable of making your little guitar loop sound like an old, scratched, warped record! Check Amazon Price
Boss RC-3 Loop Station Review
Boss released the RC-3 Loop Station in 2011 to replace the older Boss RC-2 Loop Station. Both pedals have now been superseded by the more recently released Boss RC-5 Loop Station as Boss’s top-o-the-line compact looper. Nevertheless, the Boss RC-3 Loop Station is still a powerful looper. You can also probably find it at a significant discount now that it’s an older model. , The RC-3 gives musicians up to 3 hours of stereo recording time and 99 loop memory locations.

Boss RC-30 Loop Station Review
In 2011, Boss updated it’s line of looper pedals by releasing the RC-3 Loop Station, the RC-30 Loop Station (reviewed here), and the RC-300 Loop Station. The RC-30 Loop Station is Boss’s updated twin pedal and the mid-sized option of the three. It’s a multitrack looper with two synchronized stereo tracks and built-in loop effects, and hours of recording time. Overall, Boss offers several improvements over Boss’s older twin pedal, the Boss RC-20XL. More recently, however, Boss has released the Boss RC-500 Loop Station which is now Boss’s flagship looper.Check Amazon Price
Electro-Harmonix 2880 Super Multi-Track Looper Review
The 2880’s instantly recognisable layout provides you a degree of familiarity, and even if you have never used a multi-track recorder before, the reason it’s layout is used so widely is because it’s so simple. It’s got an impressive resume too, it gives you CD-quality sound, in stereo or mono, lets you connect up to your computer to store loops, and will even help you keep your loops in time if you want it to.

Line 6 JM4 Review
Line-6, whose amps are favoured by such guitarists as James Hetfield, Mick Thomson and Tony Iommi, present us with their prized looping machine, the JM4. Offering an onboard 24-minutes recording time, with the possibility of increasing this with an up to 2GB SD card, the JM4 could give you around six and a half hours of recorded jamming.

The JamMan Delay Looper features both true stereo looping and a fully programmable stereo delay with powerful control over both effects.

Digitech JamMan Stereo Review
After amazing success with the original JamMan, Digitech improved upon it and unleashed three brand new loopers: the Jamman Solo, the Jamman Stereo (reviewed here), and the Jamman Delay. The JamMan Stereo is the mid-sized version, the one Goldilocks would have chosen. The question is whether being in the middle really does make it ‘juuust right.’ Users of the original JamMan will be right at home with the layout of the Jamman Stereo. There are a couple of extra footswitches, but apart from that, there won’t be any teething problems.Check Amazon Price
