It sounds bad, and sometimes it’s annoying when the smaller version of the pedal is just the big one but with fewer switches and less functionality, but it does have some benefits. Most of all, it means you can get a different version of the same basic pedal to suit your needs and budget. For every RC-300, there is an RC-3, for every JamMan Delay there is a JamMan Solo, and for every JTC Drum & Loop Pro, there’s a JTC Drum & Loop / NDL-2. So in a sense you know what you’re getting here, but is it worth the money? Check Amazon Price

NUX JTC Drum & Loop Pro Review
Clones are a fact of life in many industries. Where one company comes up with some innovative concept that catches on and brings in a lot of sales, there are always tons of alternatives on the market shortly afterwards, hoping to cash in on the same basic idea. But for the customer, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Fair enough, they might be rushed-out from some corner-cutting factory and fall to pieces on you faster than a hard-shelled taco, but you just might get something just as good for much less money.

NUX Loop Core Deluxe Review
The NUX Loop Core did a good job as a looper, especially considering it was essentially a clone of the Boss RC-3 Loop Station. There were a few sticking points, particularly the sound quality, but overall the Loop Core offered everything you could need from a looper for less money than Boss’s pedal. The people at NUX obviously recognize a good thing when they have it, and so they’ve decided to come out with the Deluxe version of the same pedal, which improves on what the original had to offer and comes with an extra footswitch as standard.

NUX Loop Core Review
The NUX Loop Core is a clone of the Boss RC-3 Loop Station, and is basically just as good. The only reservation I might have is when it comes to quality control in manufacturing and customer support, but I’m just speculating. Honestly, the Loop Core is pretty great. You’ll notice the solid metal body construction, except for the battery compartment which is plastic. Like the Boss RC-3, it has all the essentials that I look for in a looper including a built-in selection of drum patterns, the ability to store multiple phrases, USB connectivity, stereo ins/outs, and the option to add external footswitches.
