The FX switch is also used to switch between half speed and a very cool reverse effect. So, no more need for the “double-tap” stop method that can often mess with your timing. The FX button can be set as a loop stop as well. I think this is mostly due to the second switch that has been added to the Ditto X2. The Ditto is thankfully an easy loop pedal to use.

If setting up a loop is too complicated or takes too long, then I am immediately put off of by the loop pedal. Apart from sound and features, I also always look at a loop pedal's usability, especially if I am going to use the pedal in a live situation. Having a great-sounding, feature-rich loop pedal is one thing, however. For a solo guitarist like myself, being able to have even a simple rhythm guitar section is a huge bonus. This is a great tool to have for writing, especially with the five-minute loop time, but I think is useful for live performance as well.įor someone who regularly plays covers, you can easily save and swap out backtracks to quickly switch through while playing. One great feature of the Ditto is its import/export function.

I did notice a bit of muddiness after about four overdubs, so that might be the realistic limit. This means that you can just keep stacking loops until the end of time. But it is still nice to have and I am sure some guitarists will find a use for it.Įven though I would probably never need it, I do appreciate that the Ditto has a maximum loop time of five minutes as well as infinite overdubs. My loop pedal usually sits at the end of my pedal signal chain making the need for bypass unnecessary. The Ditto also features true bypass and analog through. TC Electronic has improved quite a bit on an already great pedal. TC Electronic has done a great job optimizing the hardware to maximize headroom and 24-bit conversion. The Ditto X2 is a fantastic sounding loop pedal.
