Any looper reccomendations

[Theonlyway]

I've never owned a loop pedal, and I've been researching a bit. Some I found seem to drop certain sound qualities when engaged. Can anyone recommend a quality loop pedal? Thanks in advance

Like a phrase looper or a true bypass looper to switch FX in/out?

I use the Ditto and I love it.

phrase looper. Apologies.

Yeah just picked up the Ditto - sounds great! It doesn't seem to affect your tone when engaged and the playback sounds very true to the original signal. I compared it to the Digitech Jamman (compact pedal) and it sounded noticeably better. Previously I was using a Line 6 DL4 for looping.

I have two of them (can't stop at just one...). It is tiny and sits unobtrusively on my board. Whenever I get a hankerin' for a loop, there it is. I use it a TON when practicing at home, or when writing.

I appreciate the responses

Ditto Looper by TC Electronic
Very simple and that's what I love about it.

Yea, the ditto rocks. I ended up with a Flashback x4 which has a great looper built-in. The ditto sounds a hair better if I recall, but the x4 comes close.

I highly recommend the Ditto as well because (a) ultra compact and (b) super easy to use. In the past, I've had a Boss RC-3 Loop pedal and found the interface cumbersome. The Ditto is very clean and simple in its design. Plus, it's good enough for Paul Gilbert

Another way to do it is if you have a recording set up that makes it convenient to loop via DAW. Sometimes I do that depending on my workflow. Regardless, can't go wrong with the Ditto IMHO.
