fretplay Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I was thinking of getting a Ditto Looper, has any member got one and can advise me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have the smaller one, (one button) and the x2 (2 button) Now I know they have updated and have other features / models now. but I'm still using the older ones from a few years back. My only advice with what I have. Don't do the single button model.. It is a pain in the butt to use. Have to double tap to stop the loop, it's a very small pedal, I found it a bit too easy to fumble my way into wanting to throw it out the window. The x2 worked much better for me and takes batteries, smaller one does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtim Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I had the x2 as well. It was fun for creating things. I would not hesitate on getting another one. Go for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Personally I would tend to recommend the BOSS DD-7 over the single button Ditto because the DD-7 has similar looping capabilities in addition to being a fantastic delay pedal With that said I gave my little brother the single button Ditto and it is his most used pedal. He loves it. The x2 is even better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have the single and its fine for trying things out for soloing to and I use it when I've written a song to play back the rhythm, sing along to it and record on phone to message to the band to see what they think. I don't think it would be suitable for live gigs as bit hard to remember where you are for tapping on the fly (certainly for us amateurs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretplay Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Thanks for your help guys. A couple of questions please Can you use it for vocals? I have a looper on Cubase are there advantages on the Ditto to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a looper on Cubase are there advantages on the Ditto to it? The regular Ditto has one high impedance input so it’s not designed to be used with a mic. If you have a hi z mic or an adapter and don’t mind unplugging the guitar and plugging in the mic then it could be used There is a Ditto made specifically for mics The advantage of the Ditto is basically that it can be used without a computer and has a footswitch to punch in and out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 I got the smaller one Button one also. It's a fun novelty thing to mess around with but I'm not interested in doing the Sheerhan thing. So I don't play with it much.. What I did get & like is the Digitech Trio Band Creator... Adds Bass and Drums to whatever Guitar Piece I'm playing... For me that's a more usable FX Box... I'm going to try rehearsing songs with it for a Solo Gig I'm going to play.. I'm curious if it will do a good job or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm do sure how you would do an entire song with it if there were more than 3 or 4 chords, how would you do a Beatles song for instance? I would be interested to know how you get on Lars,let me know!

Dub-T-123 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 The ones with built in drums and instruments sound like... a pedal with built in drums and instruments. I’d be embarrassed to do that live personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I've had both the small and 2X Ditto. What I liked about the 2X was I could set up bass on one side of it (to a separate amp) and get a cool bass loop going. Then I could just freak out over that with fuzz and echo and sh!t. It's fun. That said I got bored with it. Lemme know if you wanna buy it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
