DITTO X4 LOOPER
TC’s loopers are some of the
best and most uniquely featureladen loopers on the market. The
company’s Ditto and Ditto X2 models
attained instant classic status based
on ease of use, rad tones, and a
uniquely Scandinavian dedication
to highly-functional minimalism.
The new Ditto X4 takes this formula
and maximizes it for the truly loopobsessed pedalboard pilot. It is
outfitted with two separate loop
tracks with dedicated footswitches
and level knobs, and these loops can
be set for serial or sync operation,
which means that they can be set to
go simultaneously or in succession

for different parts of a song. There
is a loop decay knob as well, for
controlling whether the loop runs
indefinitely or fades out gradually,
and dedicated footswitches for stop,
and to kick in the onboard effects.
Speaking of onboard effects, the
Ditto X4 has some very exciting
ones, including fade, double,
reverse, hold, once, and tape stop,
which brings the loop to a lurching,
detuned halt, as if a tape machine
was being abrubtly shut down. Pretty
cool. Stereo innies and outies and
MIDI capability round out the X4’s
feature set. Buy one now!
