I've been kicking around the idea of building or buying a Looper but don't have a clue on brand or price. I would 'like' a 2 or 3 channel minimum 3 min recording, entry- mid level. I see lots of them for sale on eBay and marketplace ranging from $20s upwards in the hundreds. What should I look for in brand/model, price and performance? If it's used and for sale for a reason. I'm not a pro and never will be!

what do you mean by 2 or 3 channel ? if you mean 2 or 3 recorded loops you can switch between then you are looking at BIG money.
https://www.boss.info/au/products/rc-300/ , thats over $900
https://tinyurl.com/yytb3vk6 this is the one i got simple 1 channel unlimited overdubs and max 5 minutes loop time.
Single channel it is! Thanks
Hey Will, I’ve played around with a bunch of loopers, and it seems to me that the brand name loopers are the way to go, if you plan to make a solid investment? Don’t get me wrong, those $30 chinese loopers work good, but brands like TC electronics, DIgitech, Boss, EHX produce loops that are noticeably higher in sound quality than the cheaper ones. I like cheap too, but if you’re a traveling/recording musician, then make the investment? BTW the Amoon AP-09 Looper is well worth the $30-40 & it’s got 10 min. of loop time. not bad for an entry level looper? Hope I haven’t clouded your mind too much :) I would go to your local music store & demo what they have, also look for the “ditto” by TC electronics, a great mid price looper?
Donner , Moorer both make 10min loop unlimited over dubs for under $50 and some good effects for under $35 steel box
If I understand overdub, that means that you can layer music( add bass, beat, organ, voice, harmony). Is that correct? If so why would I need multiple channels. If I'm wrong please explain. I know nothing about this, but would like to experiment around with it!
yes, add layers. but as others have said each layer uses up memory. so in a 10 minute capable looper you could get 10 ,1 minute layers or 20, 30 second layers or 5, 2 minute layers...
i got the one i did becaus of this
"48K, 24bit lossless, uncompressed and professional tone quality.
Max. 5 minutes recording time, unlimited overdub loop."
some of the 10 minute ones did not specify sample rate and bit depth of the ADC.. ( analog digital convertor) and i think some were 16 bit . More bits = better ... lol
Thanks, I know nothing about these if haven't guessed yet.so the more I hear from everyone the better.
Cadillac? That’s a Rolls Royce! I always wondered what looper you were using? That’s awesome!
Wow! I watched a few videos on using this baby for layering( if that's the term) up the music.
yep thats the $949 one i linked to earlier..lol rolls royce it surely is...
