Introduction
“It seems that perfection is attained
not when there is nothing more to add,
but when there is nothing more to remove.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Terre des Hommes (1939)
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of
TC Electronic’s amazing Ditto Looper!
What puts Ditto Looper miles ahead of the looper pack is its
minimalist, no-nonsense approach to looping. This is not a product
that tries to cater to singers, drummers, DJs or experimental Jazz
xylophone players.* TC Electronic designed Ditto Looper with
guitar and bass players in mind.
The result? A looper that is 100% intuitive and takes up virtually
no space on a pedal board.
* Of course, everyone (including experimental Jazz xylophone play-
ers…) is more than welcome to use Ditto Looper! If quality and
simplicity is your thing, you will enjoy this product.
