PERFORMANCE

SHAPE OF YOU

SHEERAN LOOPER WORKFLOW

Intuitive Track and Waveform performance views combined with heads-up LED feedback put Ed’s stadium looper technology right at your feet. Looper X goes a step further offering personal customizations to looper modes and pedal assignments to make Looper X your own.

ERGONOMIC PEDAL
SURFACE

Inspired by Ed’s fast-paced and energetic performances, Looper X’s ergonomically designed pedal surface is built to be played like an instrument as part of your performance.

TOUCH SCREEN
NAVIGATION

Looper X’s intuitive and responsive 7” touch display is your mission control - making it quick and easy to navigate its extensive feature set. The large navigation wheel with center push function makes it simple to dial in parameters, while tactile input gain and output volume controls offer fast and easy setup for any musical situation.

STADIUM GRADE
HARDWARE

Looper X features Ed’s stadium stage signature foot pedals with titanium grey satin finish. These precision-engineered pedals are cast from automotive-grade aluminum and mounted to a rugged matte black powder coated steel chassis for ultimate durability. Looper X’s pedals and side panels feature a beautifully contoured design inspired by Ed’s very own Sheeran by Lowden™ guitar range.

EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL

For Looper X we wanted to build the most intuitive user interface we possibly could.

The optimally pitched 15° pedal surface provides instant access to your transport and track controls. Pressing and/or holding the Mode and Function pedals enable you to quickly access track, waveform and mixer views, switch looper modes, mute and solo tracks, fade loops in and out, as well as instantly manipulate the playback direction, loop length, speed, and pitch in real time. Just like a DAW, you can also quickly bounce individual or multiple tracks on-the-fly.

LOOPING WITHOUT LIMITS

Looper X can record up to four stereo looper tracks in a single session with no maximum loop lengths. You can save over seven hours of audio to internal storage or expand to a virtually unlimited amount of storage by connecting external USB or SD drives.

Looper X offers powerful algorithmic features such as tap tempo with intelligent time-stretch, automatic tempo detection of your naturally played loops, plus the ability to quantize a loop’s end points to help keep everything in sync. You can also import loops (.wav or .mp3) to a track and automatically match the current loop tempo.

Looper X also features control via external MIDI devices, as well as a customizable pedal menu to allow you to completely personalize and adapt Looper X to your perfect workflow.

CREATIVE LOOPER MODES

Looper X offers a range of looper modes to complement your looping style for just about any musical situation. From Ed’s powerful Multi-Track mode to the endless possibilities of multiplying and dividing loops on demand. You can create advanced song arrangements and even turn Looper X into 4 separate loop pedals all using the instinctive pedal interface.
