MOOER GL100 Looper Pedal Drum Machine, 2 in 1 Drum Looper Guitar Pedal 1.3-inch Touchsreen 100 Slots with 300 Minutes in Total Auto-record Time Stretch Function Dedicated Editor Software

This is my second looper, an upgrade from the lekato one with 3 memory banks and auto sync. I'm not the most advanced player and I don't play live, I use them for scales practice and messing around with layering parts. This looper goes for a little more than twice the price of the lekato, and I'd actually say that's pretty fair value for the money. It shares common features with other loopers at around this price point (stereo/mixed/seperate out, tap tempo, autosync, count-in etc), missing some (no midi, no ext. pedal input) but adding some unique others (adjustable threshold auto sync, automatic quantizing, the auto drum matching). It took me a little while to learn the controls, but ultimately they seem pretty intuitive. The touch screen is fairly useful, though I thought it was a little gimmicky at first. It can display quite a bit of information but can be a little hard to see/press quickly. The buttons are useful and well placed. As a "standard" looper, this device is solid, but all in all I think this requires some firmware tweaking to really realize the full value of it's more advanced features and iron out some annoying things. Firstly, the drum match is pretty hit or miss. Sometimes it does a good job of identifying the tempo and applying a drum loop, but most times it requires some adjustment. The adjustments range from "it's in the ballpark" to "this ballpark is enormous", so I've found a lot of times its better just to do it yourself. Thankfully the drums are adjusted separately from the loop, so making those adjustments is pretty easy. Secondly, if you mess up your first loop you need to delete the whole memory bank to get rid of it and this means having to enter your bpm again as it defaults to the bpm in the main drum menu. And third...perhaps the most annoying...when you dub a layer, you can undo it by long pressing the play switch. But if you want to undo the next layer down in the loop, you can't...long pressing again performs a "redo" of the dub you just "undid". This means that you need to be sure that you like/want all previous layers before dubbing another one, because if something doesn't work, you can't just change it once you record another dub on top, you have to delete the whole loop and start over. The good thing is that all these issues can be solved if Mooer issues some good updates, maybe repurposes one of the buttons/switches in certain contexts, or utilizes the functionality that the touch screen offers a little better, but of course that doesn't mean they will. The only other issue I can see arising is that the enclosure is all plastic. It doesn't feel cheap, and for my purposes I don't see it ever failing in terms of durability (so long as the switches stay solid) but I can see that being a bit of a deal breaker if you beat the brakes off your gear in a live context or whatever. As a creative/practice tool it offers plenty of drum loops to fit whatever you want to play, and most are actually pretty usable. The sound quality is good. 100 memory banks is great. The automatic quantizing does a great job at erasing some mistimed stops, and in combo with the autosync really seems to smooth over the most annoying thing about loopers in general: stopping and starting in time. It's small compared to a lot of the other double switch loopers on the market, and isn't super power hungry either. If you can deal with the issues (or if updates improve them), I think this thing is a great device and I've had a lot of fun with it so far. I'm rating it 5 stars only because I hope that the annoying issues that exist within it's programming will be fixed soon. The drum match is pretty ambitious, so I expect some kinks there, but the inability to undo multiple layers of a loop is silly. If I could do 4.5 I would because I think its that close to being perfect for me, regardless of it's annoyances. But yeah, solid little pedal.

As far as the looper itself it's really nice. It has a function to help keep your rhythm and riffs in time. Many different beats to choose from. Not great at recording vocals but not sure that's what this thing is for. But it will record your vocals you just can't equalize it. Any guitar sounds good through the device. If you hook a mic up to the device you can record other instruments that don't have a quarter inch Jack. Which is nice. If there's anything I don't like about it it's the software for the computer to be able to edit loops and add your own drum beats to the device. Although I'm not very tech savvy. I wish there was videos showing how to work that I can't get it to work. But other than that the looper is awesome.

This is an awesome looper and has quickly become one of my favorite pedals. The drum sounds are surprisingly good and make practicing and jamming a lot more fun. It’s very easy to use, even without digging deep into the manual. I love having so many open slots to record different loops, and the fact that they save automatically is a huge plus. Being able to plug my guitar into one input and my bass into another, then send them to separate amps, is incredibly convenient. Overall, this looper offers excellent value for the money and I would highly recommend it.

BUY IT. I definitely recommend this product. I never leave feedback on purchases but I feel that it is my duty as a guitar player because this thing rocks so hard. I spent a lot of time researching loopers with drum machines, with a strong focus on the quality of the drum machine. Some reasons to buy this pedal are because it... - has almost twice as many drum beats as all other combo looper/drum machine pedals (220 total), with 20 grooves per genre - Heavy Metal and Punk genres are my favorites :) - doesn't restrict the length of your recording per track (300 minutes total). - has this cool "progress bar/ring" feature that works its way around the display as you progress through the loop so you know when it will restart. - The record/replay/overdub process is ergonomic. - The "Standby record" works great (you press record and it waits for you to start playing to actually record) - It's quantize function works great, meaning that it will trim your loop so they match the exact amount of beats to allow the loop to mesh with itself or the following file. - While replaying a file, you can use the foot switches to select the next recording you want to play, and it will automatically play the file once the loop you are currently using ends. I love this feature! I don't know if all loopers work like this or not, but this is great because it allows you to save different files for every segment of a song and then play the song from beginning to end without any disruption between segments. - it comes with a power supply. Some of the drawbacks are: - There are not many 3/4 or 6/8 grooves. Like literally 1 of each per genre. Basically everything is 4/4. - The "Auto-Drum beat" is kinda lame. The beats it picks are hit-or-miss, although a firmware update may improve this feature. - The housing is plastic, although it does still feel pretty tough. - If you are recording with a drum beat and screw up the take, you have the reset the BPM of the drum beat before you can record another take. This is a pain because you have to bend over and push a couple buttons with you fingers. However, if you are ok with just winging it and you are not trying to be super-precise with the BPM then you can use the foot-switches to setup a 'tap tempo' to reset the tempo to avoid this problem. There you have. I recommend it.

The Mooer GL200 is a useful unit for the price. The input and output flexibility is very useful. There are some useful drum loops and via a USB cable it is possible to interface the unit with a PC, enabling custom drum loops to be installed on the device. The PC interface is clean and user-friendly. My only concern is that occasionally the output from the unit seems to fade momentarily. I’ve used several different characters and input.s so my assumption is that this is coming from the device itself.

Buena calidad y funcionalidad, pero tienes que ser muy exacto a la hora de hacer el loop !! Sus sonidos de batería buenos para la práctica .

Been having a lot of fun with this. The drums and loop mix really well, and the fact that it's stereo in and stereo out is top notch. Good amount of drum styles and variations, synching is really easy with this pedal.

Great product well worth the money

great product -recommended - however once again courier was a day later than i was told it would be delivered - second time in as many orders- perhaps they should change couriers?

Easier then it looks and fun to work with, very light(all plastic)
