Using the Looper

8•2

To follow are descriptions of the functions shown in the Looper screen.

UNDO -

Use the 

Bank Up

 FBV footswitch to “undo” the last recorded overdub. 

You can press this footswitch while actively in Overdub-Record mode, Loop 

Playback mode, or while stopped and only the last recorded overdub is erased. 

This function will not erase the originally recorded Loop. 

PLAY ONCE -

Pressing the FBV footswitch plays your recorded Loop (including overdubs, 

if you’ve recorded any) for one cycle. Cool for triggering a pre-recorded phrase on demand! 

• 

While playback is active, the Play/Stop icon appears as “STOP,” to indicate 

that it can be pressed to stop playback immediately.

PRE/POST - 

The Looper Block can be moved to either a “Pre” or “Post” position within 

the Signal Flow View, which dictates whether Amp & FX processing is added to your 

guitar signal during the recording of your Loop, or only for the Loop’s playback.

• 

PRE:

 Your guitar signal is recorded unprocessed (i.e. - the Loop is recorded “pre” 

Amp & FX processing). When played back, the Loop audio is mixed with incoming 

guitar to feed the current Preset’s Amp & FX processing. If you change Presets or 

tone settings while set to 

PRE

, you’ll hear them applied to your Loop playback.  

• 

When the Looper is set to 

PRE

, the Pre/Post icon appears as “POST,” 

to indicate that the Looper Block can be moved to the “POST” 

position.

• 

POST:

 Your guitar signal is recorded processed (i.e. - the Loop is recorded “post” 

Amp & FX processing). When played back, the Loop audio is mixed with incoming 

guitar AFTER the guitar signal has been processed through the Amp and FX. This 

provides the ability select a new Preset which is applied only on your guitar input, 

while the Loop plays back with the original recorded Preset tone!

• 

When the Looper is set to 

POST

, the Pre/Post icon appears as “PRE,” 

to indicate that the Looper Block can be moved to the “PRE” position.

Note: If you record your Loop in POST mode and then switch to PRE for Loop playback, 
this results in the current Amp+FX to be applied to the Loop playback (where the Loop was 
already recorded with Amp+FX applied). Be aware that this can cause the Loop playback 
to be significantly louder!
