You can buy this pedal here:
US: amzn.to/3sVaLG2
Snark 9 Volt Power Supply
amzn.to/3sHSv4Z
Excuse my ignorance but what type of 9 volt adapter do I use for this since it has 300ma listed? Can it be plugged directly into the wall or do I need to buy an isolated pedalboard power supply? I know nothing about any of this since I’m just beginning to learn electric guitar.
@@MsAppassionata you will need a 9 volt adaptor. Rated at 300ma or higher. Negative center pin polarity. I will link a adapter in the pinned comment.
I am going to enjoy using that pedal great job
After watching several videos on this pedal yours was the best, and your playing covers many styles which went well with demonstration of the drum patterns, great job! And BTW, great tone in your playing!
Hey! Thank you. It is a pretty cool pedal.
Thank you! I’ve had this thing for a while and honestly been too intimidated to try the damn thing. This really helped.
Awesome, good to hear. It's a pretty cool pedal.
I just got mine. Pretty awesome!
Hey you say sunk like I do.
This is highly entertaining
Thanks Paul.
Can you add a battery pack power supply to it?
If it's a battery pack to power pedals, probably. It's been a while, I don't remember this pedals voltage. I think I say in the video.
FYI for anyone with a regular 9v adapter, you can make it a negative center pin by cutting the wires and splicing them back together switched around
Q: i spot a usb port. Just for computer hook up or for charging as well?
Computer, but I heard the software for it is bad and can brick the pedal.
Software for Windows doesnt work. Any solution?
No idea, I haven't messed with the software in years.
How did you power it off? Unplug it?
Yeah, no power switch
I just bought one of these. Such a great pedal for the price.
It's pretty cool
👍🤟🎸
🙏🙂🎸
You're having to much fun 😂
love how comfortable you are in your world
Me too 🤣
underrated youtuber...
Hey Mattie 🙂👍
Hi nice vidéo,you say à boss pedal will work ,are you referring to the Boss psa,because that one is 500ma,won't it be to powerfull for this pedal?
You want the ma on the power supply to be the same or higher. The voltage it what needs to be the same.
Yes, I meant Boss power supply.
Love the laughs
I just ordered this pedal and it's on its way but I needed to see more folks figuring it out for me. Thanks so much, very helpful.
You're Welcome!
yeah me too, i hope they make videos, I'm not one who like to read the instruction manual plus my eyesite isn't that great so a video is perfect for me :)
Do I have to use this pedal with power supply or DC adaptor with 9V enough work in order to safety , I couldn't find any 300ma 9V adaptor is it OK with standart BOSS adaptors like 9V with 200ma
You should get a adapter 300ma or higher.
a perfect video for the day!
Hey Trigo, thanks!
You love this looper like I do, lol. Great demo! I just got this thing and it’s a game-changer in looper simplicity and common sense design.
Thanks man! Yeah it's a cool pedal.
Great vid!
Thanks Chris!
This is the best looper/beat pedal review I have seen.
Thank You for making it so simple!
Subscribed!
Hey, thank you Andrew!
Just ordered one for my nephew. Might have to order one for me.
You answered all my questions i had. Changing drum styles under the loop.- great. Now how to buy in japan ( cheaply..?)
lol, I don't know if I can help you with that. Amazon Japan?
Thank you for this, great demo of how the pedal works
Hey, thank you Bill.
Hi, do you know if there is a way to add drum fills in spots? Thanks
Hey John, I am not sure. I like the pedal but I don't use a pedalboard. So the pedal has been in storage since the video.
I don't think there is. If there was a way to manually insert drum fills that would make it the perfect pedal for me. Seems a whole lot easier to use than any of the Boss offerings.
Well thought out
Thanks Darrell
If I record a clean tone to loop then change the amp to a distorted tone (or any other effect or tone), the loop then goes from clean tone to distorted max. I want to keep the loop clean. Is there a way I can do this? Basically, I want to have the clean loop playing while I jam over it with a distorted tone.
The distortion source has to be in front of the pedal. With a amp, the pedal should go in the effects loop. In this video, my clean and distortion sounds are before the pedal.
Didn't know you were this fun to watch
Thanks Virgil 😁
Great proof here in a spontaneous way. This Donner could be the tool some of us need to LOOP. 💫
It's a good looper. I'm keeping it. And I don't use pedals.
Hi can you send the guitar loop to one output and the drums to the other? Thx
I don't remember for sure. The pedal is put away in storage. I THINK you can pan ... I don't remember though.
@@HankCoffey thanks for getting right back. You haven’t been using it much then?
@@Arthur_My_Dear no, I've never used pedals. Nor do I have a pedal board... This is the only pedal I own right now. It is awesome. But my guitar equipment is in a rolling rack. I have nowhere to permanently put it right now.
Does it go between the guitar and the amp? If so then how do you setup so that the drums don’t get applied the amp effects (distortion…) ?
Hi, you would have to put the pedal in the "Effects Loop" of the amplifier. If there is no effects loop on the amp, you have to go through the amps preamp.
@@HankCoffey gotcha. Thanks
I’m curious to know how easy/difficult it would be to switch memory on the fly with this device - in order to get a few looped patterns in a live performance. Any thoughts?
It stores loops in numbered slots... you can switch it to a empty loop slot and start a new one... switch back n forth. All of the loops I made in this video are still in the pedal.
@@HankCoffey do you know if it is possible to switch memory slots with the foot switches or do you have to that with just the knob on the top left - by hand
@@DanielMaat I don't have the pedal with me. It's in storage. You probably have to turn knob. But I'm not sure.
@@DanielMaat You can add an external 3-button control switch that will go through the loops by stepping on the switches to go up or down.
Gotta get one!
Thanks for the demo. When in metronome mode, does it default record to 4/4 or will it round to the nearest beat when you stop recording? For example, if the riff is in 7/4, will it play a 7 count phrase?
Hey Jason, I don't remember exactly. I think it is set up where you select the time signature. I don't remember if 7/4 is in there. The pedal is in storage, so I am unable to look for you.
Great examples of Loop creations and how they can be created with this pedal!
Hey, thanks Nazmo!
@@HankCoffey You bet Hank. I showed the video to my girlfriend last night and told her I have one of these being delivered and even SHE was entertained by your ad hoc song creations - we loved it. Told her I'll be doing the same here shortly when the pedal arrives!
@@nazmoking3171 cool man, have fun jamming!
great sounding drums ..beat buddy is too expensive ...this is great
Great video, very informative.
Thanks Jeff!
I finally ordered one of these. They were sold out for the longest time and overpriced in some outlets. Got mine for a mere $79 (15% off coupon helped👍), so I'm happy to get this for the cost of their smaller Triple Looper. That is the same as this pedal minus the drum machine.
Can you do separate verse, chorus, bridge?
You would have to reach down and change the part. I think you can control this with a additional footswitch. Make the 3 loops, and switch between them.
For the money, I dare say the drums sound just as good as the Beat Buddy, at least the Beat Buddy Mini 2. The only patterns I'm not too thrilled with are the disco patterns. Rather the sounds, not the actual patterns. Took a while to get used to the sync feature, and I personally feel the tap tempo is unnecessary with the dial in tempo already included. I got this pedal for that feature because I hated the tap tempo on my Boss RC3. Also, the downloadable loop manager only stores the recorded loop without the rhythm pattern, so if you somehow accidentally change the pattern and tempo on a loop, you have to do some fishing to match the tempo back. Still an overall great product for the money!
Yeah, I don't even use pedals and I'm keeping it. So it's pretty good.
Paraphrased comment by Mark Plimsoll: DO NOT USE WITH WINDOWS 10!!! Windows will "Brick" the Donner Looper. Looper software an absolute nightmare. My Circle Looper is now full of UN-DELETABLE, inaccessible, "Imported" loops with only two slots available for creating loops!!
I hope that this pedal is better than the Boss RC-2....I have an older Boss RC-2 and what I experience In short if you dont have time read t the first sentence::: no metronome intro to introduce tempo and with the boss Rc-2 when it comes to errors mostly you end up with an unwanted second fill or a mistake you made that you cant undo and you also have trouble saving as second loop by use of the foot switch even when you are just jamming on top of a sample... when you dont want to save one...you must save it first and then play it back with properly selected rotary switch setting that you have to bend up and down to see and select properly. IF you are interested then read on..
1)problems While trying to sample: The drum machine is not present when trying to lay down your first rhythm which can make you out of tempo... their is no intro metronome click so its up to you to count down and step on the pedal on time
2) when layering and adding to the rhythm it can get messy because although their is an LED light change from green to red too yellow for the second rhythm or fill you ad you can be messed up by your own foot coordination of just when you want to put the fill and cut out the first part of the note And while working with the pedal you can not "undo" a second track that you put down so the whole recording becomes something with a repeating mistake in the loop....
3)also in the process of using your sample just to jam with some lead or a fill that want to put over a nicely layered sample with the drums and everything working with just the way that you want it..when you step on the pedal it will go from red to green or yellow when trying to stop the recording of the next fill or idea and still mess up the entire sample which have to erase.... I haven't tried to just to let it continue to sample when the led is in yellow mode for the second lick or fill and wait to save it or add it and you should be able to do this with your foot.... but it can all come down like a house of cards as soon as you make any one of these mistakes playing in your foot coordination trying to achieve what they tell you about how the pedal operates.. you will get the yellow LED when you just want to quit and save the sample.... it gets frustrating just trying to put down one rhythm track and one lead....
4) When saving you can act select the sample that you saved through a rotary switch on the correct setting that you saved it on which also requires bending down to get to that rotary switch... but you can accidentally change the drums to that saved sample in the background also as I recall.... very confusing pedal for me...
This Donner Looper seems to have a metronome type intro and plays the drums in the background while putting down the sample which is something that I am either not getting right about the metro intro and drums working while putting down your sample on my Boss RC-2.
I have no idea Robert. I just turn knobs on stuff. I didn't even read the manual first. When the drums are linked with the looper, the pedal starts the loop in time with the drums. I should have figured out the undo/redo... that is real useful if you mess up.
thank you so much for making this video, I bought this pedal before i seen your video, and I wasn't sure if i bought the right thing. Now that I seen your video, I know i made the right choice, now I just need to search for a walk through on recording my own loops and I also need to find out how to connect it to my macbook OSX so i can transfer tracks to the pedal, any info is much appreciated and I apologize for not find your video sooner and using your link to purchse this, I apologize about that, Gonna sub to your channel so i can bug you in th future about other gear, if you don't mind :) thanks! oh by the way this is the best pedal for the price, i had the Boss RC-10, and I will never spen another dollar on Boss products, first one that i got the USB port was fried, right out of the box, then they sent a replacement and garanteed that it would work, same P.O.S. this time it stayed on reformatting, and i didn't even hit that option, i just got my Donner, I still have to learn how to use it, but seem pretty easy, and I know for sure and i bet my life that this pedal is way better than those high dollar loopers that have poor sounding drums like the rc-10 and this pedal i caid almost 400 dollars, and they never worked right out of the box. but the Donner right out of the box I haven't made a loop yet, hear the drums and dried out those nobs and settings and the drums sound freaking awesome, so this video confirmed that i made the correct purchase, thanks again for this video, a more in depth on how to record loops and transfer files back and furth to the computer would be great and what software do i need for the Donner or where can i download it for macbook running OSX, thanks
Hi, I haven't connected this pedal to a computer. But some people are saying that the software doesn't work properly. And you can ruin the pedal's storage slots when messing with the software. I don't know anything about this. So be careful.
Another good video brother
Yo! Thanks man.
Hi Hank
It's Friday 23rd April and it has been very warm in my part of England all week, but luckily not too hot or horribly humid.
Have you had an ok week?
Just remembered... has that record that you were working hard on earlier this year for someone else near to being published yet?
Take care Hank
😀💚🐕🐻🎼🎸🎹🔊🍻🍩
Hey JohnJohn, I stopped mixing that band's songs. The tracks were just too rough and it was real time consuming. I requested more money, They don't want to pay it I guess. Good. They can try to find someone else that will mix that mess. I did a test live yesterday on Twitch, just testing out guests. I had Gonzalo and Michael on. It works, but I have to use my older camera. It's doesn't look as good... and no green screen. You can check it out if you want. www.twitch.tv/videos/995458696
Just scan forward to Gonzalo and Michael... or whatever.
I wanted to go live today, but I am not playing well enough right now. I don't have tracks ready. I can do a talk stream with guests, but it takes a while to get people to come in there.
Good vid here from Hank. My only gripe is that I'm new to pedals and recently bought a Donner min looper. Like Hank, as a looper it's pretty good. But it's the same functionality issue when attempting to transfer your loops to a PC or laptop. Even if you download the software and try get you stuff, it just doesn't work. Donner seem to have abandoned that part of the deal, so for me, I'm out. If anyone figures out a work around I'd be happy to hear it.
Hey, thank you man.
Damn!!,..🤪what is it with people demoing Loopers with No Bass included in the loops!!?? The “groove” stands out more and the Drum feature shines!!😃🤨🙄😕Future Looper buyers PLEASE realize this‼️..when you begin to “get down” with ya’ new toy huh‼️ 🙄✨🎛️🎸f-_-!) Geez!
You have a refreshing and spontaneous way of making demonstration videos Hank, by far the best way I think. Your personality shines through 🌟
But, are their pedals durable enough to withstand bear paws?😱🐻🍩😀
Cheers Hank
💚🐕🎼🎸🎹🔊🍻
Hey JaaanJaaan! Thank you man. The pedal is pretty heavy steel. I would imagine if the knobs were stomped on enough, they might break. The casing and switches are solid though.
I've been working lately, I hope you are doing well my friend. 🙂👍🐻🍩😎🎸🎵🤠🍩🍩🍩
@@HankCoffey
All good my end Hank 😁
The drums sounded surprisingly good however I’d would have rather had more patterns than styles. They could at least replace hip hop with country as a genre. There isn’t much guitar in hip-hop. I had a similar product from digitech that would also add bass although this is not only less expensive but you can add your own bass with as bass or an octave effect.
YES!!! Circle Looper's beats per minute sync "close enough" so we can easily hit the looper button and the loop "quantizes" or stops on the bar, or close enough it does NOT hiccup and get further off with each loop cycle (on some Beat Buddy beats ONLY, because Beat Buddy beats get recorded with human drummers, so they too are not as accurate as digital. Who cares? Record the Beat Buddy into the loop! TAKE NOTES OF CIRCLE LOOPER DRUM AND TEMPO for your loops, in case you need to recreate, or move slots. Seems circle looper's software handles the metadat about its beats and tempo, so write things down to edit .WAV loops in Audacity for loundess, EQ, etc. and import new WAV files into the clooper. Circke Looper uses 24 bit, and Boss RC-3 uses 16 bit, so pay attention when you edit/export/save/create the file in Audacity, for example. I love my Circle Looper! I did cover the looper button with a cap to avoid mistakenly hitting it during a step to Stop, which avoids going into Record mode and polluting your backup loop.
Makes practicing much more of a musical experience instead of squeeking to the beat of a simple metronome...
