Loopers, in our opinion, are a key piece of any musical puzzle. They can initially help with timing, practicing and general tempo issues you might have as a beginner, then move on to become part of your rig and, to some, an absolutely essential part of their signature sound. While there are many looper pedals to choose from out there, today’s is a bit different, but only in the greatest of ways. The Dapper Looper Mini Effects Strip from Valeton is compact, powerful and gives you options that most loopers out there just simply do not.
Just from looking at this red guy, you can tell something unusual is going on here, and you’d be correct. The Dapper Looper gives you access to EIGHT (yes, 8) savable Loop Memories – what’s that mean, you say? You use the footswitches to do all of your recording, as well as scrolling through each of the Presets. Each Loop Memory gives you 30 minutes of recording time, for a grand total of 240 maximum recording minutes!! Not that anyone would ever need that much, but it is very nice to know it’s available.
The Dapper Looper also gives you unlimited overdubs, as well as the Undo/Redo function for a bunch of recording options on the fly. You can even import, export and manage loops with free PC/Mac software via USB. The audio boasts 24-bit 44.1kHz high quality recording/playback, unlimited overdubs and just 180mA current draw. There’s even a switch that lets you choose which direction the presets travel in, forwards or backwards, when you use the Phrase switch to scroll.
Just one of many effects in the Dapper lineup from Valeton, the Looper Mini is compact and full of gusto, making it a standout from most loopers. Not to mention you can grab one for just around $100, which is unheard of for something with this much recording time and this many options. Plus, it will fit on just about any pedalboard you might have, so it is convenient AND an excellent tool to use.
