Might get one of these TC Ditto's at some point, great for practicing at home.

And speaking of which...
Looking at the diagrams you posted earlier, let me see if I get this: In order to "stop and then restart your loops" you would have to Stop (press twice) and then Play (press once)
...right?
If so that would limit the value of that particular capability for me, since the only time I need to stop and then restart my loops are when I want to play a fragment of a longer loop several times in succession before allowing the whole thing to play out in its entirety. That would appear to require some really quick toe-tapping with the Ditto.
I'll probably get one regardless.

Just trying to get a handle on whether the limitations would be frustrating/annoying, or simply an asset that helped define how best to use the pedal. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Burbank, Ca | | | I might be interested in checking one of these out. Having a dedicated looper would be awesome. Currently using the flashback as well, which I dont really enjoy as a looper. I feel as though theres a lot of signal degradation when I switch to loop mode. not to mention the footswitch is horrible on the flashback imo. + being able to have my delays in my loop would be great |

Okay, so back to jonesing for a Ditto! |

Any release date set? |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Copenhagen | | | Now that there are some comparisons with Boss loopers going on, I think it should be added that the ditto is true bypass, which IMO gives it a HUGE advantage over Boss. I have the RC-2 and have used the RC-3 and find both to be terrible tonesuckers with a rather poor recording quality. I can't tell if the larger Boss units are as bad as the small ones, but I believe (judging from my Flashback) that the Ditto will actually have a decent sound - apart from keeping the tone alive. |
