This Looper Packs Loads of Effects!

More than a typical looper pedal, the Vox VDL1 Dynamic Looper pedal gives you a complete tone workshop you can use to create, play, and control loops in real time. The VDL1 Dynamic Looper comes loaded with quality effects and armed with the tools you need in order to record and play with loops live. Unlike most looper pedals, the Vox VDL1 Dynamic Looper gives you two independent loops. Intuitive foot controls make recording and playing loops simple. Using the Loop Quantize function, you can lay down specific beat-length loops.

Thanks to the VDL1 Dynamic Looper's sound-on-sound recording functions, you can add infinite layers to each loop. If you make a mistake, a simple undo functions erases the bad pass. The VDL1 Dynamic Looper also features 11 Pre Effects, including bass and acoustic guitar simulations that you can use while recording loops. An additional 11 Loop Effects let you dramatically transform your loops during playback. A microphone input also lets you loop other sound sources, including vocals and acoustic instruments. Three stop modes, including clean, delay, and fade, make coming out of loops smooth.

Good Value

I chose the Vox VDL1 because I loved the looper and expression pedal combination - the boss RC300 is the only other system that I know of with this combination and it costs about $300 more. I can't co... read more [+]mpare the VDL1 directly to the RC300 but my impression is that the Vox is a good value. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and I'm still enjoying it and finding new features.

It really is pretty packed with effects and options. The expression pedal is a really nice addition. I don't know if the auto-start function is standard on most pedals but it is also a nice touch - it automatically starts recording when you start playing so that you don't have to time the pedal just right.

In response to some of the other criticisms, I think it is well-built and the controls, although complicated (because of all the features), are pretty manageable. When I used it with my digital modeling amp I did get more noise than I would have liked, but by bypassing my modeling head and just using the cabinet, the signal noise is eliminated and the Vox puts out some pretty good tones. My only complaint is a little disappointment in the bass guitar modeling. This was a feature that I thought could be really nice but the effect just isn't that good (perhaps my expectations were too high as I've never tried this effect on other processors). Other than that, I'm very satisfied though. It's a well-designed and versatile system. close [-]
