I've had the Clone Looper for a couple weeks now. It's my second looper pedal (first one gave up after many years). The Clone's two-button start/stop make it less likely to make an unwanted change in a live setting. Plays back recorded sounds pretty accurately. Doesn't take up a lot of space. I'm used to hitting it on the beat but would prefer the feature that's on other loopers where that accuracy isn't required. The other Clone features are fun (backwards playback, alter playback speed, etc.). I could see using them in measured doses. I definitely require a looper and the Clone is a solid performer.

This is almost the perfect looper for me. Simple two knob set up, plenty of headroom. I had a Pigtronix Infnity 2 and there just wasn't enough headroom for louder signals, I would get naaasty digital cracks/distortion. The MXR just works with whatever you throw at it.

I upgraded from a single-button looper because the double-tap was tripping me up too much. This is perfect. Being able to start the loop/overdub with one button and stop it with another is huge! If you're using the same loop at various points in a song, being able to seamlessly stop and start it is essential. The Clone Looper allows me to do that. I was concerned that I might unintentionally depress the volume knob (which is also a pushbutton switch) with my foot while operating the buttons, but now that I've been using it for a while, this has not been an issue. It is far enough away from the other buttons. As for the speed and reverse functions, I have not used them, so I cannot provide any feedback on those.

Tried getting into the loop - pun intended- with my Boss VE-8- but didn't like the double tap needed - saw people liked this one for its simplicity and features - I'm still on the learning curve but am confident this was a good choice for me.

I've tried many options and still when I trigger this pedal my other pedals and setups will malfunction :(
My pedalboard hates this pedal and all other pedals I have are all mxr pedals .. grrr!!!!

OK, so my ears are retirement age and have weathered the assault of playing in loud rock bands and other deafening environments (USAF and oilfield), but my loops on this thing sound great to my ears. I bought a used Clone Looper at GC so I could return it easily if I didn't like it. I'm using it to work on original music in the hopes that the jam band I'm in can get back together. A Bongo bass, neck pickup, bass EQ up, highs rolled off through my too-huge pedal board (only using the EQ) sounds amazingly, glowingly warm through the Pignose Hog bass amp I'm using as a practice amp. The playback from the Clone Looper captures all of this glowing warmth beautifully. I'm very impressed.

The new MXR looper fits my needs perfectly for solo acoustic guitar performances. Easy to use and built MXR tough! It even looks cooler than most stomp pedals!

The only way to erase the loop is to hold down a button for several seconds while it continues to make noise. If you hit stop and then try to quietly erase loop the loop starts and plays until it erases- NOT GOOD FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE. I cannot seCe how anyone would buy this and not return it. I was too busy to try it for 45 days so I guess I'm stuck with this useless paperweight. Doubt I will be buying any more Mxr products based on this useless junk box.

Still cannot find a decent simple looper to replace my aging boomerang.

Pedalboard friendly yet still two buttons for added control. Sounds good, plenty of record time. Perfect for practice and ALMOST usable in a live setting.

I recognize it's hard to get all the settings of a large looper in an MXR format, but this oversight will cost them 1.5 stars. It takes WAY too long to clear your loops and makes no sense. You have to hold down the RECORD button for several seconds. Why not double-tap? And why not the Play/Stop button?

If the pedal is off, and you hold Record to reset, it begins playing the loop until cleared. OK, MXR noticed the problem and gave us a second option. You can hold down the volume button for FIVE SECONDS and THEN push the record button. This will clear the loop silently. So you can either clear loudly (over 3 seconds). Or take 6 seconds to clear silently.

So frustrating cause otherwise it suits my needs perfectly.

The undo/redo is not instantaneous. I like to build two layers & bring the second in and out on the downbeat of the start of cycles and can't with the clone looper... as far as I know, and external foot switch wont perform instant undo/redo either. You have to "press and hold" for the function, so you can't time to the downbeat. BUMMER.

My new MXR looper is just what I needed. Is to use and works great.

The MXR Clone Looper is a great, simple loop pedal. I have enjoyed practicing leads expanding riffs. This has become my favorite pedal.

I purchased this pedal from a local retailer. For the first day it was amazing. Pure joy. Then it started to malfunction. Wouldn't record a second loop without crashing and deleting everything I had done prior. Tried to reach out to Dunlop. What a horrific customer service experience. They want all your personal info. Receipts. Everything you could think of. The video requirement is 10 mb. Near impossible to show how a looper can fail and you can't move on untill you upload your video that's to large even when cropped down to the only part you need. Pretty rediculious right? Anyway. I called customer service and am fully ready to take back to the retail store. I'm totally bummed. I had a ditto looper years ago that did a similiar thing after 6 months. Oh it needs a firmware update. O you need to supply power while it's plugged into the computer. Good luck with that little cord they give you. Firmware update install fail. Idk how anyone is getting looper pedals to work. I'm 0-2 for losses flat out. Very depressing. Sorry I left this on Sweetwater but this is a newer pedal and has no forums or any discussion about it despite how I keep seeing ads for how amazing it is. So either no one is having problems but me or it's not cool enough to be talked about despite the promotions and adds. I really hope theres a secret firmware update for it I can't find on the website. I hate pedals with USB so I bought this one. When it broke I opened it cuz Dunlop asks if there's a better. O there's no battery. But you can bet your *** there's a micro USB hiding I'm this thing so when it ***** the bed they will send you down the update rabbit hole. I'm obviously a bitter 30 year old man that either is so stupid he can't figure it out. Or I'm just that unlucky. I guess we won't know till the third attempt. But at this rate I'm gonna have to go boss.

should mention here that initially had an issue...when you want to clear your loop you intuitively just step and hold down the left button..but, to avoid getting a replay of your first second or two of your loop before erasure, you need to step and hold the down the volume knob until the red rec/dub light flashes rapidly..then step and hold the rec/dub button and the loop will clear..this pedal is simple and has great playback tone..

This little looper is easy to use and has some great features. I was surprised by the playability of the reverse feature. I actually use it! All told, it's a great bang for the buck.

While this looper has a lot packed into its small package, it wins on two counts. First it was so easy to learn to use - clearly designed by gigging musicians. Second it sounds amazing compared to other loopers I own. The reverse feature is easy and fun to use, although it can be a little tricky to engage using the center volume button - I hit the stop/play button the first few times. IMO the half speed and double speed features are gimmicks, can't imagine using them in a live performance or in studio for that matter. But the quality and price are right for the core features. Kicking my other loopers to the curb! Good work Dunlop!

Got this pedal the other day, and I'm already putting it through its paces. I'll crank out some simple chords for rhythm, and then play right over it with some not-so-cool-sounding lead notes. I'm trying to learn lead, and I kept hearing that I should record some rhythm and learn to play lead over them; this pedal is going to go a long way towards helping me do that!

The only knock I have on this is that there is only 1 memory bank to record. So if you're not overdubbing, and you want a new rhythm or different chord progression, you'll have to erase what you've got recorded and start over. But still, 4.5 stars for doing exactly what it says it will do. And it's the second MXR on my board (I've got the Carbon Copy for delay), and I'll keep going back to MXR for my pedalicular needs!

Its awesome but it should have the tap tempo built in,instead of needing to buy another control..otherwise its fun!

I LOVE THE PRODUCT and am extremely grateful for how Sweetwater made me feel on my first product purchase. MEGA KUDOS for Codie Priester! Cody took the time to call me directly and let me know he had my order and it was ready to ship. I was shocked and surprised to get this kind of personal touch from the company! On top of that my order even had THANK YOU CANDY! My order arrived in a timely fashion and included ample information, orienting me about Sweetwater's support! That was awesome to know one can count on the company to be there by you. I did find a need for a better instructions on how to use this little gadget, well after a few tries I figured it out, but I am sure now if I would have called, Cody would have advised me. THANK YOU SWEETWATER FOR THE AMAZING SERVICE AND SUPPORT.

This pedal is amazing. I purchased to add some depth to my solo acoustic shows but have already found ways to add it to my everyday pedal board for my multiple bands. Within about 10 minutes I was off and running with this out of the box. It is very intuitive and well built. The only thing I wish it had was some form of internal memory to save a few loops to. However, I do not feel like I am missing out by not having this option. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to get into looping!

A gloriously easy to use product, highly recommended and top notch man.

OK, I've only had this a few days. But on my very first use (and subsequent trials), the recorded tones sounded as good as the live sound. Full range, punch, articulation. Wow. This box rocks. If it fails me in the the future, I will be surprised, And will report so here. Don't expect I'll be updating, it's that good.
