If you've been searching for a simple looper with bulletproof durability, supreme sound, and room for expansion, MXR's Clone Looper is the pedal for you. The Clone Looper boasts sample rates up to 88.2kHz — nearly double that of many other digital looper pedals — so you won't encounter aliasing when recording an overdriven electric or a percussive acoustic. You get up to six minutes of record time to share between unlimited overdubs. So whether you're creating a 6-minute play-along track or 30 seconds of cascading melodies and harmonies, the MXR Clone Looper has you covered. Your loops stay in the pedal between uses, even when you power it down, so it's easy to take ideas from home to the practice space for fleshing out. Advanced features, including 1/2–2x time stretching, expression pedal and tap switch inputs, and Play Once mode for backing tracks, give the MXR Clone Looper plenty of room to grow into as your needs do. It's all set in a brushed metal housing with an irreproachable all-analog signal path with programmable true/buffered bypass switching to suit any pedal setup.

Flashing 4-count entrance

Wanna make sure those rhythm parts come in right on the downbeat? The MXR Clone Looper gives you four flashing lights at the beginning of the loop, so you never miss an entrance

6 minutes, unlimited layers

MXR's Clone Looper gives you six minutes of record time at an unprecedented 88.2kHz sample rate to capture the smallest details in your performance. These six minutes can be split between a 6-minute single layer or 100 layers at 6 seconds each.

Impressive build and audio quality

The Clone Looper's analog through-path is set in a handsome brushed metal housing with rugged switches and jacks. Toggleable true bypass and buffered bypass switching suits this looper to any pedal setup.

Hands-free time stretching

Looking to get the most out of your Clone Looper? Connect an expression pedal (e.g. Dunlop DVP3) or tap switch (MXR Tap Tempo Switch) for hands-free control over loop speed. You can shift tempos dynamically, from 1/2 speed to 2x speed*, just by rolling your foot or tapping in playback speed. You can even reverse loops for some pretty dramatic effects. Note: 1/2 speed increases record time to 12 minutes. 2x speed decreases record time to 3 minutes.

Play Once mode

Got a cool one-shot that appears several times in your set? Set the Clone Looper to Play Once mode to activate sounds or re-trigger them with DJ-style stutter effects.

Simple controls

We at Music Experience found the MXR Clone Looper to be easy to dive into, with dedicated footswitches for record/dub and play/stop and an undo feature for overwriting the most recent loop.

What MXR Says...

The MXR Clone Looper Pedal is highly engineered for incredible sound quality, comes packed with features in a pedalboard-friendly housing, and can be as simple or complex as your needs dictate. Everything you expect from an MXR pedal, in other words. Whether you’re practicing at home, captivating audiences with improv compositions onstage, or weaving intricate sonic tapestries in the studio, the Clone Looper Pedal has you covered. Just plug in, power up, and start recording an unlimited number of layers—up to 6 minutes long—that will be stored even when the pedal is off. A super convenient LED gives you a flashing 4 count to the beginning of the loop so you can keep your overdubs tight. Loops can be stopped and started in an instant, and your most recent layer can be undone just as fast. Run effects to your heart’s content—with storage sample rates up to 88.2kHz, so this little box will handle even high-gain distortion with ease. To keep your pre-loop signal intact, the MXR team also included an analog through-path. On top of that, the Clone Looper Pedal can be set for either buffered bypass or true bypass switching to accommodate your tone and signal needs. The Clone Looper Pedal also comes packed with options for sonic explorers, from changing up the speed of your loop—to double-speed (3 minutes of recording time) or half-speed (12 minutes)—to reversing it entirely. Connecting an MXR Tap Tempo Switch to the CTR jack allows you to control all of these functions externally. The EXP jack provides further external control options when you connect a DVP volume pedal to adjust the loop’s output level or an MXR Tap Tempo Switch to engage Play Loop Once mode, which allows you to pull off smooth live performances and re-trigger your loop over and over again for DJ-style stutter effects.Pedalboard-friendly and built like a tank, the Clone Looper Pedal is easier to use and delivers higher fidelity signal reproduction than any other looper of its type—hands down.
