Mooer has unveiled the Micro Looper II, a mini looper pedal, alongside the Micro Drummer II drum generator, Guitar World reported on June 1, 20231. Gearnews covered the pair the following day2.
The Micro Looper II is organized into three saving banks, accessed via a toggle switch up top, with a central rotary switch that navigates between the 16 slots available to each bank1. Each slot allows up to 10 minutes of looping time, which the report calculates as up to 480 minutes of total looping across 48 slots1. It offers unlimited layering and standard Undo and Redo tools, plus Level and Threshold controls; Threshold works with the Auto Rec mode that starts looping as soon as a signal level is detected1. Gearnews describes the same three banks of 16 slots and 480 minutes of total recording time2.
The Micro Drummer II offers 48 grooves across eight rhythm types and six music genres, with Fill and Tap Tempo functions and two EQ presets1. Gearnews lists the genres as Pop, Funk, Metal, Rock, Blues and Jazz2.
Guitar World gives the Micro Looper II a US price of $101 and the Micro Drummer II $1031. Gearnews gives a euro MSRP of EUR 94 for each pedal2.
Guitar World frames the Micro Looper II against TC Electronic's Ditto, which it says has one Level control and up to five minutes of looping time for one slot, and lists for $99; it puts the Ditto+ at $159, with a high-res color display, 99 savable preset slots, an Extended Loop mode and 60-minute loop time1. Gearnews calls the Micro Looper II very affordable compared with the Ditto, which it places in a similar price bracket2.
"With each individual slot allowing up to 10 minutes looping time, some quick mental math will reveal that means the Micro Looper II has up to 480 minutes of total looping across 48 slots"
