TC Electronic Announces an Upgraded Version of DITTO Looper

TC Electronic announced the DITTO+ Looper, an upgraded version of the original Ditto Looper. As the company put it in its announcement, "DITTO+ Looper takes the original Ditto Looper that we all know and love and expands it with a few new features."¹

The new pedal kept the single-footswitch approach of the original, which lets players record, overdub, undo and redo loops from one switch. It is a digital looper, and its high-quality uncompressed audio preserves the original signal without coloration, in a compact metal enclosure suitable for pedalboards. Power comes from a 9V DC center-negative supply drawing 100mA.²

The announcement listed the additions:

• 99 loop session capacity, so loops can be stored and recalled on the pedal¹
• Original DITTO Looper mode, for players who want the simpler behavior of the first version¹
• Extend Loop Mode, which the announcement described as letting you "put longer overdubs on top of shorter loops by stacking the short ones" side by side¹

At launch, the UK price was £99, with the US price still to be confirmed.³

The original Ditto Looper, released in 2013 at $129, set the template: a minimal looper aimed at players who wanted looping without menus or extra footswitches.⁴ The DITTO+ sat alongside other members of the line TC Electronic had built from it, including the Ditto X2, Ditto Stereo, Ditto X4 and the band-syncing Ditto Jam X2.²
