TC Electronic releases Ditto 2 looper

May 2, 2025 · 4 sources

TC Electronic has released the Ditto 2 Looper, a sequel to its original Ditto Looper, the company announced on March 27, 2025¹. Guitar.com published a review of the pedal on May 2, 2025, describing it as the first actual version two of the Ditto concept, more than a decade after the 2013 original².

The Ditto 2 is a mini-pedal sized looper with a single level knob, a multi-function footswitch and a three-way toggle switch on the side of the enclosure²¹. Guitar.com reports up to 10 minutes of 32-bit audio looping, against five minutes of 24-bit audio on the original²³. TC Electronic says the redesigned footswitch is larger and uses a magnetic mechanism, and that a new LED display shows loop status⁴. Guitar.com describes the LED changing color by state: red on record, green on playback, purple in overdub, pulsing yellow when a loop is stored, and blue in Bluetooth pairing mode².

The side toggle selects between Ditto mode, which TC Electronic lists as press once to record, again to play, again to overdub, double-press to pause and hold to clear, and a User mode⁴. By default the User profile is set up for single-tap looping, where a single tap records, plays and clears in that order². LoopSnap, on by default, corrects slight timing errors at the start or end of a loop; TC says it will correct an error of around 150ms². The pedal pairs with a TC smartphone or tablet app over Bluetooth, or connects by USB-C, for editing the User profile, switching between true and buffered bypass, and firmware updates⁴¹. TC Electronic lists Analog Dry-Through, with true bypass selectable in the app⁴.

Guitar.com gives the Ditto 2 a rating of 9 and lists patchy Bluetooth connectivity and LoopSnap as criticisms, writing that "it's best to think of it more as an occasionally useful bonus than a gig-saver"². MusicRadar reports a price of $119¹; Guitar.com gives $119 and also states "it's still just $120"². The original Ditto Looper was announced at $129 in January 2013 and was due March 1 that year³.
