The NUX JTC Drum & Loop Pro is a dual-footswitch looper pedal from Nux, built around long-form phrase recording: NUX describes it as a dual switch stomp box with 6 hours of recording capability and 256 loop track memories1. Two footswitches mean you can keep recording and playing without crouching over the pedal, and the second switch leaves room for hands-free memory and stop functions alongside the loop controls.
The two footswitches and how looping works
The JTC Pro's looping controls break down like this:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Left footswitch (LOOP) | Recording, overdub, and start/stop of the looper1 |
| Loop recording action: Record and Play (RP) | When a recording pass ends, the pedal moves into playback1 |
| Loop recording action: Record and Overdub (RD) | When a recording pass ends, the pedal keeps stacking layers without an extra press1 |
| External footswitch input | Connect the optional NUX NMP-2 control footswitch for switching phrase memories1 |
The left footswitch covers the core loop workflow on one switch: press to record, press again to overdub or play back, and stop when you are done1.
NUX gives the JTC Pro two different loop recording actions, Record and Play (RP) and Record and Overdub (RD)1. Choosing between them changes what the pedal does when a recording pass ends, so you can set it up to jump straight into playback or to keep stacking layers without an extra press.
The NMP-2 footswitch used for switching phrase memories is an optional accessory, connected to the JTC Pro's external footswitch input1.
Outputs and running direct
The JTC Pro has 2 outputs, and NUX describes several output modes:
- A stereo connection for two amplifiers1
- Speaker cabinet simulation activated for the Right Output, to send your guitar signal directly to a PA system or PA speaker1
That makes it usable as more than a looper: with the cabinet simulation engaged, the right channel can feed a PA or powered speaker directly, which suits players who run silent on stage or straight to the front of house1.
Power
Power comes from a 9 V negative tip power input, the standard center-negative pedal supply arrangement, or from the Micro-B USB input1. Having both options means the pedal can sit on a conventional pedalboard supply or be powered over USB.
Where it sits in Nux's looper range
The JTC Drum & Loop Pro is one of several loopers in Nux's line. The company also makes the Loop Core and the Dual-Loop Stereo, and if you are comparing dual-footswitch loopers, the Boss RC-10R Rhythm Loop Station and the DigiTech JamMan Solo XT are other options in the same broad territory.

Questions
How long can the NUX JTC Drum & Loop Pro record?
NUX gives the JTC Drum & Loop Pro 6 hours of recording capability. That recording time is spread across the pedal's 256 loop track memories, so a player can store many separate phrases rather than one long loop.
How many loop memories does the NUX JTC Drum & Loop Pro have?
The JTC Drum & Loop Pro has 256 memories for storing loop tracks, according to NUX's product page. To change phrase memories without bending down, you can connect the optional NUX NMP-2 control footswitch to the external footswitch input.
How is the NUX JTC Drum & Loop Pro powered?
The pedal can be powered from a 9 V negative tip power input or from its Micro-B USB input, so it works with a standard center-negative pedal supply or from USB power.
Can I switch loop memories with a footswitch?
Yes. The JTC Pro has an external footswitch input, and NUX says you can connect the optional NUX NMP-2 control footswitch into that jack for switching phrase memories. The onboard left footswitch handles recording, overdubbing and start/stop instead.
Does the NUX JTC Drum & Loop Pro have stereo outputs?
Yes. The JTC Pro has 2 outputs with several output modes: a stereo connection for two amplifiers, or you can activate the speaker cabinet simulation for the Right Output to send your guitar signal directly to a PA system or PA speaker.
