Nux Loop Core Stereo

When it comes to loopers my preference is tc electronic. I had a standard Ditto for the longest time, which I gave to a firend, he still uses it. I have the Ditto+ since its release. I love that thing. I also have a Ditto X4 that I used alot when I got obsessive about looper some years ago. That phase passed and I just use the Ditto+ now.

I wanted a "cheap" stereo looper for my the practice board. I want to send a bass guitar to one side to a bass amp and the other side a guitar going to my guitar amp. For times when its just me and the drummer getting together for a session. Having the super basic drum sounds, is great for when I get there early and jam by myself.

I chose the Nu-X as I wanted all the features of the Boss but didnt see the point in spending the extra € on the Boss, especiall as it wont go through any rigorous use. I also have a friend who has a Boss mono looper and I did not like using that at all.

I have had many Nu-X pedals over the years and have been lucky to never have any issues with the quality. There are pedals I did not like tonaly etc and sold them, but never had any issues with quality. I have at least 15 Nu-X pedals in my pedal locker or in use on boards.

The Nu-X Looper has surpassed all my expectations and works exactly as I had hoped. If down the road, like 2+ years, it turns out I got a dud and it dies on me I would be happy to replace it. I've had Boss and other reputable companies pedals die on me too over the years so it is what it is. But I'm not worried about that happening. The quality of Nu-X is up to standard in my opinion.

However, if I was going to gig with a stereo rig and wanted a basic compact stereo looper. I would hands down buy the Ditto Stereo Looper.

The Ditto X4 is just too big for a board that already has 6 to 10 pedlas on it. But I will never sell the Ditto X4, its too much fun.

It has everything you can ask for in a single track looper, with a very nice colorful display, nice UX, very good sound quality (I think the ditto has a tiny bit better sound quality but less features, still you can mitigate this with putting a buffer after the looper, works for me!). The auto drums do a very good job, just as good as on the BOSS pedals. The buttons and layout are very intuitive.

I would like a simple ctrl in like the boss and a battery operation. Touch screen would be nice, but it's certainly not a must. All in all i think this is the best feature rich single track looper for the money in the market right now.

Cons:
- It doesn't have a touch screen
- no classic Ctrl out pedal, only MIDI control
- no battery operation

Pro's:
- Simple but can be feature rich
- Sound Quality
- Flexible In/Out's + routing options
- Additional features such as plenty drum sounds, track saving, colored screen etc.

Ich bin was Looper angeht noch sehr unerfahren. Der Nux LCS hat eine tolle Ausstattung und eine sehr übersichtliche Bedienung über das farbige Display. Man kann gegenüber der Konkurrenz in diesem Preissegment sehr viel einstellen, hat sogar Drums an Board und die Option auf Stereo (wobei auch hier wieder gesteuert werden kann, wie die zwei Kanäle genutzt werden sollen).
Nachteile habe ich bis jetzt keine Festgestellt.
