Best Guitar Loopers & Samplers Effects of 2025

"I ordered this for my teenage guitar player son. He chose the battery-powered model, but I opted for the one with cords and a power cord included. He said it’s working great, and the sound quality and smoothness are “pretty good.” He based his choice on reviews, and I believe he made a solid decision. It seems to be a good value, and I will update if any issues arise."

"Having played guitar since childhood, I recently started playing bass too. When I found the RC-10 looper, it felt like my wish had come true. The ability to sync the rhythm to the looper is fantastic. I appreciate the pt 1 and pt 2 feature as well. While it took me a couple of days to get accustomed to it, I’m truly enjoying it so far! It’s worth the price for me. I just wish I had discovered it sooner, although I wish there were an on/off switch."

"I primarily use this as a backup track player on stage. It's incredibly simple to upload wave files, and the sound quality is excellent—no hum or issues whatsoever."

"This pedal has been a little trooper for me over the past seven years. Its full metal construction adds to its durability, and I appreciate that I didn't have to spend a fortune to get a reliable tuner with a nice bright screen and compact design."

"I bought this pedal based on a friend's recommendation, and I'm pleasantly surprised by its quality. It's easy to set up, and I can adjust the Threshold to cut out most of the noise while still enjoying significant sustain. For my setup, the Donner really shines as a space-saving solution."

"The Donner Noise Killer has made a huge difference in my setup. I used to struggle with constant feedback in my small room, but after integrating this pedal, the unwanted noise has been drastically reduced. It was simple to adjust, and now I can jam in peace!"

"My son loves the Lekato looper pedal! It was simple to use right out of the box, and he’s had no complaints. It works perfectly and is a fantastic tool for practicing and experimenting with music. I highly recommend it for both beginners and experienced players!"

"I find it works as advertised, but I wish it had an On/Off switch. The instructions took me a few reads to understand, and while it may take some time to learn, I guess that’s true for all pedals. Overall, it's a decent price."

"I’ve been using this because the built-in looping on my Helix floor doesn’t retain loops between presets. It recorded well on a clean channel, but I noticed slight distortion during playback when trying to play along. The level indicators showed no clipping, so I'm not sure what caused that."

"I received this pedal for review and I must say, it's a solid addition to my pedalboard. The metal construction feels sturdy, and the volume knob has a nice feel. The onboard tuner is particularly handy, eliminating the need for an extra pedal. With 9 slots for loops, I can save my ideas without worrying about deleting anything. If I had to summarize the Lekato Loop Station Mini Looper Pedal in one word, it would be practical!"

"I recently got this looper, and I find it solidly built and hefty. While I couldn't use the USB to transfer files on my Mac initially, I figured out a workaround with a free app. The sound quality is good, but remember that all recorded tracks must match the length of the first one. I have reached out to tech support and I'm hopeful for a solution!"

"As my first looper, I bought this two years ago and I'm still using it! With up to 10 minutes per loop and unlimited overdubs, I can't find anything that beats these features for the price. The tuner is excellent and easy to access. The LEDs are bright, but I found a way to dim them down a bit. Overall, I would highly recommend this for its simplicity and effectiveness!"

"I can't stop using the Circle Looper; it's just amazing! With 40 memory slots and a synchronized drum machine, it's pushing me to explore new styles and techniques. The drum sounds are organic and lively, and I love the tap tempo feature!"

"This looper is a fantastic tool! It's perfect for beginners like me who want to play with a group or create entire songs solo. The sound quality is excellent, and the controls are pretty simple while offering plenty of options for recording and sound levels!"

"I would absolutely recommend this item! The drum tracks sound much better than expected, and the build quality is impressive. The LCD screen is bright and easy to read, which is a plus for us older players!"

"As a guitarist/singer soloist for Carnival, I find this looper easy to use and it sounds great every night!"

"I really enjoy the LEKATO loop pedals; they are simple to operate and the LED ring helps me follow the loops easily. However, I wish there were more loop slots available."

"For its low price, this Lekato Looper Pedal offers impressive quality and works just as I expected."

"I found the setup to be very simple and didn't even need to read the directions. This looper allowed me to hear myself play in a way that made me feel good about my music. It has excellent controls and visual cues which made looping a breeze. The build quality is impressive; it feels like a tank, and it doesn't slide around when I'm using it."

"I recently bought this looper after trying a friend's, and I wanted something easy to use without double-tapping. It’s incredibly user-friendly with plenty of YouTube tutorials available. I'm using it as a practice tool to enhance my rhythm and creativity, and it’s perfect for layering tracks. However, I was disappointed to find out that it didn’t come with the USB cables as mentioned in the launch video."

"The Sheeran looper + works really well for me and is straightforward to operate. It’s important to note that an amp is necessary, which I luckily had. However, I was expecting it to come with a specific USB wire, yet mine arrived with a MIDI input instead. Despite that small hiccup, it’s a fantastic tool for anyone interested in looping instruments or vocals."

"As a drummer, synthist, singer, and producer/streamer, I really enjoy my two Roland loop stations. The solid looping and phrasing make it a great addition to my setup."

"I found this looper awesome, as it’s featured in many busking videos on YouTube. While the learning curve is steep, especially for beginners, it performs great once you master it. I recommend using a MIDI foot pedal to enhance the experience. Overall, a fantastic unit, although it can be pricey!"

"I use this in my recording studio, and it has become a big hit. The sound quality is good, and I love how easy it is to use. I recommend watching videos to get the most out of it. I’ve been very satisfied with my purchase!"

"This is by far my favorite pedal! The quality is much nicer than I imagined for such an inexpensive pedal. The chorus effect sounds just as I hoped, and it fills the room perfectly. I have no complaints overall!"

"I got a fabulous deal on this distortion pedal. It costs only $15, yet it delivers a rich full tone that exceeded my expectations. Perfect for thrash death metal with tons of dirty chunky gain. I highly recommend this brand!"

"I was compelled to pen a lamentation regarding the Harmonic Elixir Pedal. Upon arrival, it seemed splendid with colorful knobs, but the tones emitted were a cacophony. The knobs are stiff, and the power supply is fickle. I implore fellow musicians to steer clear of this wretched contraption!"

"For less than $50, this looper is fantastic! I use it to practice changes and solos, just looping the rhythm and playing for hours. The button is smooth to use. I’m currently using it with a small amp, so I can’t comment on its true-bypass quality yet, but it sounds great. Just a heads up, for live performances, you need to double-tap to start and stop the loop, which can be tricky. Overall, for $43, it does exactly what I want, and I love it!"

"I got this looper for my partner, who’s a traveling music therapist. It’s incredibly small and compact, fitting perfectly in their hand and easily packing in their guitar case. Despite its size, it delivers impressive sound quality! Just a note: no cables are included, so I had to buy an adapter separately, but that was mentioned in the product description. Overall, we love this pedal—it's user-friendly, travels well, and offers great value!"

"I bought this looper because I needed a budget-friendly option to ensure the output level from my multiple patches was consistent. Surprisingly, it recorded just as easily as my previous, more expensive model, and I didn’t notice any loss in quality or unwanted noise. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for an inexpensive looper for occasional use!"
