Donner Circle Looper - how good could a $90 import looper pedal actually be?

3 жыл бұрынDonner Circle looper: amzn.to/35rfrdm
Donner sent me this looper and I'm honestly shocked, IT'S PRETTY DAMN GOOD!
The features are there, the sounds are good and most importantly, it's affordable, not affordaboard affordable but still, its the price of most one button one knob finger sized loopers.. Am I missing something here? Is this as good as I think it is?

This has become my favorite pedal because it's so much fun... that I'm playing daily now. That right there, makes it worth every dime! Thanks for the Vid... it kept me from having to read a boring manual!
@adamrasmussen9939 5 ай бұрын
It sounds like it has all the features of the Boss RC-5 but at half the price - cheaper even than the RC-1. The Boss has a few advantages - 99 storage banks vs 40 with this, and 13 hrs total storage vs 160mins, but overall it seems very comparable.

Take note....it does auto save. And you can easily change tempo of all the drum presets via tap or direct bpm entry...which is handy for synching tempo with other rhythm devices. Both rotating knobs are 3 way press knob to change bpm, style, volume (drum side) / memory, volume, fade out time (looper side)...its a great value. Got mine new for $80...use it every day.

YES!!! Circle Looper's beats per minute sync "close enough" so we can easily hit the looper button and the loop "quantizes" or stops on the bar, or close enough it does NOT hiccup and get further off with each loop cycle (on some Beat Buddy beats ONLY, because Beat Buddy beats get recorded with human drummers, so they too are not as accurate as digital. Who cares? Record the Beat Buddy into the loop! TAKE NOTES OF CIRCLE LOOPER DRUM AND TEMPO for your loops, in case you need to recreate, or move slots. Seems circle looper's software handles the metadat about its beats and tempo, so write things down to edit .WAV loops in Audacity for loundess, EQ, etc. and import new WAV files into the clooper. Circke Looper uses 24 bit, and Boss RC-3 uses 16 bit, so pay attention when you edit/export/save/create the file in Audacity, for example. I love my Circle Looper! I did cover the looper button with a cap to avoid mistakenly hitting it during a step to Stop, which avoids going into Record mode and polluting your backup loop.

But your review was very very good - and my confidence grew. So now I’m thinking, for about £90 it’s probably worth a punt. Diolch yn fawr {in Welsh] In english thank you very much

I'm really liking this thing. Like you pointed out, there's a lot there for $90! I really like the BPM counter and the visual loop so you see how long your loop is. The drums are way better than the rhythm in my Boss RC3 and I just have to guess with tap tempo. The more I see of this Circle Looper, the more I'm thinking of getting it.

Bought mine a week ago. Very satisfied, for me I never used that fade out it's pointless, and the screen is quite small compared to the pedal. Also I'd like to have an overall output control along with the level and volume control for each looper and drum machine cause even at 1 some drums are still too loud for my environment and the looper section.

Loopers are fun and great for live playing but my Zoom R24 is the best for looping ideas. It has 24 tracks and they all can be looped, you can program your own drums on the included drum machine or use the presets, you can apply effects to your loops and then you can import it all into your daw and it is all in time and ready to produce. My frustration with loopers is that I get these cool loops and then I can't manipulate the individual parts.

Donner makes some good pedals. I bought the White Tape pedal and had a great time playing with the delay. I just wish I had a second amp so I could use the stereo function. Sadly, we had a roach infestation and the pedal quit working. There needs to be a way to plug the excess holes so that doesn't happen. Still, I want another one if I can't get this one repaired.

Am I going to be smart enough for this thing?” And then by the end: “Now that I have it figured out, I’m excited!” It’s that moment when you realize: Yes, it is a little bit more complicated, but in the end, you find it is perfectly logical, and that the added complexity is actually worth it!

Looks like an affordable option for the feature set. Where in the pedal chain would this be best? My amp does not have a loop chain (that might be a future upgrade) ; I haven't used a looper before, but I have a o/d and a distortion pedal. Would this fit best after the distortion pedal ? I've read articles that seem to conflict; either at the start of the signal path and at the end. My thought was at the end. What would be your suggestion ?
