We were as excited as the rest of the guitar world when TC Electronic announced the snazzy new Ditto X2 Looper this week – and even more excited when one landed on our desks!

Straight out of the box, you get the Ditto X2 itself, a Quick Start guide, TC Electronic catalogue, two rubber strips for the base of the pedal, and a USB cable – more on the latter later…

And there’s the X2 itself – you’ll notice that there are two footswitches, as opposed to the original Ditto Looper’s one

Beside the oversized loop level knob is a small toggle switch that allows you to – new feature alert – store the pedal’s current loop, or adjust the level of a backing track that you’ve downloaded from your computer

The X2 also boasts three functions for the right footswitch: reverse, 1/2 speed, and a separate stop switch

That last toggle means you can use the X2 in two ways: the left footswitch can stop the loop with a double-tap, and the right can control effects; or the left footswitch can be used to play and overdub, while the right footswitch stops and clears the loop

And yes, you get a pair of stereo outputs this time around, plus a USB port to transfer loops to and from your computer

Finally, TC has given you the option of running the X2 on a nine-volt battery – or even two, if you want extra battery life. The battery compartment also houses a DIP switch that lets you choose between loop, play, record and loop, overdub, play sequences –flexible!
