I only play in my bedroom, but love this piece of kit. I'm learning each time I use the Donner looper. Could play forever with the backing drums and the backing rhythm I create. Fantastic.
Ian W.
It's great the rhythm sync with loop makes thing alot quicker!
Christian B.
Needs a reggae beat otherwise it's great.
Would be nice if rhythm could be swapped via the editor.
Robert S.
Still getting to grips with it as it does a lot more than your average one hit looper but am very impressed so far
arne t.
Full featured and easy to use. Solid Nd dependable.
Ian L.
Easy to use, sound quality very good,only improvement would be if it came with a power adapter, had to order one from Amazon, otherwise excellent .
Keneth C.
An excellent product which was delivered to me in under 24hours of placing my order.
Kenneth T.
Pity it doesn’t come with a power unit, could do with a more detailed user guide, especially for a first time user of this product, bought a power pack and tried to use it and liked the quality of the recording and dubbing sound, still trying to work out other options.
Stephen B.
I only received this a week or so ago, but first impressions are good.
Construction is robust - not sure about the colour scheme though.
The drum sounds are really good quality, although I could have done without some of the Hip hop and metal ones in favour of some more suitable for ballads.
I intend to use this with a ukulele (!), but I need to familiarise myself with the looper section some more before I introduce it to my public!
M M.
This pedal is fantastic!
Clare C.
An excellent looper with the benefit of having drums to help out. Would recommend this pedal to any guitarist for practice.
George D.
A great pedal, I've not had time to put it through it's paces fully but I'm looking forward to it. Great build quality.
Malcolm N.
Brilliant Looper, even better than I expected. Excellent quality and value for money.
Richard B.
Great little box. Does what states and nice clean sound. Happy!
Les C.
Pristine sound quality, very intuitive to use and the software works very well. An absolute bargain!
Iain R.
This pedal is great value. Really easy to operate and create loops for fun /practice. Drum sounds are pretty decent too and the metronome is not annoying! Recommended
Keith G.
Really nicely packaged and great price. I have no idea how to use it properly yet but am having loads of fun trying!
Seems pretty intuitive but I guess the instructions could be better.
I'll get there!
Greg P.
Great piece of kit at a very affordable price
Damian C.
Quality build very easy to use and for the price a fantastic pedal
Steve H.
Easy to order and delivery 1 or 2 days,no probs
Jules N.
I’ve tried various loopers and just couldn’t get the hang of them. This is super easy from the start and already I’ve got numerous loops and beats recorded. Definitely would recommend this.
Ronan D.
Love this unit. So well designed and extremely intuitive. Plenty of storage and stereo input and outputs make this item an amazing looper for the price. Very happy.
Steve W.
The looper pedal is a superb piece of kit at a great price. The built in drum machine and all it's various styles and tempos make it great for practicing. It's a band in a box. Would highly recommend this product.
Andrew B.
Fantastic bit of kit. The drum sounds are more like samples than synth sounds and the rhythm patterns are really useable. For me this is going to be an invaluable bit of kit for practice and songwriting. Easy to use and fairly self explanatory. Solid build quality and at a really good price.
Peter C.
Online the Donner Circle Looper looked bigger. So, surprise no. 1 - it's quite small really. Not a problem - managed to fit it into an aluminium case with other pedals. After unboxing the pedal and setting it up (pretty easily) with the help of the supplied manual, the steep learning curve began. I was surprised at how intuitive it was and managed to get a modest amount of success within the first hour. The body of the looper is really sturdy and with some care, the knobs should survive reasonably well. I think it will become a very useful addition to my musical equipment especially as it has its onboard drummer. I love it and for what you get - it's not expensive.
Jeffrey G.
This is a top peace of kit love it
Nigel R.
Good product. Good customer service too.
Darren W.
Was looking for an affordable looper pedal and saw a review of this on the 60-Cycle Hum YouTube channel. Instantly knew that this was what I was looking
for.
Having a ton of fun playing around with different drum settings/speeds etc. It's great fun and really useful. So glad I bought it.
Ron E.
Bought it on a whim and special offer - I'd been thinking of getting one anyway. I've not put it through all it's paces yet but it's certainly easy to setup and use, I didn't read any instructions for the first half hour! Excellent build quality.
Jannica Chanco
A blast to use. Opened a creative part of my brain i didn't know was there. Wrote 25 songs with 2 guitar parts and bass in a couple weeks. Easy to use. Have not uploaded any thing to my computer yet...
Frank Penketh
Amazing looper with memory slots and with a drum machine built in and stereo too! What’s not to like?
Sam Fisher
As you can see from the picture I've got it patched through the bus of my board so I can record ,,, Loop ,,, dub ... Anything that goes to the board awesome piece you can go in and out and stereo what else do you want ... love it ... Very easy 2 use ,,, good quality material ...
Hamish Matthews
At first, I couldn't get it to work properly because of power issues. I daisy'd off my TU-2 tuner, with 9v, 500ma. It should have worked, but had a drop in volume and bad buzzing. After I hooked up an isolated 9v 300ma power supply, it worked great. I run it through my effects chain (post amp) so that my amp channel switcher doesn't color its sound. Drums are fantastic for the price. They're generic "beat-keepers" with a little flare on some fills between measures. With 100+ variations and countless beats-per-minute time signatures, it will serve for everything I need. Be sure and push the "sync" (middle green) button to loop effectively. Another learning curve is that ending a loop with one pedal push starts a new layer of recording immediately. You have to push it twice to stop recording, if you just want to play along.
Shalom Monday
Awesome looper for the money and the drums sound good.
Richard Pryal
Best effects pedel where I can make different kinds of drum tracks
Oliver Hughes
Brilliant bit of kit and so easy to use. Great looper with lots of time to jam over and over.. Tons of memory slots to save projects too. I use this to record my instruments and then send it to the Conputer and software... Hard to find fault with this Donner pedal. I love it!
Jules Harley
Cheap and cheerful! Large memory bank, large selection of back beats, control over volume and tempo. Probably can’t really beat it for the price
Courteney Ingham
Decent pedal for any pedal board for quickly adding a beat. With the looper as a added bonus.
Grahame Andrew
Ease of use, large amount of memory, variety of drum patterns and great sound quality.
Brandon Tew
Easy to setup and use. Has great library of beats. Very happy with purchase.
Angela Pillar
Easy to use & I find the drum volume to be fine. Lots of fun, and really helps as a practice tool. I'm not skilled enough to want to use it at a live gig tho!!
Melanie Jones
Easy to use and good quality. Easy to make perfect loops, BUT IT IS NOT TRUE BYPASS! This could be a big issue for some setups that require signal to run thru the pedal when it is not receiving power. Really a big oversight Donner! All their other pedals are true bypass.
Julia Bishop
Easy to use and versatile.
Scott Jones
Easy to use pedal. This has 2 buttons. Many just have one and so this allows you to create more accurate loops.
Catherine Spence
Excelente relación calidad y precio. Es de buena calidad y muy útil.
Wayne Tolson
Excellent value. 40 different 4 minute loops. More loops and memory than pedals costing 2-3 times as much. Easy to use very intuitive. Highly recommend.
Daisy goudou
Favorite pedal to use.
Nicoleta Avadanei
Good pedal quality, works well, good price for what you get
Ebony Hodges
Got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it !
Victor Lima Gulart da Silva
Great deal and lots of fun! Thank you!
Julie Sutton
Great heavy duty looper plus a drum machine perfect duo.
Adam "Victor" Lockhart
Great looper functionality and drums. The sync feature is great. I can’t get the downloadable software to work but everything else surpassed my expectations. Can’t beat for the price.
Patrick Parkes
Great looper!
Ian Baker
Great looper, definitely my favorite of several. Drums are very realistic and easy to sinc with the loops.
ellen cooper
Great looper. Got for its storage and price. Don't really use the drums part. But storing up to 40 loops is awesome. Plus controlling the volume and fade out effect is a nice capability. It has replaced my Ditto, which is a great basic looper but can't match the storage of the Donner. Loopers are excellent practice devices for soloing. Get one.
Emma Ballson
Great looper. Looper functions as it should and works like most normal loopers, with the addition of a screen which makes it easier to see whats happening. Includes drum tracks are decent, ok variety for different styles, easy to change tempo.
Nikki hudson
Great pedal for the price
Alessandra Parolin
Great pedal. I love how the pedal is spilt down the middle. Loop on the left. Drum tracks on the right. I really enjoy being able to adjust the bpm of the drum tracks. Honestly I feel that the drums could sound a tad better. But they work just fine. And there are ten different genres. The loop is great because it has a record and a stop button. Most loops require you to double stomp to stop.
William Darlington
Great product, great price. Great utility for the guitar player and starting drum player.
lisa richardson
Great quality and a really fun pedal.
DEREK BROMHAM
Haven't had much time with it yet but so far I'm having a lot of fun with it. The drum machine is awesome and I like how the looper will pick up when you start playing and begin recording over your first loop without you having to hit the footswitch.
Chris Venner
I am enjoying this looper extremely. I am a great fan of thumbpicking. I unfortunately had a stroke and cannot play the bass notes or the melody at the same time so I play the bass notes, loop them and add the melody and wallah, chet Atkins, eat your heart out! @ word of caution, it does not come with a plug in, make sure you get the correct one!
Raheem Ladak
I bought this in a sale so for the price absolute bargain
matthew steer
I have been looking for a simple looper with some drum beats. I finally found one! I have tried other loopers and way to hard for me to use easily, was always getting spaces in the loops I can get it on time and can set the drum loop volume to match loop recording volume.
John Jolliffe
I have been playing bass for over 20 years and just started learning guitar. This pedal is great. I can plug the bass into the Left IN, Left OUT goes to the bass amp. I plug my guitar into the Right IN and Right OUT goes to the guitar amp. I can record a bass line and let it loop while I work on guitar riffs. I can add a rhythm guitar loop and work on a solo. The built-in drum/rhythm tracks are great as well.
Amy McCarthy
I have or have had several looper systems with and without rhythm features. Some are so complex that each set up takes a long time and I stop using it. This unit has just enough to be useful without being cumbersome. Additionally, you can use the looper features without the drum beats, or you can use the drum beat without the looper to keep your timing regulated. The drum tones will not be useful for recording,, but it is a great practice aid. It seems solid and well built.
Mutawakil Zankawah
I have really enjoyed this pedal. Not only does it act as a great looper but the added drum tracks are fun to jam with and there are dozens of them.
Michael Oram
I just got this pedal in the mail yesterday. Wish I would have known it needs a power adapter! This is the first pedal I've purchased that does not take a battery/batteries...Luckily I had an adapter that worked with it, but not having a battery compartment is kind of a bummer. I seek out portability. I am hoping that I can use a 9 volt battery and a short adapter to power this thing, we shall see. I still gave it 4 stars because after fiddling with it for 20 mins, it sounded great and has some awesome drum kits. For ￡100 it seems promising.
paul Venning
I like this product. I’ve had it a few days and I’m impressed with the quality of sound and how easy it is to use
Clare Atha
I liked the way its set up. The display is very helpful. And its stereo CD quality. I need more practice to operate it smoothly.
Dennis Varghese
I love everything about it. I specifically wanted it for the Blues tracks and I'm amazed at what this thing can do, especially because of how cheap it is compared to other loopers. one issue that I'm having is I can't figure out how to turn it off so I unplug it and that's a bit of a hassle but that might be me being an idiot lmao
Darren Clifford
I love how real the drums sound...organic and not like a computer. Also, very easy to use and understand. Just watch a few Youtube videos and you can start recording right out of the box no instructions needed, it's that easy....not like the Trio band in a box where you have to read a paper back novel first.
jemima ali khan
I love this looper to death. With 40 individual save slots that dont go away when powered off, im constantly saving random ideas. The drummer portion is incredible and helps keep me on beat. I especially love that the drummer bpm and style saves with the loop. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a looper.
Adel Gonter
I really like this looper. I dont use the drum side because I reallly dont know how but i use the looper in live ahows and love it.
Denis Wray
I use this with my bass guitar. It’s great to have a drum beat to play with. It’s a little tricky to tap the loop button at exactly to right time for the repeat to line up.
William Thatcher
I was able to use this looper/drum machine right out of the box by following the simple instructions enclosed. The loops are easily recorded and saved. Overdubs are also very simple to do following the instructions. Not all drum patterns included are useful for me, but I believe there are enough options for every musician to choose from. Tempos can be adjusted according to ones needs. For ￡100 it is great. I believe this is the same one sold by Flamma at a higher price, but with a different enclosure. It is also cheaper than Joyo’s OMB. The program to download loops to the computer is tricky to find. I had to use google search (donner circle looper program) to find it, since the download website is not provided. Please, note that to make the program work you need to update the pedals firmware. The program includes a pdf document with instructions that are not very clear, but I was able to figure out in 5 minutes. The pedal itself feels solid, like all Donner pedals.
James Bush
I’ve had a chance to play with this looper a bit and have to say, I like it a lot. Pretty easy to get started and lots of options for recording and saving. I mainly want to use it to just play with solos and practice with a beat, and for that it’s great. There have been other reviews that mention how the drums don’t record when you record a loop, so you have to remember (write down) which drum pattern and bpm in order to play again. And that IS a drawback keeping this unit from being a total five stars. (And also, if you don’t learn to hit that little synch button, there are some definite wtf moments with this pedal!) I think this is a great value though, and I’m super stoked to get to play with it more.
Flavio Moutinho
Initially I was very impressed by the looper functions and sound quality. However the rhythm section sounded terrible, distorted and basically a real disappointment, until I turned down the volume to 6, from 20. I guess the default volume is maxed out and it is quite bad initially. After turning it down, it fit better in the mix with the guitar and had a much clearer sound. Bought during the Black Friday sale which made this pedal a real bargain. Its awesome for practice and putting ideas together, the rhythm / metronome options are pretty good, and I especially love the light up circle which massively helps visually in knowing where you are in the loop. Its the first looper pedal I've used but with the added features it makes it a lot of fun, easy to use and is very durable, with excellent build quality. Apart from the initial volume problem, I can fault it, haven't managed to use the usb and download recordings on a pc, nor the stereo channels, but look forward to exploring these added features more. Instructions could have been a lot worse and in all are pretty well written, managed to get going on it pretty quick.
Anna Malysheva
Inspiring pedal that does a lot more for the money than any other pedal. Drums sound surprisingly good and the pedal is very user friendly. Just wish the drums saved with the loops in the memory slot.
Michael Wood
It is incredible all the features and tools this pedal has for the price. Great to use for beginner users and there are plenty of YouTube reviews to show you how to use it.
Dorina Liliom
It’s awesome. Love the drum tracks and the metronome. Works great sounds good. The drums are where it’s at with this looper. I have had the trio and the jam man. This is just more fun. I love that I can just pick a drum track and start jamming along and when I find a groove loop it. Worth the price. Seems very solid.
James Orgill
ITS A GREAT Loop pedal..I have other loop boxes ..this is easy to use ..great Drums .. 40 memory lots.. love this one????
Rachel Grant
It's my first looper...I did my research on YouTube,and that convinced me to purchase, as my first looper..I'm having fun learning different techniques.
Vincent Bye
It's okay the drum Beats or a little electronic sounding the Looper is fine has a metronome to count you in makes it easier to start your Loop
Izzy Henry
It's well built, easy to use and affordable. Does a great job! Recommended.
Kim Clark
Just fun! I'm not a gear head. I just like to play guitar and sing and occasionally play trumpet or base or harmonica. Now I can play along with myself! This looper has a great range of functions that are easy to use. Fun right out of the box,
Lucinda Prempeh
Just got it today. Impressed with the features. Did some testing as where in the pedal chain to locate it. Putting after the distortion pedal and before amp, got some feedback. I ended up putting at the front of the chain and its better. Took me a while to figure out the directions for the firmware update. Whoever wrote that isn't good with technical writing. It needs to be clear and simple. I saw another post about the volume level and I must agree. When just playing the drum beats, even at the lowest volume level its loud. I think the scale needs to be redone. Surely that can be added in a firmware update. I want the drum beats, but I don't need it dominant in the signal. Volume level 1 should be at barely able to hear, then scale up. The next thing is there is no way to turn it off. No on switch. No off switch. Is it supposed to stay on all the time ? Or is there a way through a series of button presses to turn it off. I can only see unplugging it.
Alfred Tyldesley
Love this thing.I love to jam along with it I wish it had a reggae beat otherwise a lot of fun
Gerard Power
My creative energy seems to flow effortlessly with this incredible drum looper. I love this product. Intuitive, easy to use, and features not seen on other drum loopers such as a fade out mode. ??????????
Alfie Wilson
Nice drum grooves, controls take a min to get used to but this is a great practice pedal.
Ava Ghorbani
Note thst this doesn't come with a power pack!! Aside from not realising it didn't have a power pack ??♂? a great pedal - easy to use, great combos
KEVIN MCMAHON
Overall, I really think Donner did a great job with this looper. The only drawback I found was the device added a little noise to my signal, not nearly as bad as some of the the pedals I’ve had over the years, but still slightly noticeable. That being said, unless you’re willing to spend 2 to 3 times as much for a looper, I don’t think the Circle Looper can be topped.
James Brannan
Packed with a lot of features for the money. So far has held up pretty well. Use the drum loops every day to practice on my bass and the looper function to listen and evaluate to my playing. Really good tool if you don't have an audio interface to play and record on the computer with.
Kay Jarvis
Plug and play, works just like advertised. I’m new at looping and I explored all available units before deciding on the Donner. Very happy with my purchase.
Michele Della Vecchia
Pretty cool looper easy to use I like the screen feature also
Massimo Massimo Boffelli
Pretty nice for the price. Easy to use, sounds great.
Kirsty Bowie
Probably the best sub ￡100 stereo looper you can get at the moment. Good drums sounds, simple operation. I like that it has a count in option even when you’re overdubbing which some more expensive loopers don’t have. This makes the looper much more useful as a quick song writing/sketching tool. Hope they would make a multi track version of this soon:)
Samantha Rock
Quality Looper! Very Easy to Use. Fun! Fun! Fun! I worked with this looper with my Bass guitar and the drum machine. Created a few grooves to jam with. I used the looper into one amp and then jammed with my guitar through another amp. I had a Blast!!!!!!
