Harley Benton Mini Looper Reviews

Unfortunately it broke on me after a few minutes of use

The sound was meh and it stopped working quite soon as the title suggests. Though, the costumer support was very good!

wow

Pros : What a nice pedal. Small and metal made , gives you great oportunites to excersise your music or your singing. At first made noise with my phase pedal but second time i used it fixed it itself. Good sound and am looking forward to use it with my band on a gig.

Cons: The stop button needs a little bit of practice, and the volume control doesn't give you a great range.

Indeed, it's a very good looper

I bought this pedal as my first ever looper. Delivery was quick and correct, as always.

The packaging is lovely! I can't believe how small and simple it is. It's of solid metal construction and it has 2 Jack sockets, one button and a volume control.

There is a small difference between the direct sound to the amp and the looped sound from the pedal, but the difference isn't that big.

Note: The pedal only runs off a power supply, there's no battery option (it's physically too small to house one) but I was aware of this before I ordered and isn't an issue.

100% satisfaction!

Works like champ! For this price its a steal!

Basic looper that does the job!

These one button loopers are tricky to use as I found out, this being the first looper I own, but once you figure it out it absolutely meets the requirements for practice, does not require much space on a pedal board and has a solid metal construction. Great choice for people on a budget that do not require complex loopers.

Broken on arrival

Showed up broken, didnt register any sounds, just loudly beeped,

basically a total waste of 40 euros

You can't go wrong with this pedal for the price. Just a very simple looper, one button, unlimited overdubbing, which is really fun when you want to mess around by yourself.

Has a fun feature to add any effect to it by just activating it after starting the recorded loop, giving you a very versatile loop. You don't have to re-record your loop if you would want a chorus instead of reverb or ?

Biggest con is the switch: it is very light and is pressed down too easily. I often find myself activating and immediately deactivating the pedal with one single touch because the button is so easily pressed.

Double click carazyness!

The device is a good quality copy of the ditto looper. Price is good and build quality too, even though since I bought it, some cheaper clones from chinese manufacturers with similar features have started to appear. Sound is good and even though this is not a true bypass pedal I do not think it adds any distorsion. I cannot complain on all of the above. What I found very disturbing is the original design choice of the ditto looper of using a double click to stop the loop: that is extremely difficult to use ( the double tap is out of the tempo of the song). As a result, stopping a loop within the right tempo is almost impossible, or requires lots of training. Basically this means I am only able to use this looper in an additive way (overdubbing over the loop witout ever stopping it), which is a little deception for me.

Just For Fun

In terms of Size and Money

Then you cool

Does what it's supposed do

I'm happy with that looper. It does exactly what I expected. Quality is nice. Looks sturdy. It's small and simple.

No fuss, simple and easily usable

When what you want is a simple looper - the kind of thing you just sit down and use - this really fits the bill.

No fancy functions, just tap and go. I bought this for my 83 year old father and he took to it in no time. Fantastic value for money 0 if you want a sophisticated device for live user, you're probably looking elsewhere, but for something practical for home use, this might be the one for you.

Great looper for great price

It cannot get easier than that, just one switch, a level pot, and you're good to go. The different switching options to control the loops and and add layers are a bit confusing at first, but eventually it gets easier.

Although I haven't used it myself, I love the fact that you could actually download the loops you've made onto your computer!

Good looper but difficult to use

The sound is good, and works very well.

The only problem is that is not very easy to use when playing. And even more difficult to learn how to use. I had to read the manual more than once to remember how to do things.

But for the price, is very good.

wow

its not expensive and the sound is great. no complains with this one. i love it and i am spending hours whit it

I've been using this looper for over a year now. It has some bad issues.

First off, recording over multiple times reduces the sample quality dramatically. Especially if you're recording in lower frequencies and\or distortion effects. It's very frustrating, as it kinda looses it's purpose without the feature to record over.

Second issue, it has some weird filtering issues. Some of the effects sometimes get canceled out by the looper pedal. My tremolo effect does not work with this effect.

It has a nice feature though, you can extract recorded samples through usb port to your pc. However, the software for that is only written for windows. So if you're using some other system, you're out of luck.

The thing that i do like about it, the control is very simple. You can record, delete, stop, play and cancel using only the single switch and a combination of taps.

All in all, it's a good toy for the price, but I strongly recommend to look for a better investment

Harley Benton Mini Looper

Had it bought me for Christmas and can't fault it, I use it all the time in my home studio, great value would highly recommend.

Probably the best price/quality option.

The HB Mini Looper is a simple looper, with basic functions (no tap tempo, for instance).

I normally use it at home, record just one loop (it goes up to ten if you wish) and keep playing over it.

The sound is very good, and the pedal works very well both in the effect loop and directly into the amp input.

Solid built and easy to use, very fair price. Definitely recommended.

Nice looper

Cheap and very effective looper. Easy to use...

Nice looper for the price

Allthough the features are not all that much, it's a good looper for the price. Nice to start with and explore the looper-world.

Basic and very good looper

I was looking for a looser to use as a practice tool at home, a basic looped pedal is what I decided on and when I seen the price of this one I thought it had to be worth a go.

First impression was how lovely the packaging was, something you don't usually get on cheaper I items. Second, I couldn't believe how small it was, it takes up virtually no room on my pedal board. It's of solid metal construction, has 2 Jack sockets, one button and a volume control. It's about as simple as you can get, but for my needs it was everything I wanted it to be. If you wanted to use it in a live situation it'd be difficult with just one multi function button but this is the same for any longer with one button, and let's be honest you'd buy a bigger until for live use.

Used at the end of my pedal board this pedal is really impressive, I can't spot any loss of tone in the looped signal, even when effects on top of the signal. The volume control on mine works well right throughout its sweep.

The pedal only runs off a power supply, there's no battery option (it's physically too small to house one) but I was aware of this before I ordered and isn't an issue.

For your first looper this is a great choice, or for a home use pedal you won't need anything more.
