Harley Benton Mini Looper Reviews

Fine for it's price

It's a basic looper for everyone who don't wanna spend a lot of money. Don't expect fireworks - simple and that's all. If you're looking for something to practice in home - best choice at this moment.

Great tool

For the money, utterly brilliant, nicely made and packaged, sound is transparant, limited in terms of functionality but at this price, what do you expect?

I am no songwriter but in terms of practice and just sheer fun, this is one of the best bit's of kit I have ever purchased, just buy one.

Probably the best for this price

It is the cheapest looper available and does what it needs to do. It works fine, seems quite solid and the sound is okay.

It works, it's good, it's cheap

I bought this pedal as myfirst ever looper because i didn't want to spend much on a looper.

A little bit worried about the quality (because there aren't that many reviews or videos online) i decided to just buy it. Delivery was quick and correct, as always, and when i first plugged it in, it did what I expected.

PRO'S:

It's a simple looper and it works, the sound is good, the footswitch is sturdy which is important for a looper because you use the footswitch a LOT and the looping mechanism is easy. The USB-connectivity works fine and is a neat feature, but i don't use it that often.

And now the DOWNSIDE to the pedal:

First of all, the sound. When i record a loop there is a small difference between the direct sound to the amp and the looped sound from the pedal. The difference isn't that big, but it is noticable if you know the sound of your gear.

Second, the volume knob works fine between completely off and noon (wich is about the same volume as the signal from the guitar) but the second half of the volume-sweep doesn't effect the volume very much. But since it's a looper, I don't think it's that big of a problem.

I also compared this to the TC Electronic Ditto my friend uses, and the difference in quality isn't worth double the price.

TLDR; Need a looper, don't need perfection, buy this one!

Very Good

It?s work perfect. The sound is good, even if you add pedals before it,

The only problem is when you want to do 2 recordings or more, you have to press the pedal two times, it can be a problem sometimes,

Anither bad thing is that is not possible use with a batery...

Nice and affordable looper

I needed a small, simple looper to practice the guitar with. This one satisfies my needs in 100%.

I cannot say the sound quality is perfect but it is definitely enough for me. I find it sounding the best for clean or a bit overdriven guitar tones.

I also have no problems with operating the device.

Great loop. Feels high quality.

This is a great looper pedal. I use it for jamming at home.

The instructions are very clear. The sound is perfect. The volume control knob is handy.The pedal feels very high quality just as high quality as other TC electronic pedals I have.

I would recommend this pedal

Bang for the Buck

I know this is not a Ditto - but for the money I challenge anyone to find better looper than this.

It does what it is supposed to do. Came out of box solid and now after a couple of days of medium use it feels sturdy and I think it will last me a while.

Very cool little looper. The switch is really great, really smooth. However, I'm experiencing some distortion when overdubbing too much, and by too much I mean, depending on the guitar and the effects I put on before it, distortion occurs in after two or twenty-two overdubs.

My first looper pedal - very pleased

I had wanted to get a looper pedal for some time, but most of them are not inexpensive, and because I only wanted it for jamming at home, I couldn't really justify the expense.

Well, this tiny looper pedal (takes up so little space on my board) works great, sounds great and costs so little. I'm delighted I got it, and finally have my looper for jamming along with. Excellent.

Best bang for the buck

The unit simply rocks. It is small, lightweight and does very well what is supposed to. It includes even an USB cable to transfer the recorded sound.

The sound is very high quality.

I am very happy with this unit.

Price-wise, it's hard to beat. It's a no-brainer.

Works exactly like it should

Very simple and simple to use...not to mention inexpensive.

I took a star off because the nut that holds the switch was loose. Not really a problem, but it did have to be fixed.

The sound is easily as good as my old B.ss ( 2 channel model. Too much looper for me. Sold it ).

If you're looking for a looper that works just like it's supposed to, I don't see how you could do better.

Amazing for the price but....

this pedal is amazing for its price and i don't think i'll ever regret buying it

that said however it is difficult to use it in a live situation because of its one button set up , to stop a loop you have to hold down the button for rougly 2 seconds , during this time the loop keeps going , which makes it awkward to end a loop in a song.

for home jamming however where such things dont matter this looper is amazing and i have already found that songwriting has become so much easier when i can make rhythm and lead lines to my songs on the fly using the looper.

overall i would personally recommend the looper for anyone but be wary of the one button set up if you wanna take this to a live scenario as it may be tough to use but not impossible.

Great!

I bought this looper primarily to hear multiple guitar parts played over each other easily and quickly. However didn't want to pay the hight cost of its competitors.

The looper is easy to use and comes with simple instructions. The 10 minute recording time is more than adequate and sound quality is not compromised. For the money I would definitely recommend this looping pedal! As a bonus the loopers footprint is very small meaning it's easy to fit onto almost any pedal board!

A very good looper

This is my first try with looper pedales, and I am very happy I got this Harley Benton.

It does everything that other similar mini looper pedals do, but with a longer recording time and the possibility of downloading the loops on your laptop. And for a lower price!

It is a very simple pedal to use. I also love the soft switch, I don't know if all Harley Benton pedals have soft switches. Plenty of loop volume as well. The quality of the audio is perfect, cannot hear any signal degradation or loss of volume.

It is perfect for practicing on riff ideas, it is not a looper for live use, but none of the mini looper pedal really are.

If you want a small footprint pedal, definitely go for this!

Lots of fun!

If you want to experiment with a looper this one is lots of fun and not expensive at all when compared to the competition. However its sound quality and straightforward features make it suitable for both practice and the average gig. Nice find!

Excellent mini looper

I use this looper for practice sessions and noodling.

Works very well and is small enough to fit in my gig bag.

pros:

Great price

Small size

Simple features

Cons:

Not much at this price point

Fun little looper at a good price.

Great simple little looper. All the same control as a ditto. All metal, feels sturdy. Up to 10 minutes! recording time, unlimited overdubs, undo, redo & delete. A nice extra is the sub connection to save/load loops. Only on pc at present and I have a Mac so not been able to use this. Hopefully it will come to Mac also. Not too bothered as I only use it for practice anyway. Recommended.

Excellent practice tool

It's easy to use, incredibly small and incredibly cheap. What's not to love?

As other comments have pointed out, it might not be the best option for live performances, but if you are looking for a simple pedal to throw a chord progression on and play some scales over, this is the one you want! Why pay almost twice the price for a pedal that is essentially the same?

It doesn't affect my guitar tone and is very easy to use. Big recommendation from me.
