Donner Circle Looper and Drum Machine Pedal

The Donner Circle Looper Pedal is far more than a simple looping pedal—it's a complete songwriting, practice, and performance workstation packed into a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Combining a feature-rich looper with a versatile built-in drum machine, it gives guitarists everything they need to build ideas, practise with realistic rhythms, and create layered performances without needing additional gear. At its heart is a high-quality looper capable of recording at 44.1kHz/24-bit resolution, preserving the detail and dynamics of your playing with impressive clarity. Whether you're sketching out song ideas, building complex arrangements, or creating live looping performances, the Circle Looper faithfully captures every nuance.

The pedal supports unlimited overdubs, allowing you to stack rhythm guitars, lead lines, harmonies, percussion, and ambient textures to create rich, evolving performances. Each individual loop can be up to four minutes long, while the generous internal memory provides 40 preset slots with an incredible 160 minutes of total recording time—more than enough for rehearsals, live sets, or a growing collection of musical ideas.

Where the Circle Looper really shines is its integrated rhythm section. With 100 drum grooves covering 10 different musical styles, plus 10 dedicated metronome patterns, it's easy to find the perfect backing for everything from blues, rock, pop, funk, and country to more contemporary styles. It's equally valuable for practising timing, writing songs, or simply making solo practice sessions far more enjoyable. A bright, easy-to-read display provides clear visual feedback, showing loop status, recording cycle duration, and whether the pedal is currently recording, overdubbing, or playing back. The intuitive interface keeps operation straightforward, allowing you to focus on your performance rather than navigating menus.

Whether you're a songwriter capturing inspiration, a solo performer building live arrangements, or a guitarist looking to make practice more productive, the Circle Looper offers an impressive combination of flexibility, sound quality, and ease of use.

At Musicmaker, we're always impressed by gear that encourages players to create more music, and the Circle Looper has all the tools needed to keep the ideas flowing long after the first chord is played.
