It's Been a Long Time Coming but it was Worth the Wait!

It's about time Ed Sheeran flipped the script on the tired old narrative of loop pedal performance with his signature line of loopers. After what feels like an eternity in the making, Sheeran, the bardic virtuoso who single-handedly rewrote the rules of the live looping game, unveils his long-awaited stompbox.

This is undoubtedly a tectonic shift that will send shockwaves rippling through the very foundations of the looper platform. For over a decade, Sheeran's sonic landscape has been defined by the humble looper pedal, a faithful companion from his earliest days strumming in the shadows to his current reign as a titan of the global stage. This is a Looper that can do it all.

Given Sheeran's longtime allegiance to Boss Loop Stations before crafting his bespoke unit, many expected a collaboration with the Japanese juggernaut to expand their existing looper formats. Anyone who's glimpsed more than a moment of Sheeran in action knows: he's a maestro of loop pedals, a veritable "Super Looper". In 2017, when skeptics accused him of "miming" during live shows, Sheeran set the record straight: "everything I do in my live show is live, it’s a loop station, not a backing track."

The Sheeran Looper + epitomises the evolution of potent and portable dual-track looping pedals. It integrates Ed Sheeran's distinctive looper workflow, robust die-cast aluminum pedals fit for the grandest stadium stages, and a user-friendly 1.8” color screen complemented by an RGB LED loop status ring for convenient performance feedback. Developed in close collaboration with Ed and his production team, the Looper + leverages custom DSP powered by HeadRush® to ensure top-tier audio quality and a plethora of connectivity options, making it a versatile choice for street busking, studio sessions, or live performances.

Step into a realm of endless creativity with the Looper +, where two pedals unlock infinite possibilities. Engineered with the same premium die-cast pedals employed on Ed Sheeran's arena-sized looper setup, these pedals are meticulously designed for optimal dimensions and spring pressure, guaranteeing consistent and effortless operation, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your looping performance. Effortlessly manage track recording, overdubbing, playback, and stopping status, utilizing hold functionality for seamless undo/redo and loop clearing. Enhance your control options by linking an optional external single or dual footswitch and/or MIDI controller for assignable feature control, including soloing, track muting, reverse playback, 1/2 speed playback, and fading loops in and out.

Streamline your looping experience with the Sheeran Looper +, which boasts storage for up to 128 loops, offering over 3 hours of total onboard storage time. When connected to a Mac or PC, the Looper + acts as a plug-and-play USB storage device, enabling effortless loop transfer via drag-and-drop, eliminating the need for additional software installation and simplifying the process of sharing your musical creations with the world.
