DISC Vox VDL1 Dynamic Looper Pedal with Free 6m Instrument Cable

Full Description

This product also comes with a FREE Jack - Jack Pro Yarn 6m Instrument Cable.

Two Independent Loop Capability

The VDL1 Dynamic Looper provides two independent loops, with a combined total record time of 90 seconds. Each loop can be stacked with an infinite number of tracks using innovative Sound on Sound recording, with no loss of fidelity. This two-loop design opens up complex and creative techniques, like switching between phrases of different lengths, or containing different chord patterns. It's smooth and easy to record loops. The Auto Recording Start waits for your first note, the metronome gives you a rhythmic guide and the Loop Quantise function uses the tempo to create perfect-length phrases that loop on the beat.

Overdub with Undo and Redo

Try building up impressive loops and performances by overdubbing a new part on to a recorded phrase. Use the undo function to remove the last overdub; the redo feature puts it back.

Pre Effects

Experiment with a varied selection of 11 pre effects. A single effect can offer a clean sound, compressor effect, vintage-feeling overdrive or an aggressive metal distortion and more. Wah and Delay effects are available, as well as more alternative effects such as filter, synth, and even bass and acoustic guitar instrument simulators.

Loop Effects radically transform your recorded phrases

The VDL1 Dynamic Looper's 11 Loop Effect types provide more ways to get creative. Multiple variations of each effect allow the creation of highly original phrases, and the ability to still add to a loop after it has been recorded. There are effects like pitch change and reverse playback, and new effect types such as Loop In Loop, Scrub, and Stutter effects. This looper also boasts three stop modes, clean, delay, and fade, providing more loop playing creativity.

Performance Effects

The Master Limiter offers both a Soft and a Hard setting. The Limiter helps to maintain a consistent level between the original signal and the recorded loop playback, as well as the levels between the two loops. Three Stop effects determine how the loop playback will end, with clean, delay, and fade-out options.

Editable and Preset Programs

The Dynamic Looper offers 100 programs, where a single program contains the settings for the Pre Effect, the Loop Effect, and the pedal assignment. There are 50 preset programs ready to try out. You can create and store up to 50 of your own programs in the user program area, either by editing one of the preset programs or by starting from scratch.

Intuitive Control Pedal

The rugged control pedal can change the input volume, a specified Pre Effect parameter, or a specified Loop Effect parameter in real time. Control Pre Effects whilst recording, then switch it to control the Loop Effect on playback. It's intuitive and easy. Use the Key Lock function, which locks the panels controls whilst maintaining the pedals for error-free performances.

Resample to create even more complex loop phrases

While using the Loop Effect and/or control pedal to modify the loop phrase as it plays back, you can use the Resampling function to re-record the result. Resampling allows the layering of multiple loop phrases and effects. Re-sampling can also be used to create loops of a different length than the previously-recorded loop.

Pre FX Target Mode

Along with the standard instrument input (1/4" unbalanced); the Dynamic Looper is also boasts an XLR input for a dynamic microphone, which has its own trim knob for setting the mic level. The Pre Effect can be set to apply to the instrument input, the mic input or both simultaneously.
