collapse expand iconDescription

The Sheeran Looper X multi-track looper workstation is the ultimate tool for songwriters and performers looking to expand their creative looping potential. Designed by Ed Sheeran and his production team, the Looper X allows you to build complex multi-track loops with up to four simultaneous stereo tracks. It features an intuitive 7" touchscreen interface that makes operation fast and easy. You can also import and sync external loops seamlessly, as well as take advantage of five versatile performance modes to suit any musical need. Powered by premium HeadRush DSP, the Looper X gives you a suite of built-in effects to add polish and depth to your loops. The rugged stage-ready design boasts precision-engineered aluminum pedals forged to withstand night after night of flawless operation.

Craft Intricate Loops With Four Stereo Tracks

The Looper X allows you to layer up to four stereo tracks simultaneously, giving you the flexibility to build intricate, evolving loops. Each track can be controlled independently so you can start and stop loops as needed. Whether you're a solo performer or playing with a full band, the four tracks provide enough capacity to loop multiple instruments and vocals. The lack of loop length limitations also means you can create extended progressive arrangements. Every nuance you record will come through in stunning clarity thanks to the Looper X's class-leading audio quality.

Navigate Intuitively With the 7" Touchscreen

The Looper X features an ultraresponsive 7" multi-touch display that makes operation intuitive and efficient. Familiar gestures like swiping and dragging make editing a breeze. Key parameters like track levels and effects are easily accessible. The touchscreen also eliminates complicated menus and cramped screens. Additionally, the virtual keyboard simplifies naming tracks and sessions. Every function is optimized for fast real-time use, allowing you to focus on your performance instead of technical details.

Sync Loops Seamlessly With Intelligent Features

Importing and syncing loops is effortless with the Looper X's intelligent features. It can auto-detect tempos of imported .WAV and .MP3 files and stretch them to match your current loop tempo. You also get tap tempo capabilities with time-stretching algorithms to lock in the perfect groove. The Looper X ensures everything stays in sync so you can concentrate on performing. External MIDI devices can also control the Looper X, providing even more creative flexibility.

Discover New Ideas in Five Creative Modes

The Sheeran Looper X offers five unique looper modes to enhance your creative workflow. Multi Mode mimics Ed Sheeran's own four-track looper, with synchronized global loop lengths perfect for songwriting and layering. Sync Mode provides independent loop lengths that stay automatically synced. Song Mode lets you create distinct verse and chorus sections. Band Mode includes a click track. With specialized modes for different applications, the Looper X makes it easy to discover fresh musical ideas, hone your technique and create pro-level arrangements.

Sonic Excellence With Premium FX and I/O

Equipped with class-leading audio quality and a suite of built-in effects powered by HeadRush, the Sheeran Looper X takes your sound to the next level. Dial in rich reverbs, choruses, delays and more to add polish and depth. You also get flexible connectivity for integration into any rig. Import/export loops via USB or SD card, integrate MIDI control or utilize the audio inputs and outputs. For inspired performances and professional-grade looping, the Sheeran Looper X is the ultimate creative tool.

Built Ready for the Stage

The Looper X features a rugged stage-ready design to withstand the demands of live performance night after night. It has a tough steel chassis and die-cast aluminum pedals modeled after Ed Sheeran's own stage pedalboard. The pedal surfaces are optimally angled for comfort and control. Oversized RGB LED rings provide visual feedback even in bright stage lighting. The Looper X is built to deliver flawless operation tour after tour. Bring professional looping capabilities to your live shows with confidence.
