I bought this item for my 13 year old granddaughter who loves to play her electric guitar. She is now getting very good and this item is already in use. She loves it.

Hi,
It’s my first looper so don’t have any reverence points here. From my fist impressions, I’m impressed with the looper. After a few try’s it’s easy to use. The quality of the housing is solid as well as so the knots. I could not hear any sound issues. And that all for just 40€. That’s good quality and and an exceptional good price.

Bought this after the review on ‘Bass The World’, and in a Black Friday Deal. Just wanted something as a cheap and cheerful introduction to looping for home use. Was not sure what the quality would be like compared to a similar well known brand that is much more expensive, but it is excellent, certainly for my needs.
…..And now I can play like Victor Wooten ( OK maybe not)

This was purchased for my grandson. Was very quick delivery. He loves it. Nice that we got a free gift too.

This is a great little Looper pedal. It’s simple and easy to use, it has true bypass meaning the sound is not distorted in anyway. It has 3 memories, and the screen on it shows you the loop sequence and is really bright and makes looping so much easier!
I use mine with an acoustic guitar / amp and love it!

Has everything you could reasonably need in a looping pedal.
Three different channels for storing recordings, with each channel able to store a hefty 30 minutes of playback.
Just one button for controlling 'record,' 'stop,' 'dub,' and 'erase' features.
It's got a separate knob for playback volume.
It's got a display screen that shows playback time, so you can keep track of how far along you are in the recording you're playing over.
Plus, it's super compact.
Good, useful features. Strong build. Clean sound.

Does exactly what I wanted. I had it in the wrong place in my chain at first and put it before my MFX pedal (Boss GT1). So don’t do that. Once that was sorted the pedal is nice and easy to operate. Press once to record, press agin when you’ve finished. Has a timer to show where in your loop you are. When you’re ready press the button again for a dub. Long press to undo / redo what you did. Double press to stop. Long press on stop to delete.

So if you are looking for a good quality pedal which is so easy to use then definitely worth going for :)

Delivered promptly. I've never used a loop pedal before and I've been using it for bass and saxophone. Found it pretty simple and logical to use. Obviously you've got to be precise in pushing down the switch with your foot and it takes a bit of practise to get the double click timed right to stop the playback exactly when you want to and not to have it run over the ending of the song/tune.
If I'm using this correctly once you've added a "dub" if you get the dub wrong in anyway you have to clear the whole loop and start again. Only a minor quibble, maybe this facility is available on more expensive pedals, but then again it might make using of this particular pedal too complex. I am a tech' simpleton after all.
Overall I'm really pleased with it and reckon I'm getting reasonably competent doing a bit of multilayering of harmonies on some loops after an hours play on it.. Recommended.

Ordered this last week. Their Circle Looper was sold out so went with this mini in the meantime. Arrived super fast. Been playing with it everyday. Sounds great. Easy to use. Build quality is excellent. My first time using a looper. So much fun. Highly recommend this one.
Steve Baric
pick some chord progressions, and let it run. You’ll love this for both learning and live performance.
Mr. Taylor
A picked this pedal up on the strength of other reviews. I've been impressed with it so far and was just looking for something simple which can overdub. This is really easy to use and understand but I just wish they made the controls a little bigger. The stomp pedal is pretty small but the dial and the memory switch on the top of the pedal are tiny! You could never use this without taking your hand from the guitar. I usually like a pedal you can control with your foot with a bit of practice b

Having toyed with the idea of owning a looper pedal for the longest of times, I finally decided to take the plunge. There are so many loopers out there on the marketplace; all with varying degrees of sophistication and of course, prices to match. The ones I’d seen and read about had loop maximums of 30 or 40 seconds, some slightly more, some less, and then I came across the Donner Triple Looper.
The Donner Looper is about as simple to operate as they get, but what really had me hook, line and sinker, was that, not only did it have three separate recording banks (hence the ‘Triple Looper’) but boasted of unlimited overdubs. With these credentials, and given what I’d gleaned from the specs of other pedals, I was genuinely expecting something in the region of 100 quid. Well, not a bit of it, this wee beauty tips the scales at a penny under 56 quid and I reckoned I’d have been insane not to grab this looper – and so I did.
Power to this pedal is via a 9 volt power supply which is not included in the purchase, but bear in mind that, apart from the low cost of this looper, if you have other pedals then the chances are you already have the power pack and your other pedals are daisy chained together.
This is a true bypass pedal so that when the pedal is off (bypass mode), the signal from the guitar is routed directly to the amp without interference. It is also a very small pedal which in no way detracts from its capabilities as a looper although some might feel, because of its size, that the bank selector switch and the volume output control, are a bit on the tiny side. Me? I just think they’re perfect.
As small as it is, the screen is very readable and definitely bright enough to see even in the dimmest of venues. Entire control of the looper is down to the solitary footswitch and works as follows;
Stomp:
1st Starts loop record
2nd Plays loop
3rd Records overdub
4th Plays loop
By repeating steps three and four you can build up an unlimited amount of overdubs and by applying two rapid clicks you will stop the loop playing, one more click starts the loop playing again.
If during an overdub you should make a mistake, you can undo that overdub by clicking once whilst in play mode and the screen will read ‘UNDO’, if you change your mind and want to reinstate that overdub press the switch one more time and the screen will read ‘REDO’, but remember you must be in play mode for this to happen. If you intend to completely clear out all overdubs from a track you must stop the looper, hold down the switch for 2-3 seconds and the screen should then read ‘EMPTY’.
Travelling around the circumference of the small screen, during playback and overdub, an animated indicator shows you where the loop starts and where it ends. This adds greatly to the accuracy when laying one track on top of another. On any one of the three tracks, which you can select from using the right hand switch, you can have a recording time of thirty minutes, giving you a total of 90 minutes. This is incredible specs for a 56 quid looper especially once you’ve heard the clarity with which this pedal reproduces your sounds.
In summary, this looping game takes a fair bit of practice and I’m getting there, although I don’t think I’ll be showing off my skills with the pedal on stage anytime soon. I’ve been playing guitar as my main instrument for half a century and it’s been a long time since I’ve had this much fun with a pedal.
Go get one, you know it makes sense. Recommended.

Fits great at the end of the signal chain and easy to use
Wachyad
Super easy to use, small, has enough bank space for someone just learning to use Looper pedals or someone on a budget. Very please with this pedal. Looks cool too!
Pablo
I'm very happy with this purchase! It works well, and it is easy to use. Nice first looper!
Luke Woodward
Thoroughly impressed with this unit. This is my first Donner pedal and I would be interested in buying more after this experience. This is a simple looper but has 3 save slots so you can recall loops if needed. I like the size of this on my board (it's even smaller than my tc electronic polytine 2 mini!) and the loop is flawless. I have it immediately after my reverb and I am able to save a 10 second (or whatever) loop of a pad reverb and it will play it and loop it with Nooooo glitch/hiccup. I basically use it as a Freeze with 3 presets.
High quality build and the screen is very easy to see and read when playing standing up in a well lit room.
Everything about this pedal is intuitive and works like you would expec

This is an easy to use, nicely constructed, looper pedal from Donner. It was packaged in a perfectly sized box with a foam packing strip to protect against damage. It comes with an owners manual but you won't need it. Just plug it in, and start playing. It's a solid piece of metal, not plastic, so it will take a good stomping.
It has 3 basic functions - record, dub, and play. I is really simple to use. Another feature is the timer- you know how long the loop is. It goes up to 30 minutes per loop and you can save 3 loops. That should be sufficient for most practice sessions.
Angel P.
Super ease of use, tons of looping time and the level control is the bomb! Well built! Looking forward to get more Donner pedals
Tim T.
This is my first and only pedal. I'm relatively new to guitar but this pedal has forced me to learn about keys, chord progressions, and how pentatonic fits on top or or within them. Instead of just doing scales up and down the neck, I look up online what the I, IV, and V of the key I want to jam over, play those chords and then I have my little jam track to play along with. I've even made my own 'songs' by doing chords on the first layer and then adding a bass line with my low E, then some percussion by muting the strings, and finally I solo on top of that. So much fun! Hours go by like nothing.
I really like the LCD on this model. It helps show you what mode you're in. Having the three different memory banks is cool too.
Only drawback, there's no USB connection so you can't save them to you laptop or desktop. I'm thinking of buying the other Donner pedal that has that capability some time later.
I'd definitely buy this again and some of Donner's other products.

I’d like to think I’m smarter than the average bear, but there’s no better way for me to feel lost than to hand me a looping pedal. Ever since a studio guitarist friend blew me away years ago with the possibilities of a Line 6 JM4, I’ve been looking for something that could unlock new song ideas while not requiring me to take a class at the local JC.
Enter the Donner Triple Looper. It delivers on its promise: three slots into which you can easily overdub to your hearts content.
Select a slot, click the footswitch and you’re recording. Click when you’ve finished your phrase. Click again to dub. Rinse and repeat as desired. (Please note, however, that the slots remain independent. That is, you could have 3 recordings in each of the slots, but you can’t dub, bounce or otherwise move the content from Slot 1 into Slot 3, for example. I really wasn’t expecting to, but with a name like the Triple Looper, some may think that might be in the cards. It’s not.)
Deleting a dub and clearing a slot are accomplished via footswitch “click and hold” operations. Easy peasy. (Sidenote: The action of the footswitch is outstanding: not too stiff, not too loose.)
There’s also a playback volume knob, offering another layer of sculpting possibilities.
Perhaps most importantly, I didn’t hear any discernible clicks or pops when the loop began to repeat. I currently own another looper than cost twice the current price of the Triple Looper, and it pops audibly when engaging the footswitch to record a dub. Indeed, the only time I heard any pop at all is when I “cleared” a slot (which is the same thing as deleting all recorded material from a slot). It was slight, and that was when distortion pedals were engaged. When they were off, I didn’t hear the pop. I also didn’t hear any pops when starting playback, dubbing or stopping playback. As such, I’d give it the thumbs up to use in a live setting.
The user interface is great. The display is not too bright or dim, and it includes a segmented “ring” that lets you know where you are in the course of loop playback. Something of a “visual metronome,” I imagine it’s handy for practicing.
With a metal enclosure, the build quality of the unit seems solid. I only own one other Donner unit (the Yellow Fall, which every guitar player on a budget is contractually obligated to own), but Donner seems interested in creating durable pedals. The Triple Looper is, interestingly, lighter than Yellow Fall. Not sure why I find that surprising.
Finally, I want to point out that the included instructions are easy to follow and actually make sense. I feel like it’s worth mentioning, as I’ve received some electronics items from Chinese manufacturers/distributors that included “instructions” that were laughably indecipherable. Not the case here.
Check out the video for a quick demo to show the unit in action. (Careful listeners will hear a “new mail” notification in the background. Total amateur hour.)

Have been using this for about a month and a half and it has worked flawlessly! The 3 track 30 minute loop times are what sold me on this but as an added bonus the screen, although small, is really nice for tracking the loop time, etc. Well built with a very smooth foot switch and being a mini pedal, it saves space on the board. Very easy to use.

I recently bought and reviewed the Donner Tiny Looper Guitar Effect and really liked it. I already have a Ditto looper, so I gave my Donner away to one of son's friends. Then I see this one on Amazon! It seemed even easier to use than the Ditto or the other Donner, so I gave it a try and it didn't disappoint. It is a single button looper ;ole the other ones, but it solves a number of usability in creative ways: first it will let you store 3 completely separate loops of 30 minutes each. So you could literally use to store a bunch of sound tracks!
- With other loopers it's hard to know when the loop starts and ends, here the visual indicator around the display shows you exactly how far along in the loop you are, and even shows the time in seconds!
- unlimited undo and redo is cool!
- smartly, they use the same clicking patterns as the popular Ditto, so if you already have memorized all the fancy clicking, you won't have to relearn it
- but you don;t have to remember anyway: other loopers rely on LED colors/blinks to remember what mode you are in (dub? play?...) This looper just tells you on the screen!
This is a great product! and in a mini pedal format (I only buy those nowadays)
Samy K.
I just purchased this pedal a few days ago and have to say that I am impressed. No paying for features that you don't need or won't use. This thing is really built well and should withstand most rigors...only time will tell. The sound seems accurate and the 3 memory slots are very useful. I had the 'big name' version of this mini looper and it crapped out after a month. I have two other Donner pedals (and have sold off some others) but overall the quality is great and a good value. If you are looking for a simple, reliable looper, this may be it for you.
Pierre B.
I was looking for a looper and this one not only fit my board but also my budget. I would love a memory man but this is much more my speed. It’s a solid pedal, the switches and volume defiantly scream quality. I do like the display it’s clear and easy to understand. I love the size, it allows me to save space and get even more out of my pedal board! The sound quality is excellent and the adjustable level volume is huge! I also like that it stores the loops even after it’s turned off. Definitely going to look into more donner pedals!
