At Guitar World, we're always on the lookout for the coolest gear that adds a touch of magic to our musical creations. As musicians ourselves, we frequently dive into the world of looper pedals to add to our live shows and enhance our practice regimen. If you’re planning on using the loop station for live performances, then I also recommend using the power supply. This will ensure that your loop station doesn’t run out of power in the middle of a performance, and is also convenient for powering your other pedals.

To curate our list of top looper pedals, we've meticulously researched and tested a variety of loopers to find the ones that deliver the ultimate looping experience with style and flair. We combine our real-world experience, meticulous research, and insightful discussions with our editorial team to put together the best looper pedals available today.
