The Looper provides an immediate background that I have devised instead of using other people's backing tracks. I've never had that before. What a welcome change.

Great look and well-built. Works well at setting a rhythm to lay lead over. I have to try it more to say more.

I have used other players loopers but now I have my own haven’t plug in in yet

Crisp recorded sound upon playback/dub.
30min rec. time in 3 banks.
Great pedal.
Michel D.
Great unit! And it works with a microphone! Looping with wind instruments

Preformed exactly as I hoped. The Donner Triple Looper is a must for every bedroom rockstar.
Devin M.
Great for working on solos.

Been after a looper for a while, got this for Father's day. Initially experienced some unwanted sound but swapped adapters and that disappeared. Having never used one before I found the learning process was easy and intuitive, it's a quality product which I would recommend to any guitarist. Get one, you won't be disappointed.

Well, I ordered it,payed for it, it still hasn't shown up yet, and when I asked about it, I was told it was lost and I should take care of it! Hmmm. But I'm sure it's a good pedal.

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.

Pretty good pedal. I bought 2. One for bass and one for guitar.

I just got mine today and used it for hours. Great sound. The recording sounds just like the real thing. And 30 minutes x 3 different channels is more then enough time!. I would buy it all over again. Another thing is the craftsmanship is about as good as any pedal I have ever owned. I will be looking at more dinner pedals.

I was really excited to get this pedal at a cheap price. When I got the pedal I immediately hooked it up. I was disappointed to find out that I had no power supply. However I ordered a power adapter that was also not bad on price and was soon jamming away. However, I soon found out that the connections for the power were janky. They kept cutting out and off and on so.. a little bit of tape and some good securement and now she works fine for the price and somewhat ease of use I'm pretty happy. On a brighter note I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the loop has a lot of memory meaning that my loops can be longer and not have to be like 15 seconds which is nice.

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.)

I have played w/ the Triple Looper for a few weeks now. I really like it and had some fun with it. I can see this pedal really helping me improve as a guitar player, allowing me to create my own "backing tracks". Now, two items I want to make you aware of: 1) Once the pedal is powered, it is on. The foot switch does not turn it on or off. I spent some time figuring that one out!! And 2) You will need to work on the volume between the first recording and any dubs you add. I am still working on that. The first loop always seems to be loudest. But, if you need a looper, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this one.

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.

Great little pedal perfect for writing and working out licks

Super ease of use, tons of looping time and the level control is the bomb! Well built! Looking forward to get more Donner pedals
The Donner Triple Looper is designed to meet customer’s looping needs in a simple and small form factor.
