Wow a great announcement from TC Electronic, they have just announced the new Ditto x 2 Looper, so here is a quick first thoughts review. The original Ditto was a fantastic looper with it's simplicity and size. The Ditto X2 looks to add in just enough functionality to make it truly fantastic, but still maintaining ease of use. I personally think the link to Jamtracks is really fantastic addition, and will have a great impact on learning (and playing along live if you want too).Obviously it isn't as fully spec'd as some of the other offerings from Boss, Digitech etc, but I think the strong point is the simplicity of operation and for many guitarists (who aren't full on loopers), it has just the right feature set. I am kind of glad that it doesn't have the awful drum tracks that most of the other offer (maybe a simple click would have been good?). I am sure that will complain about the 5 minutes looping time, but really? I think that is pretty impressive and a good amount of time (remember the early loopers only have seconds! It is the immediacy of looping that TC have targeted here, particularly targeted at the guitarist (well only the guitarist!).All we need now is a new Nova System II, with amp modelling to be the perfect accompaniment...come on TC make my year!
