MXR Clone Looper Pedal

Whether you’re practicing at home, captivating audiences with improvisational compositions onstage, or weaving intricate sonic tapestries in the studio, the Clone Looper Pedal has you covered. Packed into a standard MXR housing that’s built like a tank, it’s easier to use and delivers higher fidelity signal reproduction than any other looper of its type—hands down. This pedal can be powered by the included Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter, or the Iso-Brick, and Mini Iso-Brick power supplies (not included). The MXR Clone Looper Pedal is highly engineered for incredible sound quality, comes packed with features in a pedalboard-friendly housing, and can be as simple or complex as your needs dictate. Everything you expect from an MXR pedal, in other words. Whether you're practicing at home, captivating audiences with improv compositions onstage, or weaving intricate sonic tapestries in the studio, the Clone Looper Pedal has you covered. Just plug in, power up, and start recording an unlimited number of layers—up to 6 minutes long—that will be stored even when the pedal is off. A super convenient LED gives you a flashing 4 count to the beginning of the loop so you can keep your overdubs tight. Loops can be stopped and started in an instant, and your most recent layer can be undone just as fast. Run effects to your heart's content—with storage sample rates up to 88.2kHz, so this little box will handle even high-gain distortion with ease. To keep your pre-loop signal intact, the MXR team also included an analog through-path. On top of that, the Clone Looper Pedal can be set for either buffered bypass or true bypass switching to accommodate your tone and signal needs. The Clone Looper Pedal also comes packed with options for sonic explorers, from changing up the speed of your loop—to double-speed (3 minutes of recording time) or half-speed (12 minutes)—to reversing it entirely. Connecting an MXR Tap Tempo Switch to the CTR jack allows you to control all of these functions externally. The EXP jack provides further external control options when you connect a DVP volume pedal to adjust the loop's output level or an MXR Tap Tempo Switch to engage Play Loop Once mode, which allows you to pull off smooth live performances and re-trigger your loop over and over again for DJ-style stutter effects. Pedalboard-friendly and built like a tank, the Clone Looper Pedal is easier to use and delivers higher fidelity signal reproduction than any other looper of its type—hands down. External Controls REC/DUB Footswitch controls loop recording and clear loop quickly functions VOLUME Knob controls output level, loop speed, loop direction and clear loop quietly functions PLAY/STOP Footswitch controls loop playback and undo/redo functions CTR Jack allows tap switch to control loop speed, loop direction, and clear loop quietly functions EXP Jack allows expression pedal to set output level or tap switch to engage Play Loop Once mode Power The Clone Looper™ Pedal is powered by the Dunlop ECB003 9-volt adapter or the DC Brick™, Iso-Brick™, and Mini Iso-Brick™ power supplies. This pedal cannot be powered by a battery. USE AN EXPRESSION PEDAL TO CONTROL LOOP VOLUME Connect an expression pedal such as the DVP Volume (X)™ Pedal to the M303’s EXP jack with a TRS cable. Use the rocker to adjust loop volume. This will disable the VOLUME knob.To reenable the VOLUME knob after disconnecting the expression pedal, simply twist the VOLUME knob past 12 o’clock twice. USE A TAP SWITCH TO PLAY LOOP ONCE Connect an MXR Tap Tempo Switch to the M303’s EXP jack with a mono cable. To initiate Play Loop Once mode, tap the switch. The green PLAY/STOP LED will flash until the loop ends. Tapping the switch at any time during the loop’s duration will retrigger the loop, allowing for a stuttering effect. After Play once has been engaged, you can press and hold the Tap switch for 3 seconds to disarm the Play Once mode and return to regular play mode. The green play LED will stop flashing go back to a solid steady state indicating play once is now off. USE A TAP SWITCH TO CONTROL VOLUME KNOB’S PUSH FUNCTIONS Connect an MXR Tap Tempo Switch to the M303’s CTR jack. You can now use the tap switch to control the speed and direction of the loop as well as clear the loop quietly. TRUE BYPASS MODE The M303 uses buffered bypass switching by default. To enable true bypass switching, press and hold the VOLUME knob while powering up the pedal.
