Overview
The Loop Core Stereo distills NUX’s decade of looping know-how into a compact, gig-ready powerhouse. Its 32-bit floating-point engine preserves every pick nuance, while a six-hour stereo buffer and 99 memory slots give songwriters room to experiment. The colour TFT display replaces cryptic seven-segment digits with clear bar-graphics and BPM read-outs—great for dark stages.
Performance & Capabilities
Whether you prefer “record-play-dub” or the faster “record-dub-play,” footswitch behaviour adapts instantly. Quantise to internal drums or free-form for ambient looping; a long press performs undo/redo, while double-tap stops playback with optional fade. MIDI I/O opens pro-rig possibilities—sync loops to an Elektron drum machine, trigger stop commands from a MIDI foot-controller, or slave the pedal to Ableton for flawless live sets.
Design & Construction
A powder-coated aluminium chassis shrugs off road abuse, and top-mounted jacks keep patch cables tidy. The encoder doubles as a push-button to set loop and drum levels on the fly, and an inset USB-C keeps firmware updates painless.
Use Cases & Applications
Solo performers can split cab-sim output to the PA while sending guitar to a backline amp; worship musicians loop ambient swells with tempo-locked click; educators leverage one-shot mode to fire backing phrases for students; bedroom players jam silently with headphones—and everyone benefits from instant phrase storage.
What's Included
Loop Core Stereo pedal, quick-start leaflet, NUX warranty card (9 V DC supply and USB cable not included).

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sync loops to an external drum machine?
Yes. Use the MIDI IN connector to receive clock and transport commands from any device that outputs standard MIDI.
Does the pedal store loops after power-down?
All 99 memories are non-volatile—your phrases stay intact until you delete them.
Is there quantise?
Three rec-modes include Auto-Detect and Pre-Beat options that quantise the first down-beat for tight loops.
Can I split guitar and drums to separate amps?
Set the Audio Path to “Split” to send guitar through OUT A and the drum machine signal or cab-sim feed through OUT B.
What kind of power supply do I need?
Any regulated 9 V DC center-negative adapter supplying at least 120 mA.
