TC-Helicon Ditto Mic Looper Pedal for Vocals and Acoustic Instruments

TC-Helicon Ditto Mic Looper Pedal for Vocals & Acoustic Instruments

The TC-Helicon Ditto Mic Looper is a two-button vocal and acoustic instrument looper built around balanced XLR microphone connections. It provides up to five minutes of loop recording, unlimited overdubs, undo and redo control, intelligent microphone gain, 24-bit uncompressed audio, and a dedicated Stop footswitch for precise live looping.

Singers, beatboxers, percussionists, horn players, and acoustic musicians can build layered arrangements without navigating menus or adjusting multiple controls. The Loop footswitch handles record, playback, and overdub functions, while the separate Stop switch provides immediate loop stopping and clearing. A large Loop Level control adjusts recorded-loop playback independently from the direct microphone signal.

A low-noise microphone preamp and always-active phantom power support compatible dynamic and condenser microphones. Balanced XLR input and output connections integrate directly with microphones, mixers, and vocal-processing chains. Mic Control compatibility provides remote operation from supported microphones, while the Mini-USB connection supports firmware functions. The rugged die-cast metal enclosure and rubberized base suit regular stage, rehearsal, and studio use.
