Ed Sheeran Looper X Review: A $1,300 Looper for Solo Performances
7 reported
Wired reports that Ed Sheeran, who has sold more than 170 million records worldwide, uses the Looper X to perform solo in sold-out arenas. The device is described as a 16-pound flagship model in the Sheeran Loopers lineup, with a 13-by-22-inch footprint and a sturdy plastic-and-metal chassis. It features eight rubberized foot pedals in a four-by-two grid, each with a slight upward-sloping angle to prevent accidental bumps. The Looper X includes a rotary push dial and a touchscreen for menu navigation, along with four XLR-quarter-inch hybrid input jacks and a pair of knobs for main and headphone output volume. A gain knob for the eighth-inch auxiliary input is noted as a throughput that does not route to any looper tracks, which the review calls a frustrating quirk. The device costs $1,300.
