Donner sent me this looper and I'm honestly shocked, IT'S PRETTY DAMN GOOD!
The features are there, the sounds are good and most importantly, it's affordable, not affordaboard affordable but still, its the price of most one button one knob finger sized loopers.. Am I missing something here? Is this as good as I think it is?

This has become my favorite pedal because it's so much fun... that I'm playing daily now. That right there, makes it worth every dime! Thanks for the Vid... it kept me from having to read a boring manual!
It sounds like it has all the features of the Boss RC-5 but at half the price - cheaper even than the RC-1. The Boss has a few advantages - 99 storage banks vs 40 with this, and 13 hrs total storage vs 160mins, but overall it seems very comparable.
At first I was annoyed you didn't know how the pedal worked before making the video, but slowly realized that's actually a good way to do it...we get to learn as you learn it... pretty brilliant!
Nice job Ryan - great demo and loved the surf sounds!
I hope you use this in all your future videos when you demo stuff now! Playing along to something is always a million times more fun!
Great video sir! I’ve just ordered one of these based purely on the amount you enjoyed this pedal. Excellent stuff!
0:50 the face of a man having a good time
The look in your eyes when you selected metal at 4:53. I am getting this looper tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to review this looper.
Dude that was a great review and awesome playing, you made up my mind on this pedal! great job
Great demo, seems like a really good value pedal. You know it's good when you start feeling yourself and get super creative like that!
Great demo Ryan. This was fun!
some of the best demos on youtube we see all the options keep up the great work and playing
Once again showing me stuff I NEED TO HAVE!!! I ordered one of these just now. Can't wait to get it. ( I also bought a Cuvave Fuzz, when you reviewed that.
nice looper. and I like the idea of a looper shoot-out, being someone who was considering a looper for the first time. also that surf jam in there and that ending are both on fire.
Just sold me one . Can't wait for it to get here. I can see it being a great addition for my small setup to keep me playing while I'm away on business and a great addition for my main board back home
Take note....it does auto save. And you can easily change tempo of all the drum presets via tap or direct bpm entry...which is handy for synching tempo with other rhythm devices.
Both rotating knobs are 3 way press knob to change bpm, style, volume (drum side) / memory, volume, fade out time (looper side)...its a great value.
Got mine new for $80...use it every day.
Question about the Donner Circle- If I'm recording/dubbing in say Memory slot 1 and it's playing back, am I able to then record to memory slot 2 while 1 is playing?
Love that Jazz Master. Thanks so much for making this video, I'm buying one of these things right now! I can see how something like this could really help expand your playing and practice time.
That tune you were playing with the dance beat was dope!
that jazzmaster is just too beautiful damn
Great unbox/review.
Just bought a spark and think this will be the perfect addition.
Great review, liked how much fun you were having. I never really liked the name "drum buddy', so couldn't even consider that one. This one, yes!
Great demo, review and playing … sounds great.
I am interested in this pedal and I have never heard you jam like that. You should do that more often 👏
Ordered one of these today based off of your review and the amount of fun you had. £78 delivered . Can’t argue with that !
amazing review Ryan. This thing is a game changer
Thanks! Just ordered one🎉
That's pretty cool. I was searching for a drum pedal. But this is way better. I've already got the Donner Dark Mouse and Donner Yellow Fall and love those. So I think I'm gonna order this one too. Or do you have something else to recommend? Thank you for making the videos. I love them.
No rude and nasty comments today. That seems to be a great looper for the price! You having fun with it just made me want it even more. Great Job, Ryan!
Awesome review! Thanks!
I really enjoyed your review on this pedal. I'm waiting for mine to arrive now. They had it marked down for Amazon Day.
I still use mine often. its pretty great imo.
Great video - thanks for sharing!
Thanks man for your review, very helpful! What about the sound quality of the looper? Is it pro for recordings for example if I output one line to the sound interface?
Does it have any latency? Thanks bro
Great video Ryan. Love your content.
I think this is one of the best looper pedals I've seen, and I don't mean "best for the price ". It truly sounds great compared to some more advanced and pricey units I've experienced. Anyway thanks for the great video and keep on keeping on.
Cheers from Alberta, Canada. David.
YES!!! Circle Looper's beats per minute sync "close enough" so we can easily hit the looper button and the loop "quantizes" or stops on the bar, or close enough it does NOT hiccup and get further off with each loop cycle (on some Beat Buddy beats ONLY, because Beat Buddy beats get recorded with human drummers, so they too are not as accurate as digital. Who cares? Record the Beat Buddy into the loop! TAKE NOTES OF CIRCLE LOOPER DRUM AND TEMPO for your loops, in case you need to recreate, or move slots. Seems circle looper's software handles the metadat about its beats and tempo, so write things down to edit .WAV loops in Audacity for loundess, EQ, etc. and import new WAV files into the clooper. Circke Looper uses 24 bit, and Boss RC-3 uses 16 bit, so pay attention when you edit/export/save/create the file in Audacity, for example. I love my Circle Looper! I did cover the looper button with a cap to avoid mistakenly hitting it during a step to Stop, which avoids going into Record mode and polluting your backup loop.
Ryan your face was a picture when you clicked onto the Metal drum beats, nearly as bad as mine!! Really good review and ideal for musicians who want and need a looper with beats, makes a great practice tool.
your actually having fun playing with it !!!
Bought mine a week ago. Very satisfied, for me I never used that fade out it's pointless, and the screen is quite small compared to the pedal. Also I'd like to have an overall output control along with the level and volume control for each looper and drum machine cause even at 1 some drums are still too loud for my environment and the looper section.
Rowin beat loop
Pretty sure I saw in another vid that you can change the volume of the drum beat.
Would love to see the review when you get your head around the looper great review thanks just bought one of these
I'm really liking this thing. Like you pointed out, there's a lot there for $90! I really like the BPM counter and the visual loop so you see how long your loop is. The drums are way better than the rhythm in my Boss RC3 and I just have to guess with tap tempo. The more I see of this Circle Looper, the more I'm thinking of getting it.
Are you still living it? I bought my son one for Christmas.... really thinking about buying myself after revisiting this vid.
Love it! That fuzz at the end is nasty 🤘
Real men don't read instructions. We just struggle for 3 months trying to work the bloody thing out!

😂😂😂
Same here!
Same here but I’m a girl 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rtfm if you value being an adult over whatever people mean by "being a man" these days 🙄
Excellent - loved the Link wray
I really like and appreciate the manner in which you review this product. As an excitable and enthusiastic but slightly rubbish guitar player, I’ve been looking at this type of product for some time, but was getting the impression that this was far too technical a gadget for me.
But your review was very very good - and my confidence grew. So now I’m thinking, for about £90 it’s probably worth a punt.
Diolch yn fawr {in Welsh]
In english thank you very much
Seriously considering it. Will use your link when ready
Out of stock!
Entertaining video. What model Jazzmaster? Sounds great.
Great Review! Thank you for showing us the way "MOST" of just tear open the box and plug it in and start clicking. I have one and I love it! WHAT IS THAT GOLD S TYPE HANGING OVER YOUR RIGHT SHOUDER?????????? I believe I need that color gold in my life!!!!!
I just got one of these yesterday - having a blast with it - it didn't come with a 9v AC adapter, which I had to go out and purchase.
Loopers are fun and great for live playing but my Zoom R24 is the best for looping ideas. It has 24 tracks and they all can be looped, you can program your own drums on the included drum machine or use the presets, you can apply effects to your loops and then you can import it all into your daw and it is all in time and ready to produce. My frustration with loopers is that I get these cool loops and then I can't manipulate the individual parts.
Quite cool, but the R24 is ~$500, even the R8 is ~$300, the Circle Looper is ~$100, personal preference I guess
@@choppytde6030 The R24 is a songwriter's best friend, I own 3, but yes they are pricey.
For the price of the R24 you could easily get a used ipad, a fitting audio interface, all the looper and drum apps you could dream of, AUM, Cubasis (DAW) and maybe find a midi foot switch if you really dig the pedal experience
Your saying that your 500 dollar looper is better that the 100 dollar looper? Who would have thought?!?
@@wentle1985 Ok, unfair comparison but if you want to develop loops into songs quickly and easily it´s a good investment.
Nice! Love the jam at about 16min!
Hey brother, how did you get that awesome bass sound on your guitar? A separate pedal?
Great video!
the look on your face when the drums and loop didn't sync. Priceless. I think that as a drum accompaniment this is pretty great for the price.
Very good review! Enjoyed it a lot. I am working on something with Donner Pedal for upcoming videos...good stuff now I know I want this...SUBBED by the way
Thanks for the video! Question; can you speed up or slow down BPM OF the loops?
Groovy daddio...Good job mate!
Dang I need one of those. My Ditto is limited and getting old. Donner has got some cool pedals and guitars for the $.
Great demo Ryan. Quick question, can you adjust the drum tempo? I see there's a tap feature on the bottom left foot switch; is it for that?
yes you can, you push in the drum knob to get the the time control.
@@60CycleHumcast Thanks! Just ordered one.
I bought the cheaper donner looper three weeks ago. You just sold me on this upgrade, amazing value.
Same, i got the triple looper for just 30 bucks, but being able to sync loop length to a certain bpm is definitely worth the extra 60 bucks
I bought an entire pedal board (7) for 80 bones. This was included. Learning it now! Nice vid
Tell me more, tell me more 🎶
Dude, I want one of these now!!!
His face when that Metal loop came on! 🤘🏼😂
Been using mine for a week or so. I had their other deluxe one and it would freeze every once in a while but so far this one has been solid. Has non standard time signs too.
Anyone know if the import and export function allows for import of drum tracks or is that only import in relation to the looper side of things I.e., your own guitar parts?
So, I may or may not buy one of these loopers... but this guy who did a demo? Big fan :)
That's quite the collection behind you. What is that one possible seafoam color with like 6 knobs on it?
0:20, thanks for making me play scarified.
Does this have an internal flux capacitor? If so, I will being buying it.
Haha I got this thing a day ago, hooked it up late last night totally boomered out on the controls, nice to see a young feller ALSO boomering out. Kinda impressed with the pedal, using it with another new arrival, the IK Uno Synth Pro. However, seriously digging your guitar chops, man not bad for a ginger, kidding of course, but I’m subscribing just for this one video.
I’m on a looper hunt This seems like a very cool looper to own Still hunting. But I kinda like this. Thank you for the demo bro
Would you like to plug this right after hx stomp into interface? Please! Please, I really want to know how much better the tone of drums would be line out. I've got my L6 xt pro setup and need this kind of tool but in not sure if I want to buy it blindly
I'm interested in buying one of these for improv work in live performance -- do you think this will be good in a live setting? x
That over-dub is sweet.
how do you shut it off? you have to turn off the power to it? very good video, I just got one for Christmas and I learned quite a bit here. butttt!!! How does it shut off?😃
Does it quantize such that if your footwork is off by a few milliseconds, it will round to the nearest bar?
Donner makes some good pedals. I bought the White Tape pedal and had a great time playing with the delay. I just wish I had a second amp so I could use the stereo function. Sadly, we had a roach infestation and the pedal quit working. There needs to be a way to plug the excess holes so that doesn't happen. Still, I want another one if I can't get this one repaired.
Looks like an affordable option for the feature set. Where in the pedal chain would this be best? My amp does not have a loop chain (that might be a future upgrade) ; I haven't used a looper before, but I have a o/d and a distortion pedal. Would this fit best after the distortion pedal ? I've read articles that seem to conflict; either at the start of the signal path and at the end. My thought was at the end. What would be your suggestion ?
I always put a looper at the end of my pedalboard
6:52 Ryan getting his Snoop Dre thing on 😂 I like it 😜
You officially mastered jazz
U mean he played the wrong note twice?
Anyone has been able to use the software? I connect it via usb but nothing happens, it just says no device detected.
You can also upload your songs to your pc using the usb chord
have you tried MG-100 looper and if what would you suggest between these two
What's on the floor board? Stock vibrato system on that JM? Thank you.
First time I've seen this guy, what a legend!
The Donner looper is big blast in a small box, what is the beach boys style effect in the video?
I like your retro-surf vibe!!...
Never went to amazon so fast to buy something, that was a great demo! Thank you Ryan!
having a pre-record lead-in is what all loopers should frickin have !
So with the stereo in and out, will it let you run a bass in to the looper and out to a separate bass amp? Or keys to it's own amp, or a different guitar into a different rig?
It has separate left and right stereo inputs and outputs. So yes, you could do what you are saying, using the left and right channels as two mono tracks.
Can this be used solely for the drums in conjunction with my BOSS rc 30 loop station ?
So does it all run to your guitar amp? Also where in the chain do you put this so that effects don't mess with the drums?
I personally like effects on drum loops i have 2 loopers putting them on both ends of my chain if i want something effected or not. Being at the very beginning will effect everything and the very end you will retain clean drums
Your face when the metal drum loop played :D :D
Nice presentation. You sold me ;-)
This is my first pedal. I have been playing acoustic for about 2 years.
Is there any way to load up country, bluegrass/ Irish drum beats ?
I freaking love this looper it's exactly what I've been looking for. I have the boss rc1 and it's way too limiting, I'm selling it and buying this
Your surf guitar playing is off the hizzy!
Hi ryan how do i send you an ad to feature on the podcast? I found this weird 70’s fender bronco that i think you’d really love
11/17 1:41pm central.
just looked it up. Out of stock on Amazon and $150 and up on Reverb.... bummer...
Really love it though!
Kinda old but does anyone know how this compares to the Flamma FS01 ? Same price range and seems very similar.
Bought one. Now I can play guitar after everyone else perishes in the apocalypse, until my glasses break that is.
I got mine but for some reason guitar is very muted when run through the pedal…have to turn drum level down to like 4 with volume pot all the way up on the guitar…what am I doing wrong?
Using 9v 300mA
Hello! Can you tell me how to switch the Donner Circle on and off! Thank you
I bought the donner tiny looper that had the slow mo switch and it had a big delay at the end of each loop that was impossible to work with. I think I just got a bad one but really want to find another cheapo.
You could check out the Melo Audio looper pedal, similar price and same tiny size. I've had one for about a month and it's great.
