Wow, are these developers really taking requests for new features? This could be what I'm looking for. What i'd like is a device that was always plugged into your audio chain, always on, always waiting as you play, waiting for that next inspired moment. If you've heard of the SP-404, then you'll have heard of its 'skip-back mode'. I am looking for something like this but able to loop more than a 40 second beat. 20 minutes minimum would better suit a musician playing to find his muse. That transition from muscle memory, to 'out of body'. when you find yourself playing something inspired this device would allow you to press record and retrospectively capture that already passed moment. The last 5 mins, the last 10, the last 15, the last 20 mins. Each of those buttons could be used to save any of those time frames for later recall and exploration. Ableton Live does something similar with its midi 'Capture' , so why not here, for audio? This looper would then suit musicians everywhere, any and all. Beyond the loop, a template for that next song. that groove you'll never recreate, that progression that came out of nowhere only to disappear as you pressed record. Tag. Capture, don't interrupt the flow.
I searched every where on out to load backing tracks onto the unit. it took hours to work out as no where on the internet, convert backing track to 44100hz - 32 bit - stereo (doesn't work in mono). You know if it has been successful due to the track number on the display will turn from blue to red. I am using it for a backing track player with a simple cc midi player. it works really well, however don't forget to save any changes to volume, one shot etc by pressing the save button twice when prompted.
Cool product. Looping is something I've had good mileage out of and had quite a bit of live experience with. For me I find single footswitch loopers difficult to use. Having to double tap to stop, when singing and playing is just beyond my brain capacity! That said, this has a lot going for it. I'd really like the ability to load a pre saved loop and then live loop over it, as this can do. TC Electronic make something very similar, but again they put that technology in to their mini looper not the x2 with the dual footswitches! Why?!!! They were so close to perfection! The 1st company to give me access to live looping over the top of pre-saved patterns/loops, on a looper with dual footswitches, gets my money!
Oooh now that’s a thought, I do like the idea of dual door switches, the whole double tap thing is a little awkward for me, especially being a novice player, more seasoned players wouldn’t care I guess, cheers!
@@DerekPaulGuitar Nah man, it's awkward for everyone. I know guys who do the loop thing as one of their main gigs and they wouldn't use a single switch looper either. It's fiddly in a live environment. There are no do-overs when you cock up a loop playing live! Ha!
What I really want is a stereo looper that lets me crossfade between the loop and live. The Elektron Octatrack can do it, but that's over my budget at the moment, plus I want something battery powered and compact. Guess that's what microcontrollers are for.
@@DerekPaulGuitar By the way, does it quantize? Another thing, I want to put it at the end of my pedalboard, which as already an amp/cab simulation, and listen from the headphone output. Will I get a faithful recreation of the sound of my pedalboard or maybe colored? Thank you so much Derek. Keep doing the good stuff!
It got to the Metal beats & sounded real good, then all it had top do was drop the snare to half time to be heavier ...........instead it went to R&B lol
Does the new NUX Loop Core Stereo Looper work with the NUX NMP-2 Dual Foot Switch? This would greatly improve the versatility and ease of use for this new looper. The original NUX Loop Core does work with the NMP-2 footswitch, but I don't see a CTR IN input for this new stereo looper.
I can find no info from NUX or from videos, manuals etc. of what the MIDI functions are. I need to to sync the units clock to link with another Drum machine with Midi out and In
It receives MIDI only for purposes of changing settings on the looper. Page 13-14 of the manual. I don't think you can sync clocks with this looper. That would require the looper to send MIDI back to the drum machine as well.
Is the volume adjustable on the drum tracks? My big complaint about the original Loop Core was that I could not turn the drums down enough; at like 50% volume they would just turn off, so I either got really loud drums, or no drums at all. Hopefully this new one fixes it...
The Nux Loop Core falls short of being the sole looper I require. Firstly, it lacks a reverse playback feature, or at least it wasn't evident. Additionally, it doesn't offer the capability to record distinct parts for later editing, unlike the Singular Sound Aeros looper. The true revolutionary leap in looper pedals will occur when loopers apps such as Loopy Pro or Loopy HD iOS are made compatible with pedals, and perhaps Poly effects Beebo's customisable looper is closer to that than any other. For simplicity though yeah a pedal with drums isn't bad... just it doesn't inspire me that much, and you didn't demonstrate any other time signatures, other than 4/4.
I actually got it working great with my airtep midi control pedal, pleasantly surprised! I set it up so I can go up and down in the banks and turn the drums on and off, you can control any aspect of the pedal@@DerekPaulGuitar
Thank you for the video. Just looking for clarification on bit specs. Is this 24 bit in mono and 32 bit in stereo. I can't find this info anywhere. ? Thanks
Not necessarily, you’ll just get a cleaner signal path if your effects go through the FX loop, many people in clueing my self just run in in front of the amp and before or after the overdrive pedals depending on what you want to loop, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar thanks. I don't use any pedals at all. Have a blackstar Silverline special.. So running the crunch channel and reverb etc, with the loop pedal straight from the guitar to input won't distort the drum loop to the max ? Sorry to be annoying... thanks
Not annoying at all! If you can run the looper through and effects loops then it’ll be a better result, but running it in front of the amp will just act like your guitar signal and whatever effects you have running on the amp will be applied to the loop if that makes sense, cheers
Good point! I could t see it either, but NUX pedals usually are and it’s a standard thing these days, having said that it was noiseless when not in use, cheers
Nice one again DP. NUX killing it with this looper
Thanks dude!!! Some great stuff from NUX!
Love the relaxed, friendly way you do these vids. And all within a reasonable timeframe. BTW, that Ibanez does not sound too shabby, either.
Thank you! I really appreciate that! Yeah it’s still a great little guitar!
What a massive setup from their Hook looper. And for only a little more money.
It’s an amazing thing!
give me a stop button

This looks killer! I’m liking the NUX stuff… I have the MG-400 and love it!
It’s absolutely incredible! And the MG400 is a great piece of gear, Thanks for watching!
The Ibazez AS-73 is THE BEST bang for the buck 335 style guitar ever IMO! I've had a couple over the years.
It really is!!! Love that thing! Cheers!

Haha yes! Once that looks locked in live… it’s there!!! You gotta be good with it, it took me a few tries to get the video done lol!
Did you have a look at the BOSS RC-500? This has three configurable footswitches, two tracks, 99 loops, drum machine, MIDI, ...
What I really want is a stereo looper that lets me crossfade between the loop and live. The Elektron Octatrack can do it, but that's over my budget at the moment, plus I want something battery powered and compact. Guess that's what microcontrollers are for.
That looks a lot of looper for the money. I admit I got a looper and haven't fogured it out yet. Sounding good D.
Thanks for watching and the comment! It is a lot of looper!
Does it have the feature of automatically process the tempo of my loop to match a drum pattern, just like the precedent models? Thanks
As far as I remember yes! It has sync matching
@@DerekPaulGuitar By the way, does it quantize?
Another thing, I want to put it at the end of my pedalboard, which as already an amp/cab simulation, and listen from the headphone output. Will I get a faithful recreation of the sound of my pedalboard or maybe colored?
Thank you so much Derek. Keep doing the good stuff!
I don’t think it quantises but you should get a faithful reproduction of the sound on your board! Cheers!
How does it compare to the loopcore deluxe? Can you do a comparison?
Yes, nice but to stop you always have to press the button twice!..I don't like it !!
It's like that on most one-switch pedals. Two-switch pedals take up a ton of room on a board.
That’s exactly why I didn’t buy it
I have the Boss RC5 which has an input for a foot switch so I can stop with one tap
It got to the Metal beats & sounded real good, then all it had top do was drop the snare to half time to be heavier ...........instead it went to R&B lol
Sucks that this doesn't have midi out
Is it "True bypass" when the looper is off ?
Yes it’s true bypass when off, thanks for watching

It’s a good question and I’m not sure! Maybe someone will pitch in with the answer!
You may control this looper via MIDI. I dont't see a socket for a regular footswitch. In the manual only MIDI is mentioned.
I can find no info from NUX or from videos, manuals etc. of what the MIDI functions are. I need to to sync the units clock to link with another Drum machine with Midi out and In
It receives MIDI only for purposes of changing settings on the looper. Page 13-14 of the manual. I don't think you can sync clocks with this looper. That would require the looper to send MIDI back to the drum machine as well.
Is it true that when you turn the button by mistake, you loose your current loop ? Is it not too much annoying ?
I’m not sure what you mean sorry, I haven’t encountered that so far
Is the volume adjustable on the drum tracks? My big complaint about the original Loop Core was that I could not turn the drums down enough; at like 50% volume they would just turn off, so I either got really loud drums, or no drums at all. Hopefully this new one fixes it...
Yes you can adjust the drums level, and all the levels independently, thanks for the comment!
The Nux Loop Core falls short of being the sole looper I require. Firstly, it lacks a reverse playback feature, or at least it wasn't evident.

So what looper would you recommend to a beginning guitar player? Boss RC-5?
Hi great video. How log can you record for before it repetes ?
Regards Chris
Thank you! It’ll loop for pretty much as long as you like before repeating!
Nice! Can you change the bank with your foot? The last version had a midi pedal that came with it and it doesn’t seem to work with this version
I’m not sure to be honest, I didn’t try that function
I actually got it working great with my airtep midi control pedal, pleasantly surprised! I set it up so I can go up and down in the banks and turn the drums on and off, you can control any aspect of the pedal@@DerekPaulGuitar
Oh wonderful! Good news!
@@komapilot1 Hey Derek, could you please explain how you did? Gear, what cable etc...Thanks!
Batterie option?
No unfortunately
Thank you for the video. Just looking for clarification on bit specs. Is this 24 bit in mono and 32 bit in stereo. I can't find this info anywhere. ?
Thanks
Thanks for the comment, I’m not sure either to be honest, NUX are pretty good at responding to questions though, thanks
Thanks for responding to my question. Appreciate it. 😊
No worries at all!
Very good review!
Does it have the auto tempo sense like the old loop core?
Thank you!! I’m not sure to be honest but the tech data is very good on the NUX website
@@DerekPaulGuitar Thanks!
what is the longest fade out time??
I think it’s around 5 - 7 seconds there or there abouts
Hi you have peda with 3/4 4/4 6/8 beat drum ?
I think it does 3/4, 4/4 but not 6/8 thanks
Okey
Noob question.
Do all these drum/loopers require an fx loop ?
I assume straight through the amp the drum loops with be distorted/reverbed etc .. ?
Not necessarily, you’ll just get a cleaner signal path if your effects go through the FX loop, many people in clueing my self just run in in front of the amp and before or after the overdrive pedals depending on what you want to loop, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar thanks. I don't use any pedals at all. Have a blackstar Silverline special..

@@matt79hz It records what the guitar puts out if you don't have any pedals. You'd get a straight clean signal. You need an effects loop in your case.
can you import your own drum loops? if yes in what file format?
Any idea of it's true bypass?
It is yes, thanks!
@@DerekPaulGuitar thanks, I was searching the manual and the site for that info. Is it mentioned anywhere?
Good point! I could t see it either, but NUX pedals usually are and it’s a standard thing these days, having said that it was noiseless when not in use, cheers
As far as i know, most loopers are buffered. Boss,ehx, pigtronix, etc. Olthat was why i liked the original loop core deluxe
I’ll have to investigate, usually they are switchable from buffered to true when powering up
Drum sounds seem to be taken from NUX-MG300 as is. Kinda embarassing for such a pricepoint
Not loving the drum sounds.
Nice pedal, but the drums sound like 80's tech....weak...not inspirational.
The pedal looks sexy but the drum sounds are whack. Early 90's...(In a bad way)....No dynamism either.
Too many menus
Yep to much messing with menus
🤡 gets to straight beats then instantly switches out
yeah, if you can get the piece of shit to power on! These pedals suck
I got it as a Christmas gift, from my girlfriend , I am very satisfied ;-)
With the girlfriend or tge looper?
😂
