Need help with a looping device

1st : I'd like to know how/where should I look for a looping device like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAc2PPrkJbg
2nd: Is there any "technical" name for this device?
3rd : Does anyone know any software that can do the same things, using a mic?


Please answer me ):

I've been looking into this, but haven't purchased anything or tried to do it myself.

1. My friends who buy pro gear tell me Sweetwater is the place to go for things like this.
2. I'm not sure, but I think they are just called loopers. Here are a bunch of results on Sweetwater.
3. This site will probably give you more information than you could possibly want. ; ) You can also get looper apps for your iOS or Android device.

Have fun!

If you happen to have an iPhone there's an app for that. Don't know about Android.

Such a helpful comment, teruteru, thank you very much!

I wrote a looping device just today, first time I've made that mistake in years (little software engineering inside joke, but true, today).

Okay, seriously, now. DO you want to do live looping or build up recorded tracks? IF you're looking to do recording you can get by with any of several packages on your computer or even IOS device. If you want to do it live it really pays to have a dedicated pedal and there are any number of them with different capabilities as far as the number of tracks you can add and subtrack and how easy they are to use live and so on.

If you search "loop pedal demo" or "looper pedal demo" on YouTube you should get more information than you can absorb.


BTW, Here's one of the best examples of looping in a live performance that I've seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYEU91d8ngc

Peavey makes an amp thats got a looper built into Ecoustic E110. I got one for a couple weeks ago pretty neat to play with but a little weird getting used to it.
